I have a field of asters adjoining a 

 hay field on one side. Grasshoppers are 

 doing much damage to the asters. Is 

 there any means of destroying the grass- 

 hoppers? F. M. — Mich. 



The grasshopper pest is so common in 

 some of the western states that many 

 poison baits are employed there to save 

 crops. The most effective one seems to 

 be that which has come to be known as 

 the Kansas formula. It is prescribed by 

 the Department of Agriculture. 



Take one pound of Paris green and 

 mix, dry, with twenty pounds of bran. 

 Mix thoroughly, but be careful not to 

 breathe the dust. Then take two quarts 

 of syrup of any of the cheapest grades, 

 and add to it two oranges chopped up 

 and the juice squeezed out. Put these 

 two ingredients in three to four gallons 

 of water and mix thoroughly with the 

 bran and Paris green. The quantity of 

 water should be enough to make a moist 

 but not wet mash. The Department of 

 Agriculture says the above quantity is 

 enough to cover five acres of land, as it 

 should be spread in small quantities, 

 early in the morning. Farmers are ad- 

 vised to broadcast in the same manner 

 that grass seed would be sown.
