Vol. 97 No. 18

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Testing Efficiency of New Insecticide.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will have the efficiency of gammexane (Pharmaceutical Journal, March 17th 1945) tested with a view to popularising its insecticidal properties in Ireland, if the tests prove satisfactory.

Trials are this year being carried out by my Department with a view to ascertaining the value of gammexane as an insecticide in the case of several farm and garden crops.

May we expect that the results of the trials envisaged under the Minister's answers to questions Nos. 8 and 9 will be published in the Department's report?

At an early date?

As soon as we have any substantial results.
