Government bans use of DDS Effective January 1st, the use of the insecticide common- ly known as DDT, will be il- legal in Ontario. Health Min= aster Thomas Wells stated that his department is imposing the ban because experts feel there LI conclusive evidence that the insecticide is adversely affect- ing wildlife and fish and there is some indication that human health is also being endangered. laze of DDT will be permit - ted in special cases « such as on tobacco farms, but only after. a permit has been issued- by the Department of Health. It will no longer be available to the ordinary -householder for use in his flowerbeds or garden, The health minister said that he expected the regulations will reduce the use of the insecticide to about 80% of its p resent level. At present about 300, - 000 pounds of the material is used in Ontario each year. In Ottawa Federa.l Health Minister John Munro said the; federal govemment is taking no action against the use of the in- secticide on the basis of danger to life or health. He said samp- lings (presumably carried out by his department) showed aver age daily intake of DDT was no more than five per cent of the World Health Organization's ac- ceptable level in July.. There had been no increase in that level during the six -to -eight- year period in which vegetable and animal samplings were made across the country, said Mr. Munro. Federal studies of DDT levels in food and' body .. had shown "no cause for alarm." Federal attention centres on danger, to human lifeandhealth,, and Mr. Munro said his infor- !nation is that the human body eliminates .DDT. faster than an- imals do. • ESTABLISHED IN .1936 We specialize in a complete line of FARM EQUIPMENT McGAYIN'S FARM EQUIPMENT Sales and Service — WALTON, ONT.

The quality was quite good even though t h e leaves were turning brown due to a lack of, moisture. Last week -end's rain was too late to help the ensilage corn, but may help the picking corn. A great deal of winter wheat has been sown and some is up. Our recent rains will add to the soil moisture, helping the regrowth of the hay and pasture fields. The rains should also soften the ground so that more fall plowing can be done.
