Sulfur proposed to deter birds in Frederick area
Frederick officials hear a plan by Paul Beale to use sulfur to drive roosting birds from trees rather than cutting them down. He recalls a 1974 success in Graceham and other towns, where sulfur burning in buckets frightened birds away for weeks. City crews currently use noise, and no tree cuts are planned despite the problem.

A House subcommittee approved reauthorization of the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact and a new Southeast pact. If enacted, member states would guarantee a minimum milk price above federal orders, amid producer support and opposition from grocers who warn higher prices. The vote was 7 to 3, and the bill moves to the full committee with a September review anticipated.
