"The Statesman Poisoning of the ground by us ing too much of four wonder bug killers has been reported to the American Association of Economic Entomologists, writes Howard W. Blakeslee, associated press science editor, in a recent release The four inject killers are DDT, BHC, Chlordane and Toxaphene. This soil poisoning the scientist says is bad for many plants, good for a few and of :io known human risk. The discovery does not stop the use of the new insecticides, but opens a new science for farmers and gardeners to "call their shots" by choosing the right bug-killer for the right environment. In one kind of soil the poisons are harm less. In another they retard plants and interfere with root growth. They will harm one plant in the same soil where another kind of plant is untouched. They act like hormones to make a few plants grow better; they kill some seeds in the ground, but improve others by killing the fungi that eat them. The government has been study ing for four years what becomes of the poisons when they ars sprayed to protect crops. The re port was made this week by Dr. Frank P. Cullinan. assistant chief bureau of plant industry, soils and agricultural engineering, Washing ton. D.C. "The poisons." said Dr. Cullin an in his report, "sink into the ground. And they stay there. Even after four years in the ground they are harmful to some plants." Dr. Cullinan said that in spray ing, anywhere from six to eighty pounds of insect killer are used per acre. Most of that sinks into the ground. He adds that these insecticides have raised yields of fruits, vegetables and field crops, and reduced expenses of produc tion, so their use will continue. Now the government is looking for the safe limits and the antidotes.
