Poultry and D.D.T.

Those poultry-keepers who may be looking forward to using D.D.T. for killing lice on poultry will be interested to know that American experiments show that D.D.T., even if used at up to 10 per cent strength, does not give results better than the older methods of destroying poultry lice with powders or chemicals. The trials with D.D.T. for killing body lieo on fowls were curried out by an American university. It is possible that further experimental work may bring to light better means of using D.D.T. for this special purpose. Aviation Restrictions Lifted ; The Minister of Defence (Hon. F. i Jones) said on Monday that the Government had agreed to the removal of the prohibition on civil dying which j had been in force since the war began, and had agreed also to dispose of, i through the War Assets Realisation (Board, miscellaneous light transport aircraft rcqfiisitioned from aero clubs and private owners during the war, and which were no longer required by the R.N.Z.A.F. The Minister also approved of a considerable number of Tiger Moths being reconditioned for sale to aero clubs through the Realisation Board. Aero clubs tiro not permitted to undertake air taxi work in the meantime until the New Zealand National Airways Corporation is in a position tu advise what licences, if any, should be issued for air taxi services.
