| Annotation from Turfgrass History and Literature: Lawns, Sports, and Golf, by James B Beard, Harriet J. Beard and James C Beard: | "Contains minor revisions of a very rare, small book. The following procedure was recommended for mole control in 1927:
Take a long darning needle, nip off half the eye and fix the point into a cork or other suitable handle. Take some wool (Scotch fingering) and cut it into 2-in. lengths. Soak these pieces in a strong solution of strychnine, about double the strength of the British Pharmacopoeia Liquid Strychnine; the solution will then be as strong as it can be made. Allow the pieces of wool to dry. Procure a quantity of good-sized worms. Catch the middle of a length of wool in the truncated eye of the needle and thrust it into the worm near the head; insert all the wool and then withdraw the needle. Take a pointed stick, make one or two holes in each mole run and drop a treated worm in each. Level the mole-hills so that you can see at a glance if any moles have been missed." p. 165-166 |
