He emphasized the state would
not construct infirmaries but will
“correlate the work of existing
clinics and agencies combatting
the disease.”
We hope to establish a well-
rounded educational program poin-

nizing symptoms and obtaining the
treatment for cancer in its early

tal uses and none has been made
available to private citizens.
“It is my understanding that no
DDT will be made available for
home or farm or garden use until
present experiments show exactly
hew and in what strength it may
be safely applied,” the Secretary
declared. “Every possible test is
being made. It is a powerful poi-
son and must be used intelligent-
ly. It cannot be swallowed, or if
oily solutions of DDT be permitted
to come into contact with the skin
it would be harmful. I have no
doubt but that eventually a safe
way will be found to use the ma-
terial on fruit trees, but until we
know how much and when to ap-
ply, none should think of using it
on any food crops.”
The State Department, through
ils Bureau of Plant Industry, is
cooperating with the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture in its
second year of experiments
DDT in Luzerne-Lackawanna gyp-
sy moth quarantine area. Elimina-
tion of the pest was obtained in a
test area last year using five lbs.
per acre, and this year, through
spraying nearly 3,000 acres of for-
est lands, it was found that only
one pound per acre gives 100 per
cent control of this pest.
Tests and observations are be-
ing conducted on the effects of
varying amounts of DDT on other
insects in the gypsy moth experi-
ments, The effect of beneficial in-
sects is being watched with special
interest. Results will not be
known for several months.

There Will Be More and More Farm
Telephone Service AFTER THE WAR
For ‘more than half a century, the telephone has
served the farmer well.
Today the number of rural telephones in the territory
we serve is at an all-time high.
After the war, even more
telephone service will be
available to even more farmers than before.
Right now, of course, the peace-time producers of
telephone instruments and central office equipment
are making electronic and communications equipment
to help our armed forces li
ck the Japs. We must wait.
Not a one of us would wish it any other way.
