Consider the delay differential equation

where α(t) and β(t) are positive, periodic, and continuous functions with period w > 0, and m is a nonnegative integer. We show that this equation has a positive periodic solution x*(t) with period w. We also establish a necessary and sufficient condition for every solution of the equation to oscillate about x*(t) and a sufficient condition for x*(t) to be a global attractor of all solutions of the equation.
