EPA restricts pesticide uses
NEWARK, Del., - The
U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (E.P.A.)
has recently classified
certain uses of 36 pesticides
for restricted use, and has
proposed such classification
for 18 others.
The E.P.A. classifies a
pesticide “for restricted
use” when the agency
decides the directions on the
label are not sufficient to
protect humans or the en
vironment from barm if the
chemical is used by un
trained hands. Only certified
applicators are permitted to
use such restricted products.
Persons who need to use
pesticides may undergo
special training to become
certified applicators. In
Delaware about 1800
growers are certified as
private applicators, and
about 400 persons are cer
tified as commercial ap
plicators.
Amond the pesticide uses
classified for restricted use
are: liquid formulations of
Laundering tips
make easier
wash day
MEDIA - New miracle
machine-washable synthetic
fibers have made wash days
a lot easier, according to ex
perts, but just a few launder
ing mistakes can be very
costly. To help you avoid
these mistakes, here are
some laundering tips.
Absolute no-no’s - No Levis
mixed with delicate fabrics.
-Don’t jam everything into
one wash load. Clothes need
room to move and flex in the
tub.
-Don’t mix dark colors
with whites, unless you’re
really fond of the “dingy
gray” shade.
-Don’t pour bleach or
fabric softener directly onto
clothing in the washer.
Direct contact with bleach
can cause white splotches on
your colored items and holes
in others. Direct contact

Nemacur granules-with ten
percent or greater con
centrations; Dyfonate
granules with five percent or

Monitor liquids containing 40
percent or greater con
centrations; greenhouse
with fabric softeners can
leave colored blobs on white
clothing.
Absolute Do’s - Sort and
separate clothing items by
color, fabric and weight.
-Pre-treat stains before
washing.
-Do use enough detergent.
Follow the manufacturer’s
suggestions on the package.

be sure to check labels on
pesticide products.

Register, which is available
in many libraries. The list of
classified uses appears on
pages 45131-45133, while the
proposed list appears on
pages 45218-25224. The

proposed classification ends
