spraying 900 acres in Pennsylvania with
5 pounds of DDT in oil per acre. Before
spraying, the population was 80 birds

On the third day following spraying
only two birds could be found in the 40
acres.
Studies on 30-acre tract in Maryland
revealed that after spraying, the popula-

Spraying with such insecticides should,
