EPA draws compromise on farm chemical uses
Environmental Protection Agency officials say a fair compromise has been reached on a plan requiring private pesticide applicators to be officially certified to handle designated dangerous chemicals. The program stems from 1975 amendments to federal pest control law and divides pesticides into two classes, with certification for the restricted list to be implemented by next year.

Iowans Study Birth Rates Spur Policy Ideas
University of Iowa economist Hyman Joseph reports that parental education does not affect family size or birth spacing. He plans a two year US fertility study with university funding and 22,053 dollars from the Public Service. He cites factors lowering birth rates as more women in work, economic development, and urbanization. He proposes examining tax policy effects on fertility and suggests lowering child tax deductions to influence births. EPA aims to finalize hazardous pesticide designation by October 1977 with state certification programs for farmers.
