During 1947 studies were con ducted in several western forest areas during which ddt in quan tities of 1 to 10 pounds to an acre and the gamma isomer of benzene hexachloride in quantities of 1 and 2 pounds to an acre were ap plied by airplane. The Size of treated areas varied from small experimental plots of 25 acres to one that included more than 400, 000 acres. An experimental aerial treatment of a forest area near Beltsville, Md., was made, using a dosage of 5 pounds of ddt to an acre; and a 1-mile section of a West Virginia bass stream was treated experimentally with a dosage of 1 pound of ddt to an acre.
