This spray is composed of sinox weed killer mixed with a 50% wetable DDT solution. This mixture kills both noxious weeds and insects from one application of spray. Noxious weeds are rapidly becoming a nuisance in the Klamath Project and measures are being taken to curtail their growth; June 26, 1946; Photo by J. E. Fluharty
