Diverse Drug Education Needs Defy Simple Labels
Peter G. Hammond argues that broad categories trap programs in the law of least effort. He warns against simplistic black or white divides and urges nuanced discrimination of motivations for drug use across age, socio economics, and education. Generalizations erase important differences among users.
Clean Sweep Program Advances Water Quality Efforts
The Texas Water Quality Board reports progress in the Operation Clean Sweep program begun in November 1969. Through field inspections of 15 000 wastewater dischargers and 243 facilities, 64 have upgraded, 19 terminated or shifted to regional systems, and 11 were referred to the Attorney General. Fulcher notes improved receiving waters and a growing climate of responsibility, with expansion planned into West Texas and the Upper Rio Grande Valley as pollution challenges persist.

Fertilizer Key To Profits On Small Texas Pastures
Texas A M University extension agronomist Dr Neal Pratt says heavy fertilization boosts profits on small pasture acreages. A county survey shows 68 percent of pasture soils deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus, with soils often former cropland. High nutrient levels are needed for quality forage, as one ton of 12 percent crude protein grass needs about 40 pounds of nitrogen.

GM unveils experimental safety vehicle test bed
General Motors says the 50 mph barrier test ESV survived with its structure intact despite distortion. The design and test data were sent to the U.S. Department of Transportation for a nominal contract price of one dollar, with two of five passenger sedans due to DOT next October. Ernest S. Starkman, GM VP, calls the ESV a test bed for new safety concepts.

Intensive grazing boosts Texas pastures says Pratt
Pasture production declines after three to four weeks without topdress plant food. Texas long growing season requires additional applications guided by soil tests. Pratt endorses intensive grazing of one half to one acre per cow with some forage species supporting one to two cows per acre from spring to fall. Demonstrations claim intense forage production is profitable for producers.
