tin* original problem I, for one,
would much rather have DDT
in my environment than the
(ivpsy Moth, which Urn year
dcloliated 110,000 acres of trees
in my home state, compared to
1,000 acres in 1968 And m the
tiopical countries of the world.

fer DDT to the anopheles mos
quito and its burden of malaria
organisms. My Company does
not produce the persistent,
chloi mated hydrocarbon insec
ticides, but we do make com
peting products and expect to
gain from the banning of DDT,
(lii’ldnn, aldnn, etcetera
Yet. as an informed and con
cerned pm ate citizen, I must
wain that we aie moving far
too rapidly in the dneclion of
icstricting the use ol these pio
ducts befoie we have developed
others to take then place If
the missionaiy zeal of the
pseudo ecologists succeeds in
motivating governments to fin

pesticides the icsult will be

If we can be a little patient,
we will solve most of om en
vnonmental pioblems in the;
aiea of pesticides We began 1
yeais ago with ielatively,
simple lathei ciude chemicals

a wide vanety of life fonns The

ample is a pioduct Cyanamid is
developing called Abate, which
at prescribed dosages is specific
to the mosquito laiva Pioperly
applied to the water in which
the larva lives, it kills the lar

breaks down without haim to

water.
There will be other pioducts
of this nature Howevei they
are inherently moie expensive
than most of the pesticides on
the market today Since the

of Pesticides
The short effective life means
that they must be applied more
frequently A high degree of
specificity means that the tar
get pest must bo accurately
identified by an expert in order
to select the proper chemical.
I believe many of us are
willing to pay these inci cased
costs.
Yet, wc must be realistic. Just
because I have said today that
eventually we will develop
many highly specific pesticides
does not mean that you should
leave this room and seek an
immediate ban of the broad
spectrum pesticides currently in
use As I have tried to point
out. such action will lead to
disaster.
We can get some immediate
improvement without enduring
the long, toituous process of
developing! a new chemical,
pioving its safety and effective
ness. and getting it on the mar
ket You can stai t this improve
