' DDT Said Effective In Controlling Snakes The early day system of cir cling a bedroll with a braided hair lariat or riata may have been effective in keeping rattlesnakes away from camp. Most people would like to keep them at a greater distance and where can one get enough braided hair rope? The modern way is to control the snakes so that they will not return. A technical release en titled "DDT for Snake Control" confirms the observations of sev eral Jackson people who tried out this system in 1950 with ex cellent results. The article states: Successful Control "Several members in the mid west have reported, successful control of occasional snakes in buildings through the use of 50 per cent DDT tracking powder. In areas where DDT can be safely used, the 50 per cent . tracking powder should be ap- plied , lightly to surfaces which the snakes will contact if they j find their way into buildings. "Snakes should be controlled by chemicals only as a last re- j sort. They have their place in , nature and are beneficial to some ; extent, for they feed on worms, slugs, insects and rodents. The 1 use of DDT dusting powder' for , snake control may be used ; where the problem cannot be j solved in any other way. It should be realized, however, that ; a thin layer of dust required can be hazardous to pets and chil dren and that it should never be applied in any manner which might result in the contamina-; tion of food." j Local seed growers have used I DDT for insect control (lygus i bug) for many years. Snakes, frogs and toads have not- been observed in seed fields of lotus, alfalfa and clover previously treated with DDT. Fish are eas ily killed by light dilutions of DDT in the water. In 1950, C. C. Hoover leased seed producing lotus, alfalfa and clover fields in the-Table Rock area that were known to be in fested with rattlesnakes. DDT sulfur dust was applied to these seed producing fields for two purposes; first, to control injuri ous insect pests such as lygus : bug, spotted cucumber beetle and thrip, that definitely reduce seed yields to all legume seed crops, and second, to kill the : rattlesnakes that may be a haz ard to the people employed in harvesting, operations. No Live Snakes It is interesting to note that no live snakes were found in any of these fields from the time the first dust application was made in June until August 16, 1950, when an accidental fire burned over the upper Table Rock area. Hoover recommends that DDT be formulated with dusting sul fur for more rapid action on both injurious insects, as well as snakes. DDT sulfur dust was ap plied in this case by airplanes. Pope Would Exchange Views With UN Head Vatican City (U.R) A Vati can source said Friday Pope Pius XII would be glad to exchange views on the world situation, with United Nations Secretary general Dag Hammarskjold. The authoritative source ex pressed pleasure over Ham marsj old's statement in . New York Thursday that he was fly ing to Rome Saturday and "would like very much to see the Pope if opportunities pre sent."' . , Small homestead or garden areas might well be protected by ap plying a dust boundary trail by means of a hand duster.
