weevils were found dead either on
the stalk or on tho ground under
the stalks. To show that there
were weevils here in considerable
quantities, I looked up the row
next to the poisoned area, and on
one row I found five live weevils.

' STATEMENTS '
Mr. Bashinski Makes Statement.
To Whom It May Concern:
I was predent this date in the
field of Mr. W. T. Phelps, near
Dublin, to check a test made with
Hill's Mixture for boll weevil.
Results showed that on six rows
on which the mixture was used, no
life weevils were fbund. On six ad
jacent rows, where no application
was used, there were found five
live'weevils. On marked stalks
where live weevils were found and
where .application was made in the
bud of the stalk, there were no
weevil found on the next day.
Five weevils were put in a wire
nev cage and the mixture applied
in the bud of the' stalk inside of
the cage. It was found that every
one of these weevils were dead the
next ddy. Another test with ten
weevils in a cage showfcd that six
of them were dead. .
1 might add that rain fell upon
the field on which this test was
made within an* hour after the
mixtuae was applied. This placed
the test at a disadvantage end to
my mind the test proves conclu
sively that Hill Mixture if applied
pryperly will solve the weevil quo*
'tion successfully.
Yours very truly,

It is claimed -for this mixture
that the weevil will climb qjilant
to get to it and this fact waa prov

two weevils yesterday. Thdy were
watched by County Agent Hart in
the open, from any enclosure, and
were seen to actually climb the

The inventor and demonstrator.

As a matter of fact a
heavy rain came up in about two
hours after the poison had been
applied,
Weevila All Dead
This morning it was chocked
and fifty cents per weevil was of
fered by the demonstrators for
sny live weevil found in the
treated territory. A careful and
minute search by Mr. Hart and
pthera failed to bring to light a
single weevil on the trested acre,
although they could be found : in
plentiful quantities over the rest'
of the field.
All five weevils in the enclosed
plant were found dead. Six wee
vils. all females, were dead 6n the
plant upon which ten had been
placed the afternoon before, four
were still alive due. no dottbt to the
fact that most of the poison had
been washed off by the heavy rain.
Mr. Hart stated that the demon
stration to him was “astonishing 4
especially in view of the weather
conditions and the very short time
allowed the poispn to act before
the rain.
The inventof of this poison is a
practical fanner of Burke county.
Last year he raised 604 bales of
cotton, by the use of this mix
ture. on 812 acres. The main fea
tures In its favor are simplicity of
application, and proven fact that
the weevil uflll actually seek ths
poison qpt to feed upon.

practical. Unquestionably, lp does
attract the weevil. If tne poison
bad no attractive power for ' the
weevil wt would hot have had any
fatalities of weevils, owing to the
short length of time the poison
had before the rain.
Out of the three fields we ex
amined yesterday they were all In
fested. If the fanners «re to get
the benefit from the poison they
should use it as early as possible,
because you not only stop the de
struction of your farms tnqt make
the fruit, but you stop the repro
duction of the weevils.
Mr. Hart Found Weevils
- County Agent J. IF. Hart also
reported finding dead weevils un
der the sulks of cotton in the
field of Mr. Sanders this morn

used yesterday afternoon.
