Canadians battle the Spruce Budworm in New Brunswick

The video discusses an air war against a budworm epidemic in southeastern Canada's timberland. Planes spray 200,000 acres in New Brunswick with DDT to combat the insect threatening millions of dollars worth of trees. The operation, reminiscent of actual war, involves months of preparation and is effective for a limited time. The goal is to protect valuable timber, including newsprint production, from destruction by the budworm.
