ton to new bait recently found

The mixture consists Of one
part paris green to about 33 OF

pounds Of the poison to 100
pounds of flour. Sprinkle the
mixture around the plants to be
protected in ring or shallow
trench. 1t may also DC broad
casted at the rate Of $50 to 300
pounds to the acre.
II there is no crop on the land,
pillow and allow it to stand a
week. Then spread the bait The
blowing ahead of the application
is necessary to deprive the crick-
cts of food. They are reported
to be very fond of the bait. Wait
four or five days before sowing
the crop to give the insects time
to get a good dose of the poison.
The old mixture which is used
against the crickets, grasshoppcrs,
army worms and various chewing
insects is made of paris green, /
pound; bran 20 pounds; water 2
gallons; cheap syrup or molasses,
2 quarts, and the pulp of six or
eight oranges or lemons. The
