They controlled the European corn Inner in several ex periments and destroyed heavy in festations of Japanese beetles and eyp-y moths. Emulsions conlaininu DDT have liivcii nood protection to shade trees and shrubs against many oth er defoliating irtsects. including the locust leaf miner, elm leaf bee tle, canker-worm, and lent caterpil lar. DDT is lough on carpenter ants and oilier insects that attack logs and woodwork of buildings. However, the insect experts warn that DDT Is not a cure all for all insect problems. They say. moreover, that its indiscrim inate use may damaffe Important food or seed crops and destroy beneficial insects which keep certain injurious insects under control. The Department of Agriculture, in cooperalion wild various state agricultural experiment slations and oilier agencies has been test ing DDT lor more than four years. The department's bureau of ento mology and plant (piaranline sug gests these precautions in using Ihe potent insecticide: 1 Care should be taken to avoid exdessive residues of DDT on fruits and other parts of plants or plant products to be used as human food. 2. Persons should avoid repeated or prolonged exposure In DDT it: oil solutions as it is readily ab sorbed through the skin 3. Extra caution should be taken when using oil sprays in buildings because of its inflammable nature. 4. DDT oil spray should not be used on animals because DDT may be absorbed by Ihe skin. 5. It's a good idea to consult your county agricultural agent or! stale experiment station about the use of DDT. The bureau points nut that while there is no known proven case of DDT having been inju rious to humans, It is neverlhc. Ies a Mnoii. 'Therefore it ad vises that persons he careful not to swallow DDT or to leave oil solutions of the insecticide on the skin for any length of time. DDT is soluble in nil but not in water. The bureau says thai in field tests. DDT has given excellent con trol of Japanese beetles on grapes early apples peaches, and miscel laneous trees and shrubs. Experiments show DDT to be a potent weapon against the cod dling moth, a fruit pest. However, in tests in nearly all sections of Ihe country, destructive miles de veloped to serious proportions in DDT-lestcd plots except when Xan thome was included in the spray Three applications of DDT on ap ples in Hudson Valley. New York, reduced infestations of the apple maggot from 25 per cent lo 2 per rent . Scientists say that because of DDT's effectiveness against the European corn borer, it is pos sible control of this insect on canning and field corn may be come practical. Fungicide dusts and sprays, tn which DDT was added, controlled infestations of Colorado potato beetles and potato flea beetles. In some eases, the treatment increased the potato yield hv 70 per cent. The funelride-DDT combination appeared tn have no adverse afferf on the potato plants. The insect experts say DDT is well established as "the perfect answer" to Ihe bedbug problem. It also is an important weapon in combatting sand flies, several spe cies of ants in buildings, fleas in houses, and brown dog ticks in floor roverinps and baseboards. A 10 per rent DDT powder may be dusted on dogs which have the brown ticks. About one-fourth tea- spoonful is dusted over the entire nimal ' . . . .

TIs use in control of horn flies and other flies which pester cat tle is. already worth $100,000,000! a year lo cattle owners, according to P. V. Cardon. administrator of research for the Department oil Agriculture. Cardon says the re turns lo cattle farmers will he verv greatly increased as the use of DDT becomes more general. Agricultural experts estimate that some 8 to 10 million cattle were sprayed with DDT last year. They predict that from two to three times that number will be given DDT treatments this year. The total cattle pop ulation of the country is around 84 million. Tiny horn flies which suck the blood from a cow in summertime have cost American cattle and dairy farmers plenty. If flies are bad -sometimes 4.000 settle on a cow beef cattle won't put on weight and cows don't give as much milk as they should. Some experts hnve estimated the peak horn-fly drain from the farmer pocket bonk at a million dollars a day. In a test on a Kansas ranch, 600 rattle of all ages and classes were spraved with DDT. They gained 18.000 more pounds than the same number of unsprayed cattle. On another ranch each pound of DDT resulted in an increase of 2,306 pounds of weight. It was esti mated that each dollar's worth of DDT accounted for at least 1,000 pounds of beef. In four counties in Florida. 2R.nnn head of cattle and 130 barns were sprayed. It was con servatively estimated that in the month following the spray ap plications there was a gain of 700.000 pounds of beef and an inrreasc of 30.000 gallons of milk which could be attributed dirrctly to the use of DDT. The period for cattle spraying in most parts of the country is about 14 weeks -from May 15 to Septem ber 1. In (he south, of course, the season is longer. Two or three thorough sprayings may do the job for the entire summer. Insect experts say it is a good idea to kill relatively few flies early in the spring rather than have to combat millions of them later in the summer. The Department of Agriculture says a preferred spray is a 50 per cent wettable powder. It is point ed out however, that county agri cultural agents and state college people can advise how to mix DDT and how best to apply lt If a farmer doesn't have a hand spray, he can sponge It on or ap ply with a paint brush or a piece j of cloth.

Since the bif, disagreement with the union is over wages, we have offered to submit the fairness of our wages lo an impartial Kfup of citizens in the South and abide by their decision. Such a board of arbitration would decide, among other things, the extent to which recent wage set tlements in other industries have a bearing, if any, on telephone wages in the communities served by .Southern Bell. Some of these indus tries have stated that it will not be necessary for them to increase prices, but since the telephone company is a regulated public utility, telephone users must pay in rates for service what the com pany has to pay out in wages. We think our offer to arbitrate is the best way to stop the strike and the fairest to employees and telephone customers alike. But the union has refused this offer. Why?
