Crisis of PESTICIDES in AGRICULTURE - Eugene M Walter & Dale L Schurter - 1970

Eugene M Walter & Dale L Schurter

The good earth is under siege. Its crops are being attacked by increasing myriads of insects. Fighting back is man. His weapons - a bristling arsenal of more than 50,000 commercial chemicals. How did it happen? Is there no way out of this unending struggle? "Chemical warfare" is a fact of life. It is, today, man's last arsenal against crop- destroying insects. These chemicals affect not only insects but man himself. They affect everyone - and that includes you. No matter who you are or where you live, you consume, in your food, pesticides originally meant for insects. And you carry these chemicals around in your body. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
