ANSWER: The U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture say DDT has proved an* effective control for ticks. The Department recom-: mends a thorough dusting of grass, weeds, and shrubs in backyards, vacant lots, and recreation groimds where children play. One dusting early, in the season is usually all that is needed, but a second dust ing may be applied if ticks are discovered. Dusting at the rate of 10 ounces of 10 per cent DDT dust to 1,000 square feet is' sug gested. This is at the rate of a- bout 30 pounds to the acre. At this rate the dust is. not a health hazard to children, dogs, and pets. Three other precautions are ad visable, says the Department. “Tick inspection” should .follow outings where children or adults may be exposed to ticks., If dis covered, a tick should be removed with tweezers, not with the fin gers. A tick is not likely to trans mit the infective virus of the di sease until it has gorged. This gives a time margin of safety, and if ticks are removed before bed time they are not likely to cause the disease. Dusting or dipping dogs that less than the mmt of a bishel of I planting se^.
