While Japan will be whittled down from a prewar empire of 260770 square miles to 146690 square miles
the administration of the islands by the Allies will be a major task. The control of the 72000000 Japs on the
home islands will not be easy for the Allies. Map shows industrial Japan. Many of these industries will be displaced.

Miracle Insecticide
DDT Not a
New Deadly Bug Killer Has Effective Use
But It Also Has Its Limitations and
Danger When Improperly Used.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Thh is a guest column mitten by Winficld J.
Drydcn WNU Staff Correspondent and was not prepared by Baukhagc
whose column generally appears in this space each week.)
DDT much publicized Insecticide
saved thousands of lives ot our fighting
men and civilians In countries wlicro
our operations wcro extended but it is
not the panacea that wo would like to
bellove.
The Irony of the story Is that It was
discovered nearly seventy years ngo
by a German chemist named Zeldlcr
but was almost forgotten until redis-
covered during Jho present war by
Dr. Paul Mullcr and Dr. Paul Laugcr.
Theso Swiss scientists assorted recent-
ly upon their arrival In America that
with proper control flics mosquitoes
and other harmful Insects can bo elim-
inated entirely from the United Stntcs.
But nlong with these Insects would go
our pollen-carrying Insects bees and
other beneficial friends of mankind
nlso perhaps our birds and fish. Gone
also would bo many plants and trees
that depend upon Insects for poltnlza-
tlon. As they point out It Is a Job for
entomologists not laymen.
DDT has been made avallablo to
tho public In limited amounts. There
will soon be a sufficient supply to
meet every demand. Manufacturers of
tho products whether In liquid or pow-
der form are careful to glvo complete
Instructions as to Its application which
must be followed.
Scientists Tell of
Effective DDT Use
Despite Its Inherent toxicity DDT
In tho desired Inscctlcldal concentra:
tlons In nlr Is of such low order that
It will not cause Injurious effects in
humans Dr. Paul A. Neal chief of tho
research section of the division of
Industrial hygiene of the U. B. Public
Health Service has reported. It was
this knowledge that made It advisable
to spray from the air the Jones Beach
area on Long Island N. T. and part
of the city of Kockford Bllnola. In
both cases tho purpose was to control
Insects Jones Beach to kill sand fleas
and Bockford to kill polio-carrying
flies believed to have been the direct
cause for the serious Infantile paralysis
outbreak in many sections.
Lt Col. A. L. Ahnfeldt TJ. S. Sur
geon General's office after a study of
results secured in the army reports:
"In peace time DDT may well change
the destiny of the earth's population
. . . Our postwar world will no longer
bo scourged by typhus and maWla and
other insect-borne diseases. DDT is
not a cure-nil but In tho perpetual war
between humans and disease DDT Is
one of the most effective weapons yet
discovered by man."
"DDT will be to preventive medicine
what Lister's discovery of antiseptic
was to surgery and should close the
door forever on$hoso diseases which
ore companions of death-dealing In-
sects." In the field of agriculture the results
have been far from disappointing. Be-
markablc results have been obtained
by some of Its application while In
others the results were either negative
incomplete or its use not recommended
due to effect on birds and other Insects.
Will Prove Boon to
Hard-Worked Farmer
AVhllo agricultural use of DDT must
still bo considered In its experimental
state reliable and complete tests at
various state experiment stations have
proved that lt Is the best Insecticide
now on tho market for tho control of
the apple's most destructive pest the
codling moth.
It will kill Japanese beetle adults
while current remedies are based en-
tirely upon their repelling value.
The grape leafhopper and other leaf-
hoppers are highly susceptible to DDT
and excellent results hdvo been ob-
tained with lt against Oriental fruit
moth. It also has proved effective
against apple red bug pear thrlps
grape berry moth fruit treo leafroller
apple maggot cherry maggot and many
others.
In California It was proved that DDT
was effective against codling moths In
walnut nnd other orchards. At Missouri
"it was found that a three per cent dust
was cffectlvo In controlling blister
beetle squash bug; white fly thrlps
sowbugs corn earworm Colorado po-
tato beetle spotted and striped cu-
ewnber beetles northern corn root-
worm pavement ant lace-bugs leaf-
hoppers on grape flea beetles on egg-
plant 'iftid a ten per cent dust for
roaches fleas and squash bugs.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
reported that "DDT Insecticides wcro
found experimentally to bo definitely
more effective than those currently
used for control of some 80 pests that
REORGANIZE FARM

Consolidation of more than a dozen
offices and agencies of the Department
of Agriculture Into a new Production
and Marketing Administration has
been announced by Secretary of Agri-
culture Clinton P Anderson. The new

tion (PMA) is now headed by Under
Secretary of Agriculture John B. Hut-
son and Is made up of 10 commodity

A Good Insecticide
For Postwar Home
Brig. Gen. Simmons army medical
corps has said: "DDT will exceed oven
penicillin In Its ultlmato usefulness nnd
will prove to be the outstanding med-
ical advnnco made during the war."
One of tho newest products is a paint
containing DDT to bo used on walls of
kitchens dining rooms and In institu-
tions. Other Industrial uses have been
found by dusting with a 10 per cent
DDT powder around the sink in kitchen
and other places where cockroaches and
other insects stay.
DDT will eliminate the bedbug prob-
lem in hospitals as well ns In private
dwellings. It may bo applied' as a flvo
per cent spray or as a 10 per cent
powder to both sides of tho mattress
and springs. It also provides freedom
from flies and mosquitoes In hospitals.
The new aerosol bomb which releases
the DDT as an aerosol a cross between
a fumigating gas and an ordinary fly
spray Is excellent for this purpose. A
power spray may bo used in applying
a flye per cent DDT solution.
Just as it is proving effective on the
agricultural and Industrial front nnd
as lt saved lives on the war fronts
TJDT has started to contribute to tho
health of tho home front The story
of spraying for mosquitoes against ma-
laria is well known.
Painting door and window screens
with a five per cent solution of DDT
In water or keroseno leaves an Inscctl-
cldal residue that will kill every fly
mosquito or other Insect lighting there
within the next several months the
U. S. department of agriculture reports.
X five per cent solution of DDT In
kerosene sprayed on floors or over rugs
eliminates the flea nuisance. A hand
sprayer Is adequate. By spraying deep
Into cracks the DDT will remain toxic
to these Insects for several weeks.
A ten per cent powder applied to
cracks with a Bmall hand duster can
bo. depended on to kill any brown dog
ticks that may bo hiding there.
Baseboards especially those that
havo worked loose from the wall af-
ford excellent breeding places for bed-
bugs cockroaches and brown dog ticks.
DDT Is sure death to theso pests. A
hand sprayer held closo to the open-
ing will send the insecticide a Ave
per cent solution in kerosene down
where the Insects are concealed or a
large duster' of 10 per cent powder
may be used.
Average Citizen
Has Answer to
National Welfare
Thero Is considerable difference of
opinion with regard to the attitude
civilians will take during the next few
months. Their attitudes will largely
determine whether we havo a recession
of several months' duration and the
extcnf of tho recovery from such a
recession. One group thinks thnt In
spite of lower incomes based on a
shorter work week civilians will have
more leisure and spend more.
This group would expect a brisk
trade based on free spending. Impor-
tant segments of the federal govern-
ment would seem to favor policies that
would lead to free spending accom-
panied by what might bo termed con-
trolled Inflation. Tho other group ex-
pects people to be cautious and un-
willing to spend their accumulated sav-
ings. The committee for economic develop-
ment has Issued a report which gives
business men's estimates of postwar
markets for manufactured goods. These
estimates are optimistic. Tho commit-
tee points out that the postwar years
can roughly bo divided Into three pe-
riods: first short period ot reconver-
sion which may last through 1010;
second from 1W0 or early 1047 for a
year of deferred orders and tho last
period of self-sustaining.
Although Secretary Anderson Indi
cated that meat rationing was on the
way out possibly matter ot months
storage stocks are relatively low and
It is expected that the strong demands
for meats will bo maintained long
enough to absorb the rather heavy
movement ot cattle and bogs that Is
anticipated during the fall and early
winter months llango conditions have
been excellent and cattle men report
that the ranchers are in a mood to
carry larger than normal supplies of
range cattle oyer winter rather than to
sell them at substantial discounts front
present prices.
Ffcople Make Fun of
Mrs. Bculali Hankins
INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA.
Mrs. Beulah Hankins who lives at
C34 S. Collier wrote nn amusing
letter to Faultless Starch Com-
pany recently. She said
"I want to tell yon about yonr
wonderful siarcit. I snro think
it's grand. Several people
make fun of me for not boiling
my starch. They say this
starch is for lazy people. I
have a boy four years old and
I iron ten to fifteen suits of
clothes a week for him. I love
to iron them as Faultless
Starch makes easy ironing. I
also havo twins eight months
old and do they havo a laundry
from twenty to twcnly-flvo
dresses a week and most of
titcso arc white ones. They
iron so smooth and smell good.
Thanhs again for Faultless
Starch. It suro saves me many
hours of ironing."
. SAVES TIME AND WORK
That's probably tho most won-
derful letter anyone could write
about Faultless Starch! Mrs. Han-
kins is a busy wife and mother and
she has found that Faultless Starch'
saves time and work for her. She
makes starch without cooking" and
she has found that Faultless Starch'
makes her ironing easy. She gets
a kick out of people saying that
her Faultless Starch is for lazy-
people. Certainly sho isn't lazyl
MADE A SPECIAL WAY

on washday and ironing day you

saving help Faultless Starch can'
give you. You see Faultless Starch
i3 made a special way to help you
