Danger from DDT?

The U S magmas, “Horti- culture Illusticted." has a note in its December 15th issue. on this very question. Undoubtedly DUI‘ ls effective against most forms of insect life; indeed I have yet to read of any insect that can stand up against it. In tests at the Con- necticut Agricultural Ebcperimient- al Station lt was found that DUI‘ effectively controlled the flea bePtIes and other insects. c

But other research at Dr. J C. Mnmchls laboratory at Upper Darby. Pennsylvania, seems to show ill effects when DUI‘ is used on potato foliage. Here is a quot- ation from Dr. Mimchls letter:-

"Whlle we have not made an ex- haustive in atkm. we have fomid that when ducts contalnini DDT were applied to potato plants in concentrations similar tothosc used commercially (exact amounts supplied not lane-warm in terms 1o! poun s per acre, 11g to “good commercial mwtlce"). and when we have fed such potatoes to guinea pigs. the fatty degeneration produced in the liv- ers of tncse animals is similar to that produced by DUI‘ itself. You will understand t-hc DUI‘ dust was applied to the vines and above- ground portions during the xww- ing season: the potatoes weredug, washed. and used in our studies, so there does not seem to be any strong chance of contamination. The Flood and Dru: Administrat- ion is now inveotfitntlng this very. question. but has not published "W Yflpwts up to date."

_It is well known now 151st cent- am of the newcr chemicals are ab- sorbed by foliage and conveyed down to the roots of plants. Dr. Munclfs emperimenm un-nlv t DDT may enter the tubes of Potatoes in that fashion. but his cautious letter. in effect. bids us await IlWlI-IICI‘ experiments before Bimini: iudsnnent.
