Trash Clean-Up
Forests and Waters Secretary
Maurice K. Goddard today
urged all state citizens “to clean
up trash and debris along all

Secretary Goddard said "good
housekeeping practices” would
“go a long way” toward pre
venting a rash of woods blazes

Forest Crews
Fight Fires
With Fertilizer
HARRISBURG Strange as
it may seem, the State Depart
ment of Forests and Waters
has been very successful in us
ing a liquid fertilizer as a fire
letardant over the past sev
eral yeais.
B M Coy, a foi ester in the
Forest Piotection Division of
the department has written an
article for the Forest Service’s
publication, Fire Control Notes,
in which he explains how the
retardant is utilized.
A file ictardant, in its sim
plest action, renders a com
bustible just about non-com
bustible Basically, the fertiliz
er used by the department is
ammonium salts
The retardant is mixed in
varying quantities in the wa
ter —the mixture runs from
five of water to one of re
tardant, to ten of water to one
•f retardant.
“Smokechaser” crews can
pack five gallons of the mix
ture on their backs in pumper
tanks and head for a point at
which they want to halt the
spread of flames
The mixture is also put into’
air attack planes that sweep
ever forests dropping the liq
uid at designated targets of
fire. The department uses
planes that can carry up to
1,600 gallons for smothering
blazes.
A fleet of fire-fighting ve
hicles carrying large tanks can
also transport the retarding
mixture swiftly to appropriate
fire control points.
Addition of retardant to wa
ter increases its effectiveness,
since, once the water evapor
ates the fire will continue, but
the retardant remains in the
potential fuel until weathered
or leached away.

Phosphamidon
Phosphamiftan. actually hunts pests down on
to plants. It kills them wherever they’re hidm
under the curl of a leaf - in the crevice
stalk.
This is because Phosphamidon doesn’t kill by
tact alone. It's absorbed by the foliage and
through the entire upper part of the plant
That means it kills hidden insects other
miss. Phosphamidon gets rid of Colorado
beetles, (even the resistant ones) as well
beetles, leaf hoppers and all four kinds of
that attack potatoes,
and schools.
