Malvern Man Mistakenly Takes Wife’s Pills
This week in Mills County reports a Malvern man who, after doubting his dose, swallowed his wife's pills. He joked that years of pills have him rattling when he walks. Elm trees in Malvern suffer with an infestation of vasuring worms damaging several trees. Extension Director La Verne Obrecht advises spraying with DDT or Malaathion solution to control but notes the elms will not be destroyed, though defoliation weakens them against future disease.
