ations of the nation’s 12 fed
eral land banks The year 1967

this important farm finance or
ganization, he said

the local federal land bank as

able to the use of farmers for
modernizing their facilities and
increasing their productive ca

progress, which in great part
has been founded, and contin

constructive use of credit as an
agricultuial tool, the Governor

The approval of tolerances
does not alter existing recom
mendations on the use of DDT,
which stipulate that the pesti
cide is not to be used in or
abound dauy bains or on for
age crop* intended for dairy
animals FDA’s action reflects
the fact that small amounts of
DDT are found in milk despite
these restrictions
There has been no estab
lished tolerance for DDT resi
dues in milk or milk products
up to now, but improved ana
lytical methods developed in
recent yeais have shown that
residues do exist in most milk
samples even in areas where
the use of DDT is strictly con
trolled
In its report to the FDA last
October, the advisoiy commit
tee concluded that pesticide
fiee raw milk is a practical
impossibility at the present
time because of the wide usage
of DDT and its chemical sta
bility.
“The importance of the cop
tmumg use of DDT foi the pro
duction of +ood and fiber crops
throughout the United States
is unquestioned,” the commit
tee said “Thus the establish
ment of a finite tolerance would
be a realistic step and it would
recognize and legalize an exist
ing unavoidable situation It
would not constitute appioval
for additional uses ot this in
secticide ”
The committee also conclud
ed, however, that the higher
residue level.- icquested for
combinations of DDT and its
degiadation pioducts would re
qune additional evidence of
safety
