New Method of Mesquite Control Awarded Hoblitzelle Prize
Charles E. Fisher, 41, superintendent at Spur Substation No. 7, won the 1952 Hoblitzelle agricultural prize for developing an airplane spraying method using 2 4 5 T to control mesquite on more than 400000 acres of Texas rangeland. The technique kills about 98 percent of mesquite, improves native grasses, aids grazing, and can be used while cattle graze, though care is needed to avoid crop damage.
