That's one reason you need Surfix® spreader/ sticker. Surfix keeps your pesticide on the leaf, through wind and sun and rain. It forms a bond between droplet and leaf surface that resists washoff. Surfix can improve your spray ap plication under most conditions. It reduces the evaporation of spray drop lets, sticks droplets onto the leaf sur face and spreads those droplets for more uniform coverage. Surfix contains more active ingre dients than most other spreader/ stickers ... one-third more than most competitors. This means it takes less Surfix to do the job. yearling was consigned by Fidelity Holsteins, owned by Steve Hoover of Martinsburg.

(HELENA) HELENA CHEMICAL COMPANY 5100 Poplar Avenue, Suite 3200, Memphis, TN 38137, 901/761-0050 READ AND FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 3,1986-A33 Farmers hit by Heptachlor eligible for WASHINGTON, D.C. - Dairy farmers facing losses from hep tachlor-contaminated feed may soon be eligible for indemnity payments, Agriculture Secretary Richard E. Lyng announced today. The administration has requested an emergency sup plemental appropriation that would provide direct financial assistance to help dairy farmers through this disaster, he said. The funds would be distinguished through USDA’s dairy indemnity program, which USDA intends to extend to these farmers. Interim final rules for this action will be published next week in the Federal Register. In mid-March Lyng dispatched an emergency dairy con tamiriStion task force to conduct an on-the-spot assessment of the pesticide contamination in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.

The administration has requested a $6 million package to fund the dairy indemnity program. “We urge the Congress to act quickly on this request,” said Lyng. More than 50 dairy herds remain under quarantine. Milk from the cows cannot be sold, and financial losses to farmers are threatening their operations, he said. Dairy products have been recalled in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. “The limit for heptachlor in milk is 0.1 parts per million, but some farms have over 10 parts per million in their milk,” Lyng said. “It may take anywhere from a few months to as long a two years before a dairy herd is ‘clean’ and free of heptachlor contamination.” According to Lyng, farmers with contaminated herds should file claims now with their county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office. This early filing process with expedite payments to producers upon congressional passage of the full funding request, he said. On March 21, USDA authorized credit assistance to the stricken dairy farms. The Farmers Home Administration loans were an nounced as an iterim measure until the administration could complete its review of the direct economic losses in the three-state area and determine how the estimated losses could be ac commodated in the federal budget.
