Abstract
Weekly applications of DDT at the rate of 0.1 1b. per acre for 17 weeks had no effect on the bird population of a selected area as compared with a control area during the breeding season. There was no detectable effect on cotton rat or house mouse population or on cottontail rabbits or racoons.Keywords
