Facts About DDT—What It
Will- And Will Not-Do
The true story of the value of
DDT is now onierKiiiK from the
k.ivernmcr'! lulwratories at Wash-
ington. Ui ::rd Pre«R sent a staff
c rresponr!' '.L into the laboratories
to survey the results of the govern-
ment tests. In a series of five rlis-
ji itches, of which this is the sec-
ond, is the up-to-the-minute story
of what ih: housewife, the farmer,
the stock-raifcr, the conservation-
ist and I-1'1' physician may expect
ol' the ne.v insecticide.
By RUTH GME1NER
I nited t'r - Staff Corre«pondent
^ASITi: GTON. -Tan. 22 (UP)—
While hour vdves and farmers ai*
hilling DDT ws sure death to many
in ect wemies, naturalist* warn
that it can cause harm, too.
However, the theory that DDT,
if used over wide area.-;, may com-
pletely upset the "balance of na-
ture" now has largely been ex-
ploded.
Entomologists point out that the
hundreds of bugs that destroy trees,
gardens and crops hardly can be
said to maintain a favofftble bal-
ance now. The spruce budworm, for
instance, kills millions of acres of
valuable forest land annnnlly and
is on the increase despite control
efforts.
On the other hand, DDT Is dis-
tinctly poisonous to many bene-
ficial insects and wildlife. It does
not spare the honey bee which
plays the leading role in pollinn-
tion of at least 60 agricultural
crops.
FVisonntis to Fish
Th;- Fish and Wildlife Service
soon will nmke public a report on
the effect of DDT on animals and
other Wildlife. It v ill sumirame
experiment'! in the last 8 months
in 12 stTitos and Ontario.
These tests show that DDT, even
in minute quantities, is highly poi-
sonous to fish and other cold-
blooded creatures such as snakes
and crabs. In one test, DDT mist
accidentally blew over a pond sev-
eral hun'rod yards from the ex-
periment area nnd killed the fh<h
population within minutes.
Warm-blooded creatures were
virtually unaffected when only
small quantities of DDT were used
-one-half pound per acre. But
many died when as much as five
pounds were distributed.
DDT seemed to nffect only a
small number of birds in areas
sprayed with rmnll amounts nf the
insecticide. The lower dosage
I proved nearly as effective apainst
| the pe*' a: the larger ones. Kgirs
i.i nests sprayed directly by DDT
were unharmed.
j Urge Caution in flee Areas
| Most birds thai died apparently
had ten insectr- poisoned by DDT.
BirJs. however, sought other feed-
ing grounds after DDT was spray-
ed..
The service p'.inted out that 80
I per went of the nation's game is
dependent on an agricultural en-
vironment.
One of the great fears of DDT's
ier.dliness is that it may make
inroads on the bee population. Bees
j have decreased steadily in recent
j years. Insecticides have been much
I to blame.
Recent studies show the chenii-
| cnl may be less harmful than some
I other insecticides. The death rate
i i.s high when, bees are sprayed di-
| rectly. They appeared less affect-
j ed when visiting flowers sprayed
with DDT.
Agriculture Department scien-
tists believe that if caution is used
in spraying areas where bees seek
honey, most danger can be avoided.
Here are some of the suggestions
the wildlife service will make for
DDT:
1. Use DDT only after weighing'
its value against the harm to bene-
ficial forms of life.
2. Always use a mirimum dose.
3. Appl.V only in calm weather to
assure even. distribution. (Spray-
ing from plnnes will .be used ir
most outdoor areas covered by these
i oeommendntions.)
4. Avoid spraying lakes, pom! t
•or coastal areas. (This is not til

i ways practical.)
5. Leave n sanctuary for birds, or
animals that migrate from DDT-
treated strips.
6. Time the applications. Apply
before the leaves appear to con-
trol early insects and after the
nesting season for late ones.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.3 !U.R) —
Southern Democratic Congress-
men opposed to OI'A's cotton ceil-
ing price plans met today to go
over the situation.
The meeting followed a state-
ment by Price Administrator Ches-
| ter B'.wlcfi on raw cotton.
Howler, -'.aid the ceiling price no-
tices for ItM'.i cot ton were merely
tentative. If the price of cotton be-
<onv.-;< tiibilized, he said, "no ceil- '
i inir will be iinfosed."
Sens, .lohn H. Bankhead, D., j
Ala., en,! Elmer Thomas, D., Okla., !
have threatened to oppose any ex- ;
tension of price control after June j
30 if the ceilings are imposed.
The density of population in
; Nebraska is 17.2. j
