DOT Is a Boon
And Boomerang
Kills Not Only Mosquitoes,
Flies, but Birds and
Fish, Tests Show.

CHICAGO. - DOT, the war-devel-
oped insecticide, is proving to be
both boon and boomerang, says
the Associated Press.
1t is killing mosquitoes and flies,
but it is killing birds and fish, too.
These intended and unattended re-
suits are being noted in tests now
underway in forest, farm and marsh
areas around the country, tests
which make it clear that DOT must
be used with great care.
A progress report on current ex-
periments was obtained in an inter-
view with Dr. Clarence Gotham,
chief of the division of wildlife re-
search of the interior departments
fish and wildlife service.
"DDT is effective against most
types of insects" he said. ut is
highly effective against flies and
mosquitoes. Where properly used, it
also will have great value in the
control of field insects.
Hits Fish and Birds.
"But it will kill lot of things
we don't want killed. Our studies
show that five pounds per acre in a
forest will either kill birds or drive
them out. More than one-half pound
per acre is damaging to fish, turtles
and frogs. DOT is effective against
bees.
at kills beneficial insects as well
as obnoxious insects. Therefore, 1t
should be used with understanding,
intelligence and caution. DOT has
great potential use, but it will be a
boon only if properly used. If used
in excess, it will be like scalping
to cure dandruff. It will do more
harm than good"
During the war scientists watched
the chemical used in checking
typhus at Naples and to destroy
disease = carrying flies, mosquitoes
and lice in other war zones. They
too figured that it could be harm
full as well as helpful if handled in
discriminatory.
Last spring the fish and wildlife
service joined in experiments de-
signed to determine the smallest
amounts of DOT that could be used
effectively against pests without de-
stroying desirable or economical
ly important forms of life.
Shown by Tests.
The PatuXent wildlife research
refuge in Maryland, a 2,600-acre
reservation, became one of the
proving grounds.
An airplane strewed the COM
pound over 117-acre tract there
on the basis of two pounds per acre.
The drifting spray killed fish in pits
$50 to 200 yards away from the test
area.
DR.. Gotham reported that DOT
can control certain forest insects but
it also eliminates insects .on which
birds feed. The department of agri-
cultures bureau of entomology, he
added, recommends that the insecti-
eide be used on small scale in
wooded sectors and be restricted in
such cases to no more than a half
pound per acre. Preliminary OBJ
servations, he said, indicated that
it is effective against mosquitoes in
doses as small as one-tenth of a
pound per acre.
Still without answers are these
questions:
When the chemical remains in wa
ter, will it have cumulative effect
on such delicacies as ducks, oysters,
clans and crabs?
What effect will it have in agricul-
tural districts on necessary soil bac-
terra?
