What reading level is The Small Grains book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The second brood of caterpil- lars feed on grasses and other green crops in the fall, pupate in the soil, and pass the winter there. Grass lands and waste places should be burned over, for prevention of these worms, and crop rotation is im- portant. A good remedy is the one of plowing a furrow CEREAL PESTS INSECTS 487 with the land side next to the field to be protected, and dragging a log through the furrow to keep the earth stirred and kill the worms which have accumulated in the ditch. Anoth...er remedy is to poison a strip of pasture or crop heavily with Paris green or London purple in advance of the traveling army of worms. A very effec- tive poisoned bait is made as follows : 50 pounds wheat bran, 2 pounds paris green, 2 gallons sorghum or cattle molasses, 3 oranges or lemons. The paris green is thoroughly mixed with the bran while dry, the molasses is then added, together with the fruit juice, and the mass kneaded into a stiff dough. The small pieces of this, on crumbling, are then scattered thinly over the infested fields.
