Spray Homes With DDT In the County The Martin County Health Depart ment. with the help of the State Board of Health, will resume DDT Spraying activities in the county this week. All houses sprayed last year will be treated again this year. In addition to these, new areas have been selected for spraying also, and the selection was based on the Ma laria Survey made by the State Board of Health. The town of Ham ilton is tentatively included and houses in and near Mobley’s Mill Pond will also be treated. The benefit derived from the spraying will more than compensate for the trouble occasioned the house holder in preparing the house for spraying. The Health Department hopes and expects that people will cooperate fully with the spraying crew when it arrives. The house holders will receive advance notice of the arrival of the spraying crew 'IpSHOTH JlfWl* dp to prepare their houses. It is suggested that any spr ing cleaning be done be fore hand, because if done after the spraying, the DDT will be destroyed. One spraying will be good for four months, and the DDT will kill mos quitoes, flies, and some kinds of reaches. Other undesirable house pests will be equally susceptible to the effects of the DDT. It is hoped that this work will ma terially prevent the spread of ma laria. and also at the same time eliminate diseases spread by flies. The tests last year proved very Satisfactory and successful.
