Description

William B. Mabee, an entomologist with the United States Department of Agriculture, examines a handful of dead locusts in the desert area of Pakistan where locusts breed. Mr. Mabee directed a Point Four program conducted jointly by the governments of Pakistan and the United States to control a locust plague. Control measures consisted of aerial spraying of insecticide and hand-spreading poisoned bait.
