Certainly Lasso plus
atrazine gets rid ol
crabgrass in corn.
And a lot of other
grasses and broadleafs.
If crabgrass has been particularly
tough to keep out of your corn,
maybe you should consider a dif
ferent herbicide. Like Lasso plus
atrazine.
Tank mixing Lasso plus atrazine
controls that crabgrass. Plus a host
of other grasses and broadleafs:
giant foxtail, fall panicum, smart
weed, pigweed, and lambsquar
ters.
Lasso plus atrazine lank mix for
corn: One trip through the field
gets both grasses and broadleafs
even crabgrass.
That's what you

Penn Manor Community Club
Elects new Game Leader
The senond meeting of the
Penn Manor Community Club
was held at the Ann Letort
School.
The feature of the meeting was
a film which showed insects and
how to control them. The
business followed.
Committee Sets Goals for
Environ merit Improvement
State and Federal officials
have identified general priority
objectives for improving
agricultural and forestry en
vironments through coordinated
research and extension efforts.
Three areas to receive in
creased attention soon are:
—lmproved techniques and
methods of applying chemicals to
reduce runoff and pollution.
—Establishing guidelines to
control animal wastes on feedlots
and farms, and
—Collecting data needed to
register safe and effective
pesticides for use on specialty
crops grown on smaller areas.
The development of a
cooperative effort in these areas
has been agreed on by a coor
dinating committee which
represents the nation’s Land
Grant Universities, the En
vironmental Protection Agency
(EPA), and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA). Dr. John
L. Buckley, EPA, and Dr. David
J. Ward, USDA, serve on the
committee, the latter as
executive officer.
One of the first actions will be
to identify areas where
cooperative research is needed,
officials said. They also will
compile and improve existing
guidelines, and get this in
formation to appropriate
audiences.

Now the promises of gar

true, it’s time to reap the
goodness of fresh vegetables
from back yard or grocery
and bring more, and more im

To make salads into satisfying
meals, add meat. Julienne

of ready-to-serve sausages and
other cold cuts give substance
to a salad. So, too, do strips

Regarding better techniques
for applying chemicals, com
mittee officials explained that
there are several measures
already in limited use.
These include applying ultra
low-volume pesticides to hold
down pollution, foams to keep
pesticides in place and soil and
vegetation practices that help
keep fertilizers in place The
committee seeks to improve
these and other techniques and to
get such information to people as
well as data on the best time of
year to apply pesticides, the
effect of drainage and ground
cover on runoff, and other fac
tors.
Existing guidelines aimed at
control of animal wastes on
feedlots and farms need to be
greatly improved, officials said.
Factors to be considered include
storage of solid wastes during
winter when there would be
runoff if wastes were scattered
around the feedlot or farm, how
often feedlots should be cleaned
and best techniques for doing the
job; location of surface drainage
and filtration of differing soil
types.
There are a number of less
persistent chemicals that might
be used on certain specialty
crops, but they have not been
registered for such with EPA
because the companies do not
consider it economically feasible
to carry out the tests necessary
for registration.
The amount of pesticides they
could sell to treat small, specialty
crop areas just doesn’t make it
worthwhile from the economic
standpoint, officials explained.
To overcome this obstacle, the
Universities, USDA and EPA
jointly will consider ways to
carry out the necessary research
that would enable registration of
safe products for commercial
use.
