Mr. Antonelli further explained that under the new law, a commercial applicator is anyone who applies or supervises the application of a restricted use pesticide for any purpose to property other than his own.

Frank Steams, Regional Supervisor of the Bureau of Plant Industry, which will enforce the Pesticide Act, stated that examinations are offered in ten categories of pesticide application. He said half of the exam con cerns a general knowledge of pests, pest control, and labeling.

Dairy bill NEW CUMBERLAND - Dr. Weldon Barton, aide to Congressman Joe Vigorito (D. 24th District, Pa.) told a meeting of the Pennsylvania Farmers Union, here, last Tuesday that the dairy bill proposing an 85 per cent parity rate with quarterly adjustments is very likely to be vetoed by President Ford before the end of the week. He must do something with it by midnight, Friday, he said. However, the veto has at least a “50-50” chance of being over-ridden, Barton added. Assuming Ford does veto the bill (by the time this is off the press, he will have taken action on it), then it will go back to the Senate for reconsideration. According to Barton, who is firmly involved in the House Committee on Agriculture, and considers his superior, congressman Vigorito, to be in a “position of leadership” in agricultural committed s, the bill stands a “real chance” of being confirmed again in the Senate, where it was introduced. “The Senate must override the President’s veto first,” he explained, “and this is good because we have a better chance there and if passed it would increase chances for an override in the House.” He noted that urban votes must be picked up in the House to meet the required two-thirds majority for an override of a Presidential veto. In other comments made at the two-day convention of the Pennsylvania Farmers Union, Barton said he ex pects to see no major farm legislation during 1976. Present agricultural acts are still in effect and won’t be up for renewal until next year. YOUR DEALE JAY M.
