cover five to ten acres spread by
hand and 20 acres with machinery,
and do not use it after nine o'clock
in the morning. If possible use it
at daylight as the hoppers come
down from the weeds early. This
mixture at present prices costs about
$3.50 per hundred pounds mixed.
Paris Green can be used but it is
not as efficient aften times and is
much more expensive. Shorts free
bran can be obtained at either of
the Golden Mills, at Arvada feed
stores or at the Lorgmont Elevator
Company plant in Denver. Ordin-
cry run bran decreases the efficien-
cy Of the poison because of the
shorts that dries and bakes. Molas-
ses can be obtained for about ten
cents per gallon by calling at E.
Apel's place or by seeing the county
agent. This mollasses was obtained
from the Great Western Sugar Com
psny for the purpose and is much
cheaper than anything else that can
be usd. Amyl Acetate can be OBJ
tained from the county agent who
has supply on hand from last
year.. This is sometimes called
Banana oil. Oil of Anis can be
used. The purpose Of the salt. mo-
lasses and Amyl Acetate is to draw
or attract the hoppers and make the
moison more efficient. White Ar
scnic is very strong and should be
handled with extreme care, both
with the hands and care not to
breath any Of the dust. This ar
senic can be obtained for about ten
cents per pound At the American
Refining company plant at Globe
vile.
Walter johnson says that the on
~ place on Green Mountain where
there is any grass is on the two
thousand acres that he poisoned
with this formula last year. He
s.ys that the hoppers are moving
onto this as fast ~ they can and
has found It necessary to cut down
en- the number. He is not poisining
this year because Of the lact Of CO.
operation on the part Of the sur
rounding land owners who do not
get at It together. All the grass
land around Golden and north as
tar - he county extends is devas-
tated and the hoppers are now en-
gagged in grubbing out the roots and
moving. Some damage has been
done south Of Morrison to grass.
Ernest APPLE has used several hund.
red pounds Of Bran on rnspberrics
and other crops including the big
road with 100 per cent results in
two or three applications. Several
Of Mr.. Apel's neighbors have used
some and more will need it Is the
hoppers grow. Joe Pearson on 81.
ave has made up his mind that
something will have TO be done be.
fore the season is over. II seems
to be pretty near universal custom
en- the part Of the majority to let
the hoppers eat things up = time or
two before control methods are
deemed necessary.
No parasitic action can be found
20 far this season. Stomach fungYkl
end q species Of flies will eventux
ly put the hoppers out Of business
tut this usually does not occur in
less than three years Of infestation
altho Il may happen at any time II
weather conditions are favorable to
the development Of the parasites.
This will not happen in the particu.
lsr species Of weather that has been
the rule the last few weeks. II
everybody will do just little, get
together In the community and pro-
tect his own and the roads and waste
Places the hoppers would not in
crease 10 rapidly for next year.
Poisoning Is good business.
