Show SURE DEATH TO ALL INSECTS Paris Green Mixed With Land Plas. ter Is One of the Eest Preventives of Ravages of Bugs. Paris green mixed with dry pow-i dered land plaster or rye flour, one tablespoonful to the gallon, is the, best preventive of the ravages of potato po-tato bugs, coddling moth, caterpillars, slugs and worms. If in solution mix, one pound in 200 gallons of water. Buy pure freshly made paris green. A cheap kind is lacking in strength. The paris green should be applied as soon as the first worms appear. The quickest way is to sprinkle it on with the hand. An active man can cover several acres in a day. Apply early in the morning when the dew is on the leaves. Two applications will nearly always answer. In case a shower should wash off the powder, a third application will be needed. Slug shot may be used instead of paris green. |
