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, 4 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.
