Lindane Emerges as Potent New Insecticide
A newly marketed product named Lindane offers high potency, with about four times the kill power of DDT and lower human toxicity. It can be applied as dusts, powders, liquids, or as a fumigant, affecting pests by contact, vapor, or stomach action. It targets over 70 pests, protects fabrics and carpets, and reportedly leaves no milk, meat, or eggs tainted when used in dairy or poultry settings.

Fall Is a Good Time to Work Soil
Fall is a good time to improve garden soil so it will grow. Begin before heavy rains by removing finished plants and spading the plot. Wet the area, then turn soil deeply and roughen the surface for a week. Check for pests and apply soil fumigants if needed. Add compost and top dress, water well for a rich spring yield.
