Excerpt from Bulletin of the Georgia State Board of Entomology: February, 1907-November, 1911
As already mentioned, the first experiments against the woolly aphis were made in 1905. The original plan of the experiment called for the testing of all the remedies that have commonly been recommended, such as, tobacco dust, tobacco stems, whale oil soap, carbon bi-sulphide, etc., and also a test of kerosene emulsion at varying strengths, mixtures of to bacco and kainit, tobacco decoction, etc. In short, the plan was to test all remedies that seemed to possess any possible merit. How thoroughly the experiment was planned the reader may judge for himself.
