THE MOST EFFECTIVE GRASSHOPPER POISON 
Many customers have had difficulty in growing flowers and gardens 
because of the hopper pest. Here we give the most satisfactory formula 
we have ever used. 
Dry mix 2 gallons of bran with one fourth pound of paris green. Stew 
2 quarts of rhubarb (as for pies), let cool, then mix with half a pint of 
black molasses and add a small teaspoon of anise oil. Mix with the bran 
thoroughly. If mixture appears too dry add some water, as all of the mixture 
must be wet. Scatter after sundown or at daybreak. In scattering, press 
the particiles into a pasty form and broadcast. Repeat every two weeks as 
long as necessary. 
CORRECT WATERING METHODS 
Never water until necessary, then soak the ground thoroughly. This 
will usually suffice for 10 days or 2 weeks. Do not fail to cultivate after 
each watering as soon as the surface is dry enough. A mulch of fine dirt 
to a depth, of 2 inches is the ideal moisture conservant. The finer the mulch 
the better. Dig down to the roots of the plants and if the ground is moist 
the plant is not suffering from lack of moisture. Irrigation by applying 
water around the base of the plants is preferable to the sprinkling method. 
Never sprinkle the foliage of plants or flowers during the extreme heat 
of the day if possible to water in the. evening. CULTIVATE OFTEN.
