Ohio Veterinarians Told Pesticides Not Harmful
Dr. Roger Yeary told the 82nd annual Ohio Veterinary Medical Association meeting that properly used agricultural chemicals pose no public health threat. He noted pesticides cause about 5 percent of accidental poisonings by ingestion and that most fatalities involve pre-DDT substances. He said many drugs and pesticides are allowed in animal feed, with only about 10 pesticides permitted in meat and none in milk or eggs, stressing occupational exposure as the greatest hazard.

Planning a Summer Garden Lime Fertilizer and Soil Care
Gardeners should assess soil pH and lime needs to maintain a slightly acidic range between 6.0 and 6.8. Apply lime before plowing, with 5 pounds per 100 square feet every 4-5 years, adjusting for light soils. Use chemical fertilizers alongside organic amendments, applying early in beds and as broadcast fertilizer for 100 square feet. Soil testing at the Cooperative Extension Office is advised with a small fee. Prices for soybeans and corn are noted by Staley, with NFC selling programs affecting timing.
