Using Poisons? Wear Protective
Clothing!
The point of using pesticides and
other toxic substances is to kill the
unwanted creatures or diseases on
your plants - not to harm yourself!
Yet the drift and spills which often
accompany pesticide use may be a
hazard to your health if you aren’t
careful. Pesticides can be harmful
if consumer, absorbed through
your skin, or inhaled. Therefore,
wearing protective clothing is a
Must.
Your first line of protection is to
read the label carefully and follow
the use and protection instructions.
Then, before you put your
protective clothing on, inspect
them carefully for tears or holes -
all skin areas should be covered.
Here’s a checklist of clothes to
wear;
Shirt. The fabric should be
tightly woven, have long sleeves,
and a collar that fits snugly when
buttoned. Wear the shirt tucked
into your pants and sleeves over or
outside your gloves.
Pants. The pants fabric
should be tightly woven and pant
legs should be worn outside your
boots.
Coveralls. If you are wearing
coveralls instead of separate pants
and shirt, the same requirements
apply. They should have long
sleeves and a collar that fits
snugly. Sleeves should be worn
outside or over the gloves, and
pant legs outside or over the boots.

Gloves. Select gloves that can
be washed inside and out after
every use and that are long enough
to reach at least halfway to your
elbow, and are free from holes and
tears.
Respirator. Read the
pesticide lable carefully. Some
chemicals should only be used if
you are using a respirator. If one is
recommended, use it and
remember to change the cartridge
as necessary.
~ Boots. Select rubber or plastic
boots which can be rinsed after
each use and that are long enough
to reach at least halfway to your
knee. Keep these separate to use
only when applying pesticides.
Once you’ve finished the job,
always keep contaminated
clothing away from all others.
Wash them separately so they
don’t contaminate other clothing.
Store in a plastic container until
washing. Always shower and
shampoo your hair before putting
on other clothing. Once your
protective clothing is clean
including boots and gloves keep
them separate and use them only
when working with pesticides.
How To Shop For A
Home Mortgage
The spring house buying season
is just ahead and buyers need to be
prepared. I advise home buyers to
examine creative or flexible
mortgage loans carefully to be
sure what they’re getting is what
they can really afford.

Traditional fixed rate mortgages
are nearly a thing of the past.
Where there are available, they
usually carry higher interest rate
than do flexible rate mortgages
and they may commit borrowers to
higher total payments than they
can reasonably afford.
If you are in the market for a
home you and your lender must
agree on the financing program.
The more you know about the
basics, the more easily you will be
able to calculate the risks your
mortgage presents in the future.
The key concept to keep in mind is
affordability now and in the future.
Current financing schemes in
volve greater risks for the buyer
because payments may fluctuate
according to a financial index. The
most common indexes used are the
rate on U.S. Treasury bills or
notes, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board’s national average
mortgages contract rate, and the
average cost of funds for savings
and loans.
These reflect how much the U.S.
Treasury is willing to pay on
money it borrows, how much
people are paying on new mor
tgages nationwide, and how much
lending institutions are paying on
the money they borrow. Fluc
tuations in these rates change the
interest rate on your mortgage,
change you* monthly payments,
mortgage ienght, or principle
balance.
Ask your lender how the index
affects your payments. For
example, if the index changes
monthly, is your lender also
changing the rate on your loan
monthly? Or are there limits on the
number of times and the amount

whether you will get advance
warning of rate or payment
changes. Most current mortgages
have some built in notification
system but many do not.
Here is a list of questions to ask
so that you can decide if a mor
tgage option is affordable:
What is the sales price minus
your down payment? This is the
amount you must finance.
What is the length, if maturity
of the loan you are considering?
There will be a significant cost
difference between a 30 year and a
10 year mortgage.
What is the size of your
monthly payments? For most of
us, this is the most important

figure represents more than a
quarter of your income. Once you
have added utility and insurance
costs, you could be faced with the
prospect of spending close to half
of your income on housing costs -
can you afford that?
Ask about the interest rate or
rates. Will your payments or rates
change from one month or
another?
If your payments or interest
rates change, you can your lender
give you any indication of how
often and how much?
Will your mortgage give you
