No matter how much protection it has afforded up to now, the “home mixture” is beginning to fall dowii and the damage will be increasingly evident day by day. Lulled into a sense of false security by the success of “home mixture” before the cotton bloomed, the farmers'are expect ing it to protect their cotton against the weevil on through the grow ing sesaon, when the results right now are proving that it will not. As soon as you realize this, TURN TO HILL’S MIXTURE, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU COMPLETE PROTECTION (EXCEPT FOR WHAT IS ALREADY PUNCTURED). In the past few days I have received scores of letters from farmers in South Carolina and Georgia, who, awakened by my article in South Carolina papers ten days ago, kept a careful watch on their cotton and saw that the “home mixture” was not killing the weevil completely after the squares were formed. 1 will be glad to send anyone interested, copies of these letters upon request . Don’t buy experience i t feat’s crop! If'you are poisoning your crop with “home mixture’ ’ go out and make a careful thorough examination of your fields, and you will find some weevil and some puncturecTsquares. These weevil are j.ust the vanguard of the thousands that will begin to hatch out in a week or ten days and who will literally EAT YOUR CROP UP! REMEMBER, LATE JULY AND EARLY AUGUST ARE THE . CRITICAL WEEVIL PERIODS WHEN BOLLS BEGIN TO BE PUNCTURED. ONLY HILL’S MIXTURE WILL PROTECT THE BOLLS DURING THIS PERIOD. The weevil who ate the “home mix ture” before the cotton bloomed are deserting it now for the squares, and further applicaitons will be practically useless. I do not merely claim thfct the "home mixture” will not protect your cotton after it has bloomed! I simply ask that you keep a CAREFUL, day-by-day watch on your crop, and you will see that it DOES NOT for yourself. . Unfortunately, however, some farmers who saw, that “home mixture” poisoned the weevil successfully before the cotton bloomed, are giving no furtehr heed to the weevil, are not watching their cotton, and THEIR CROP WILL PAY THE PRICE! They are lulled into a false sense of security. Mr. jiill tried out the "home mixture” extensively, but found that it did not wbrk successfully after the squares 'had been formed, and it was this which influenced him to discover and perfect a secret ins E VI dient WHICH WOULD ATTRACT THE WE COTTON HAD BLOOMED! !VIL AFTER ingre- THE Not yet too late to t ‘ 9 save your cotton If you act' quicij, and begin using Hill’s Mixture now, it is not yet .too late to save your cotton, but if you wait much longer, it will be. I am receiving letter$Trom farmers in every section of the state, saying that HILL’S MIXTURE is protecting their cotton after the squares are formed, proving that our claim that HILL’S MIXTURE did attract the weevil was justified'. TKbse are, not letters written last year, from some far-off state by people you never heard of, but are from the most reputable, capable'farmers in'the state. They state in practically;every instance, that it is impossible to find a weevil or a punctured square in their cotton..
