He states that the loss from Insects and diseases In the United States has been estimated between nine and 16 billion dol. lars annually. Some 88 million acres of farm land must be cultivated to offset this loss. IN REVIEWING THE effect of pesticides on wildlife, Dr. Arvll L.

A similar survey was made In 1960, after 15 years of DDT and other Insecticides. Some 8,928 observers found an average count of 104 robins per observer.

On the other hand, DDT has saved the lives of many millions of people by the control of lice, mosquitos, and other carriers of disease. Research by W.J. Hayes and others has shown that when 51 men were fed 35 MG of DDT per day for 18 months period, no 111 effects resulted. The DDT reached a definite level In the fat and was not accumulated beyond that level.
