DDT Spraying To
Start Today In
Club Lake Area
Good Response Expected In
i Chub Lake Area In Next
Four Days.
The DDT spraying program for
elimination of mosquitoes in the
Chub Lake area is expected to get
underway today, according to Per
son Health Department officials,
who expect the work to be com
pleted by Monday. It is thought
that the spraying will go forward
at the rate of about twelve houses
per day.
Included in the spraying program
is the Fred Long cabin and the
cooking shed or barbecue pit, fre
quently used by week-end parties
connected with the USO Service
Center.
Good response at the preliminary
organization meetings for the DDT
project last week, particularly at
Duncan’s store, has been reported
and it is felt that the program will
be particularly effective. It has
been said that a number of malaria
cases have already beeh reported
this year, but the epidemic is not
as prevalent as it was last year.
Planned jointly by the State and
County Health Department in co
operation with the U. S. Public

, until recently a war-secret formula,
jis used in spray form by trained
Screws sent out under direction of
i the Person Health Department. It
is hoped that every eligible resi

Persons requesting the service
are urged to cooperate with the
workers by furniture to

! are equipped with tarpulins for
covering all articles which might be
harmed by the spray. Walls should
be 'cleared of pictures and other
decorations 'to make them access
ible. Dishes, cooking utensils and
I foods should be stowed safely out
of the way.
DDT leaves no stains and is
wiped from windows easily. It dries
quickly, leaving only a almost in
visible crystal coating that is harm
less to man and household pets
but certain death to insects. A
family may reoccupy a room in
safety a few minutes after spray
ling, while flies, ants, fleas, roaches,
and other insects —as well as mos

surface months later will die within

Dairy Farmers

Increase In Payments Allow

Dairy farmers in Person County,
will have benefit of increased pay
ment rates for milk and butterfat
production payments during the cur
rent quarter, beginning July 1, ac
cording to T. Hall, Chairman,
Person County AAA Committee.
These government payments to milk
and butterfat producers are adjust
ed quarterly to reflect changes in
production costs.
The new rates for Person County
for milk and butterfat production
in July, August, and September will
be 75 cents per hundred pounds for
milk, and 13 cents per pound for
butterfat, Mr. Hall said Rates for |
the quarter just ended were 55 cents I
per hundred pounds for milk and!
10 cents per pound for butterfat: j
! "Dairy farmers here are making
every effort to increase milk pro
duction," the chairman said. “High
er payments for production during |
the current three-months period |
will help offset the extra feed bills
when pastures brown off during the
summer and more feed and hay
jhave to be fed to maintain produc
tion levels."
‘ The dairy production payments.
I initiated in the fall of 1943, are
| made direct to producers by the Per- ’
son County AAa Committee upon
j submission of sufficient evidence of
productions and sales, and are de
signed to take care of the increase
in production costs without raising
the prices of milk and milk products
to consumers. Since started, the pro- |
gram has help farmers push milk
output to record levels without
breaking the barriers against infla
tion.
j Applications for payments on milk
