USDA approves Prolate tick dip
WASHINGTON D.C. - Effective
April 14, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture will permit
organophosphate insecticides
sold under the trade name
“Prolate” to be used in dips to
eliminate ticks from cattle.
John K. Atwell, deputy ad
ministrator of USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service,
said the action is needed so the
insecticide can be used to treat
cattle before interstate shipments.
Prolate will be approved for use in
accordance with label instructions
approved by the Environmental
Protection Agency and at con
centrations of at least 0.15 percent.
This insecticide and all other
USDA permitted dips are
registered by the Environmental
Protection Agency under the

Rodenticide Act; USDA
veterinarians and field personnel
also conducted trials to determine
that the required concentrations
could be maintained and that
Prolate would be effective in
eradicating ticks.
“We have a responsibility for
ascertaining that permitted dips
fulfill the job that USDA depends
on them to do to stop the spread
of ticks,” Atwell said.
Other dips permitted by USDA to
treat livestock for ticks include
Delnav, used at a concentration of
0.125 to 0.150 percent; Co-Ral 25
percent wettable powder used at a
concentration of 0.125 to 0.250
percent; and toxaphene used at a
concentration of 0.5 to 0.6 percent.

from old favorites. Here are some
tips on caring for clothing that can
save you money.
When staining occurs, it’s im
portant to treat the problem as
quickly as you can - immediately,
if possible. It’s helpful, too, if you
know what caused the stain.
As a general rule of thumb, all
protein based stains should be
washed m cold water. Those in
clude blood, urine, egg, milk,
mayonnaise, gravy, meat juices,
baby formula, cream and ice
cream. Chocolate, fruit, wine and
soft drinks also need cool water.
Don’t be misled into thinking
there is no stain if nothing shows

once the material has dried prior
to any stain treatment. Some soft
drinks and fruit stains, including
citrus, become invisible when dry
but turn yellow with aging or
heating.
Ballpoint ink is another com
mon, and tricky problem. Washing
removes some types of ink and sets
others. Cooking oils and grease
splattered on polyester and then
laundred can label a new blouse
“old" in just one wearing.
What do you do to prevent setting
stains or removing those telltale
marks on clothes thatshow up with
age and heat? A good first step is to
check each garment for stains as
you sort clothes for laundering. An
immediate treatment with one of
the prewash products designed for
stain removal can save the
frustration and expense that
comes with a set stain.
To use, simply saturate the
affected area thoroughly prior to
laundering. Or, in the case of fine
washable woolens, use the
prewash as a localized stain

remover and, then, wash out the
spot by hand. Since garments wear
out more quickly when they are
over-laundred, this method will
both decrease wear-and-tear and
lower dry cleaning bills. And with
today’s emphasis on natural
fabrics, thosfe are important
considerations.
Perspiration stains are another
familiar factor in making good
clothes look old fast. If per
spiration has changed the color of
the fabric, you can try to restore it,
after washing, as follows; for fresh
stains, apply ammonia; for old
stains, apply vinegar. Rinse with
water.
A few other points to remember.
Black coffee stains are treated
with hot water; if you like cream
with your morning eye-opener, use
a cold wash.
Finally, don’t daydream about
how good you’ll look in your old
wardrobe while you’re touching up
those “re-newed” stain-free
garments on the ironing hoard.
