DDT Kills Flies But Not Instantly
Iowa State College entomologist Harold Gunderson explains DDT kills flies by attacking the nervous system, taking minutes to hours. It acts as both contact and stomach poison, gradually paralyzing insects. He urges evaluating by the absence of live flies and notes aging, dirt, or rubbing off reduce effectiveness. good sanitation plus prudent DDT use controls flies, but neither alone suffices.

Oats Yields in County Affected by Blast and Blight
The Farm Bureau notes oat kernels fail to fill in hot or cold, with outer glumes white or blasted. This is a physiological condition, not a parasite, and seed from affected fields can be replanted safely. Rust and Helminthosporium blight hit many townships. seed treatment helps but yields remain below resistant types. switch to Clinton or Benton varieties, Clinton seed should cover most acreage. Harvesting begins soon, Clinton fields to wait until next month.
