The first of these, after stating
that there ar«- now more than 150
different brands of DDT pnxiuetv
on the Oregon market, explains
I the different forms and their best
uses.
DDT products arc now sold as
wettable powder* for sprays,
dusts, DDT-in-oil products, and
DDT aerosol bombs. AU of these
have their special uses and some
may be used more or less inter
changeably while others cannot.
. The circular also stresses the
fact jjiat DDT is not in the cate
gory of deadly poisons such as
must lx- labeled with skull and
crossbones, but that simple pre
cautions are necessary.
The other circular lists all the
common garden vegetables with
their principal petts and tells
whether DDT, will control them or
not. Dusting powder of 3 per cent
strength is the most useful In the
garden, states the author. Dr. Don
