Fallout is radioactive material, produc ed by a nuclear explosion, ithat falls to earth from the upper air. The course particles of this material fall close to the point of the explosion The ifine par- ticles may drift down wind for many miles some for hun dreds of miles before settling to earth. Fallout is odorless and may be as fine as invisible dust. 'Particles of radioactive fall out emit ladiattion (similar to X-rays) that can change, dam age, or destroy living cells If an area weie to be highly con taminated bv fallout, ithe rad iation could injure or kill hum an beings and animals 'Such fallout could contaminate food, water, buildings, soil, and cr ops and make them unsafe for various periods o'f time The gieatest hazard from radiation would exist during ithe first few days following a hazard would decrease with the heavy deposit of fallout 'The hazard would decrase with the materials decayed and the in tensity of radiation got lower.

Tree Suckers Need Pruning Suckers should be removed ifrom trees every spring, says Craig Oliver, Penn State ex tension ornamental horticultur ist. Suckers sprout at the base of some trees and from the limbs of others. They are dom inant in maples and fruit trees. By removing suckers before they form big branches, the tree’s canopy is better aerated and its health improved. About one-third of all pig* born never reach market. Cold, drafty, wet farrowing houses cause much trouble with baby pigs.
