EDF NEEDS FUNDS TO FIGHT DDT IN THE COURTS 
a 
The Environmental Defense Fund, Inc. which had so much to do with the elimination 
of the use of DDT in Michigan, has more recently been conducting hearings in 
Wisconsin before the state's Department of Natural Resources to determine whether 
DDT should be banned. It presented many expert witnesses, and all would have been 
well had the National Agricultural Chemicals Association not joined the opposition. 
The problem then was that, with the hearings so long and drawn-out, EDF was running 
out of money. 
We hope that you'll want to help this great organization. Make your check payable 
‘to the Rachel Carson Memorial Fund, and send it to the National Audubon Society, 
1130 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10028. Contributions are tax deductible.
