Poison bran for killing hoppers now available
Two carloads of government funded poison bran have arrived in Plymouth county to combat grasshoppers this season. In Hinton and Akron, farmers can obtain the bran at local elevators or the county agent’s office, with government covering the cost beyond handling. Last year two carloads were effective as hoppers damaged farms. The mixture uses 100 pounds poison bait, 80 bran, 15 black strap molasses, 5 white arsenic per sack, and nine gallons water per sack. Also notes broader Iowa pest threats and a warning from L C Landschulte about 1935 vehicle licenses and towing costs.
