RANDOLPH — Demonstration of DDT household uses will be given before residents of Cedar county this week with the demonstration in Randolph set for Friday night, March 22, at the city auditorium.
The meetings are sponsored by the extension project clubs in the various towns and are open to the general public. Miss Gail Songer, district home agent, and R. L. Wagner, county agent, conduct the demonstrations. In addition to the demonstrations and discussion on the proper use of DDT, there will be sound movies on the control of insects and rodents which affect human health.
The new insecticide, DDT, has moved into the house to rid it of many insect pests and to safeguard the family against diseases carried by insects, according to Miss Mabel Doremus, specialist in nutrition with the agricultural extension service, Dr. M. H. Muma, extension entomologist and Dr. S. W. Alford, extension animal pathologist at the University of Nebraska college of agriculture.
People who see this demonstration will be shown how to use the various type of DDT preparations to control fleas, mosquitoes, flies, bedbugs, cockroaches, and silverfish. DDT is not a cure-all, according to Dr. Muma, but it is effective in controlling many insect pests.
