POISON BRAN MASH 69 



Poison bran mash is a mixture of Paris green, bran, and sweetened 

 water, and is used particularly for cutworms. 



Mix, dry, | pound of Paris green and 25 pounds of bran. Mid- 

 dlings or meal may be used instead of bran, but the latter is to be pre- 

 ferred. Prepare some sweetened water, by mixing 1 quart of cheap 

 molasses and 2 gallons of water. Moisten the poisoned bran with 

 this sweetened water, using additional water if necessary so as to get the 

 bran thoroughly moist throughout, but not so wet as to be sloppy. 

 The poison mash thus obtained is scattered on the surface of the ground.
