Washington AP. Dr. P N Annand head of the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine reports progress in improved insect control through new insecticides and methods. The 1947 48 survey covers the year ended June 30 1948. DDT use for European corn borer control reduces costs in apple production and lead arsenate sprays drop. New insecticides toxaphene chlordane parathion show promise but require caution for animal safety. Breeding pests like hoppers and citrus blackfly threaten crops in regions including the Pacific Northwest and Empalmo Mexico. Portable power sprayers and farm research aid spray deployment.
