Excerpt of letter from Huckins to Carson
The mosquito control plane flew over our small town last
summer. Since we live close to the marshes we were treated to
several lethal doses, as the pilot criss-crossed over our
place....We consider the spraying of active poison over
private land to be a serious aerial intrusion.
Air spraying where it is not needed or wanted is inhuman,
undemocratic, and probably unconstitutional. For those of us
who stand helplessly on the tortured earth, it is intolerable
(Sterling, pp. 147-148).
