Early tests show merit of Hill's Mixture against boll weevils
Dothan Alabama May 31 extensive experiments tested Hill's Mixture as a boll weevil poison. In fields near Weathers farm eight miles south of town about 1.5 acres were treated with about a ton of mixture. By Tuesday morning only one live weevil remained and many dead weevils were found across the treated area. Similar tests were conducted in Terrell County Georgia on farms of Raines and Hongsworth with five live weevils found among vast numbers of dead ones.
