First: Since my father was ma
son, and I, Lloyd Silvers, his first
child is also a Mason, as well as his
stepson Harold Carriger who is
also a Mason; in due respect for
the sacred rites of the Craft 1 think
this fact should have been empha-

thur H. Silvers, my sons. He also

Fourth: This is the true course

Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey
NATURES DDT.

Indian chemists do not go too
deeply into research. Once they ac-
complish what they set out to do,
their interest ends. Thus they
slipped up on developing DOT from
the roots of Lonchocarpus, the
foundation. of DOT. They used it
to stun fish so they could be picked
up from the surface of the water
and be unf1armed for food. 1t never
occurred to them that this ingredi-
ent could do away with noxious,
singing insects. That refinement
was left to American scientists.
Lonchocarpus is native plant of
the American tropics and during
the last war became the main
source of rotencne, since derris
roots which grow in the Far East
were not reaching foreign markets.
/ During its early growth, Loncho-
carpus resembles a vine. Later it
assumes a bushlike growth and it
may reassume vine habits to climb
a nearby tall tree. 1t thriyes in a
tropical climate where there is at
least 80 inches of rainfall each year.
At the time Of harvest only the
top is cut away; the roots, after re-
moval from the soil, are dried either
in the hot sun or in a drying cham
Der. Then they are tied in bundles
to be shipped to the countries pre-
pared to complete the processing
The roots are ground into powder
mixed with a diluent, such as tale
for busting, or liquid is added tt
it for spraying
Prior to the last war the United
States utilized from so to 10 pei
cent of the worlds commercial pro-
duction. DDT was so effective oul
yearly imports for 1938-40 averaged
a million pounds.
Rotenone is ideal for use on CROP
plants because it does not leave a
poisonous residue and vegetable
growers feel they can use copious
draughts of the mixture and wipe
out millions of unwelcome insects
cozily settled on cherished vege-
tables. So the supply falls far be-
hind the demand. though natures
DDT will continue to stun fish and
knock out insects.
