decided to make some Investigations
for ourselves and accordingly left
the party and interviewed the bust
ness men, bankers, etc. of Waynes-
boro, 'and then drove over the coun-
ty in different directions. When we
saw a farmer at his home or in the
field we would interview him on the
subject of Hills Mixture.
we received only one reply and
chat was that everybody who used
it last year made good crop and
those who did not, failed. Not a
single man interviewed spoke of the
preparation except with praise and
with the statement from the planters,
that they would use it this year.
But perhaps the best evidence of
he popularity of Hills Mixture
among the people who have seen its
results is contained n,the fact that
the company has already sold in
Burke county for use in 1928 more
chan 100000 gallons. This is not
fairy tale but figures taken from the
books of the company. L. D. Hill,
che originator of Hills Mixture is
the best authority on boil weevil l
have ever heard, and many Of the
matters now being suggested by So
called experts are subjects upon
which he has absolute information.
The company is turning out at this
time IS carloads per day and in
creasing their capacity.
They have in store more than $780,
600 worth of calcium arsenate for
the production of HiIPs Mixture.
The syrup used as a binder is receiv
ed by the factory in tank cars and
can be unloaded three at time, re-
curing only thirty minutes. This
gives one an idea of the magnitude
of the Hills Mixture corporation,
and yet they will not be able to take
care of the orders judging from
present indications when the growing
season starts.
"The company is financed by Bar
rett & Co., Of Augusta, Ca, who are
among the largest cotton men in the
Southeastern states, and the factory
is managed by Mr.. Nixon, formerly
in the wholesale grocery business in
Augusta, Ga, who retired some five
years ago from active business, and
only became identified with this
company because of his enthusiasm
after seeing the results obtained
from it's use.
Kills Mixture is no longer in
the experimental stage, but every
claim made for it has been proven
beyond doubt and any skeptical
doubling Thomas pessimist from Mis-
souri, who will take the trouble to
investigate for himself Will come
away a convert to Hills Mixture"

WITT INVESTIGATES
WEEV|L DESTROYER
Claims 35 Car Loads Per Day

E. j. Witt, who recently accented
the agency for the sale Of Hills
Mixture in Sumter and SchIey coun-
ties, returned last night after an alb
sence of several days spent in Au-
gusta, Waynesboro and Burke coun-
ty, where he went for the purpose
OF obtaining first hand information
relative to the merits of Hills Mix
ture as boil weevil exterminator.
Mr.. Witt made the trip at the in
vitation of the Hills Mixture cor
pration, who had invited their
agents from Texas to North Caro-
lima to come to Augusta on Tues
day in order to learn something
about the product they are offer
ing cotton planters.
Ample facilities were provided TO-.
taking care of the large number of
agents and taking them over Burke
county where this mixture was used
in considerable quantity last year,
Mr.. Witt says.
The factory where the mixture is
manufactured was visited, well in.
formed speakers were on hand and a
number of splendid and instructive
talks on the subject of boil weevil
control were heard, at dinner Civ
en- Tuesday evening by the company
to the visiting agents, says Mr.. Witt.
Mr. Witt seems to be highly
pleased with the results of his in
vestigation, and when seen by a

NINE
AGAIN BEATEN
Six Baiitossers Known Here
With Down County Dia-
mond Combination

Tom Henshaw's Cranbury base
ball team in the Three County base
ball league was again defeated On
Saturday afternoon, losing an 3-5 de-
cision to the Lakewood representa-
tive nine. Lakewood recently was
added to the ranks of this circuit.
Inability of Bagley. the first Gran
bury pitcher to check the Lakewood
batters, was responsible for the out
come of this game. During the lat
ter part of the contest, Captain Hen
shaw went to the mound for his
team and pitched in m~asterful fash
ion.
In addition to Henshaw, the Gran
bury team had Mickey Milchick of
this city, Spille of New Brunswick,
Pete Burnett, "Dopey" Smith and
Harry McEnrod of the Perth Amboy
nine. Henshaw played at short first,
Milchick and Spille in the outheld,
Burnette at second, Smith at the in
itial sack and McEnroe at the diff
cult corner. This was the first game
with Cranbury for Spille and the
three Amboy infielders, and Captain
Henshaw is confident that his pres
emit lineup will make the balance
Of the league step fast.
This year Freehold and the Bash
nine of Trenton are the strongest
outfits In the league. 1t is probable
the pitching staff of the Cranbury
nine will be strengthened for next
Saturday.

south Amboy on Saturday afternoon
IN the first half of the fourth in

allowing the fast going railroad EN-
ployes to two safeties, but five err
rors b yh1s team mates enabled the
cohorts of Manager Thomas to tally
three runs. Two hits were made
on warner in three innings.
The South Amboy representatives
counted one run in the first and
d two more rum in the last Of
the third. The home team did not
go TO bat in the fourth session, the
rainfall in South Amboy was much
more heavier than it was in this civ.
This contest was scheduled %
be the first of an annual series and
1t is probable that when the next
meeting is arranged, the two teams
VIII clash in South Amboy so that
one complete game is played on the
cross-river field. The second game
VIII be played on the Raritan Cop
per diamond.
The two industrial league contests
scheduled for Saturday were put off
on account of the Terra Gotta ex-
cursion.

tired and Daugherty received a pass.
Then followed Ruddy's clout over
the right field fence.
The Dogs were retired in order in
the ninth although Brownmiller

play where the runner should have
been given the advantage.
Friss. the visitors outhelder, made
three of his teams hits. two doubles
and a single while Rudy and Nc
Auliffe collected five of the local
safeties. Mickey Loeser was back
in left field and performed well.
McAuliffe was in center and Stinsan
in right. The locals made two
double plays in this contest
The heat yesterday told on the
players and also apparently had
some effect OF Umpire Kelly. Brown
miller's mistakes are caused by his
practice Of giving a decision before
a play is completed.
The Cuban Stars are carded for
