- By NEA Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 2—-DDT— the magic insecticide discovery of world war II—is not the wonderpreparation it's cracked up to be, department of agriculture research has revealed.

Here are some of the things a disiliusioned public is finding out about DDT since its recent appearance on the market:

1. It is not a good all-purpose insect spray. DDT is very fussy stuff.

HH For use against each bug or insect

it requires a different, sometimes complicated application. A person almost has to be an expert to use it properly. For one kind of bug you have to mix it with water. For another you have to mix it with oil. For still another purpose, it must be dusted. Government experts admit that for general use around the home it is not much better than some of the popular insecticides sold before the war. One of the rea-

2. It cannot kill the larvae of clothes moths, and it is the larvae which eat the holes in your overcoat. Properly applied, DDT does kill adult moths in a clothes closet, but not before they would have time to lay the eggs, which become larvae. 3 DDT acts much slower than most other commercial sprays. It takes up to ‘an hour, sometimes, before the insect dies after contact. You can’t spray a room-full of mos~ quitoes and kill them immediately, as you can with most commercial insecticides. DDT spray has to dry on the walls, screens or furniture. The insect must come in contact with ‘it, and then some 45 minutes or so later it will die. 4. DDT is harmful to honeybees and other beneficial insects. It is highly toxic to fish and certain other cold-blooded animals. 5. Against the screwworm, the heel fly or cattle grub, the chigger,

For cockroaches DDT is not quite as good as sodium flouride, which has been used for many years. 7. If used in a water spray, DDT leaves an undesirable white dust on furniture and walls. If used with kerosene or other oil it can. soil clothing and furniture and is dangerous as a fire hazard and to persons and animals if it touches the skin. Useful in Dairies First reports of DDT’s most successful peacetime use is from dairy farmers, Sprayed around barns it has been very effective in killing flies which are carried in on cows. Experiments with DDT as a spray for fruits and vegetables are still in preliminary stages. Already they show that DDT in soil at the rate of 25 pounds per acre retards the

Persons who have worked with it and have had most opportunity to assimilate it in small amounts report mild cases of the jitters and nervousness., * : Solutions Vary It is not yet known how effective DDT will be against mice and other rodents. Much confusion has resulted over the popular sale of DDT recently. Most users will have to learn what form or with what solution they want to buy it. There's a very specialized form of DDT for each use. Some dealers are reported selling very weak solutions and making exaggerated claims for it. To protect themselves purchasérs are advised to read the labels. carefully and acquaint themselves with the potency needed for the job to be done.
