HILL’S MOLASSES
MIXTURE
The only Dependable Remedy for 801 l Weevil Control. Is to the Farmer’s Cotton Crop
what an Insurance Policy is to the Merchant’s Stock of Goods: An
Indemnity Against Loss . And to the Laborer what a Life
Insurance Policy is to the widow and children
when the head of the family dies
WORD TO OTJR HOME PEOPLE:
If your cotton is cotton that will cotton; if the squares that ultimately will produce
cotton are not punctured, then protect your squares with that mixture known as Hill’s
Molasses Mixture, that is to-day giving 100 per cent protection to those who are using this
preparation as prepared by us according to the formula of the originator, Mr. L, D. Hill, of
Gough, Ga. There is more protection in one gallon of this mixture, as prepared by us, than
you will receive from 100 pounds put on your cotton in the dust.
If your cotton is cotton that will not cotton in this year of Our Lord 1922, then you
need a guardian and no Molasses Mixture, as this preparation is only compounded to destroy
that pest, the Mexican cotton boll weevil, that destroys the fruit on your cotton plants, and
is not a fertilizer, mule or plow hand, but will give what fruit your cotton takes on
the maximum protection.
You will soon be flooded with propaganda telling you that the mixture that has saved
your June crop will do you no good in July, as the cotton plants have grown so large that
you must use dusting methods to save your crop.
There is a reason for this, which is simple, when you understand the dusting process. A machine scatters the
arsenate all over the plant, the land, and everything else in sight; so you are supposed to have a cotton weed now
sufficiently large to cover this waste of material without your notice. Don’t be misled by this tommy-rot of the
dusting machine trust, but just stick to your Molasses Mixture and you will save money in the cost of protecting
your crop; you will save money by not buying a dusting machine, you will save money by not killing your stock,
pulling this machine at night; you will save money by not hiring a high-priced man to operate the machine at night,
and you will profit by the increased yield from your cotton treated with Hill’s Molasses Mixture. Be not deceived,
for what will save you in June will certainly save you in July.
Use Hill’s Molasses, Mixture and work satisfied
labor, and enjoy yourself by that feeling of security
and satisfaction caused from the knowledge that your
crop of cotton is thoroughly protected from destruc
tion from the boll weevil.
