6, Gallons Of Formula

Grandpappy Spears helps Lum and Abner at the Jot 'em Down Store mix gallons of the Hemstead formula meant to save Pine Ridge from boll weevils while orders pour in from farmers such as Earl. Constable Ben Withers has been pressed into service as a delivery boy, and the men debate how to protect the formula even as they dream of getting rich. A call comes from Thompson, head of the Pike County Cotton Growers Association, offering to buy six thousand gallons if the spray works as claimed, leaving Lum and Abner convinced that fame and fortune are finally coming to the Edwards and Peabody Chemical Company.
