N.E. Weed Society holds annual meeting
PHILADELPHIA - The City o
Brotherly Love played host to the
35th Annual Northeastern Weed
Science Society meeting when
more than 300 participants
gathered recently at the
Philadelphia Sheraton.
The three-day meeting focused
on 147 scientific papers, presented
m separate sessions including
Agronomy; Ecology, Physiology
and Soils; Industry, Forestry and
Conservation; Ornamentals and
Turf A special Biological Weed
Control Symposium featured
speakers from USDA and Abbott
Research Center discussing the
use of insects and plant pathogens
for weed control
President Garry Schnappmger,
of Ciba-Geigy, opened the general
session by relating what weed
scientists can do to “get involved”
in the defense of agricultural
chemicals.
Keynote speaker Jack D. Early,
president of the National
Agricultural Chemicals Assn,
followed with a review of his
organization’s action plan to
combat overregulation on behalf of
the chemical industry.

Imagine using your bulk tank to produce hot water This unique, energy
recovery device does just that by simply transferring latent refrigerant heat to
cold water Here’s how it works Salvager is installed between the compressor
and condenser of your bulk tank's refrigerant system Superheated refriger
ant gas flows from the compressor through a jacket surrounding an insulated,
glass-lined water storage tank
The result hot water, produced at no extra energy cost, by salvaging other
wise-wasted heat from your compressor
Salvager can operate as a single or dual unit condenser and can be ganged
to handle unusually large condensing loads Get the details from Agway
Then put the Salvager to work in your milkhouse and start saving money on
water heating bills
