Subject: Re: Malarial Mosquitoes
The long-term efficacy and safety of using any pesticide for malarial
mosquito
control can be enhanced by understanding the vector's behavior.
Malarial mosquitoes require two bites to transmit the disease, the first on
a
diseased individual and the second on an uninfected individual. After the
first
feeding the mosquito must rest while it is consuming the blood. In homes
the
mosquitoes (at least those in Central America) generally rest on the upper
part
of the walls, just below the ceiling.
Concentrating the pesticide there will maximize control of the disease,
minimize dangers to non-target organisms, and reduce the probability of the
mosquito developing resistance.

Subject: " Get Out Or Get Big Butz "
Awhile back it was former USDA Secretary John Block hyping genetically
manipulated agriculture and badmouthing organic activists who refused to
allow
GMO technology in organic agriculture.
This week's Iowa Farmer Today has published Earl Butz's response to those
who
call for a reasessment of the Fredom To Farm Act ( 1996 Farm Bill). Earl
wants
to yammer about free markets being the solution to the ag crisis, but he
can't
control himself and wanders off into this diatribe:
"The higher the degree of government involvement in pricing and marketing,
the
deeper the economic pit in which the commodity wallows. Add to this the
rising
political muscle of the ecologists, the pure-water boys, the "safe food"
lobby, the organic farmer, the animal rights groups, the conservation
fraternity, the consumer activist, and we have our work clearly cut out for
us."
Earl, I do hope you are the one who is going to do a lot of that work.
Thanks
for springing out of your long retirement to do battle with them "pure
water
boys" and those pesky consumers. The sooner you roll up your sleeves and
start
putting out more of that sort of nonsense the better. Thanks for
acknowledging
our power and in laying bare your own stupidity in one sentence. With
enemies
like you, who needs friends? Earl, read my lips: " Game Over" .
You lose. What's got you so riled at them "conservation fraternity" folks?
You
mean the NRCS? Or the Sierra Club? I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but
even you are part of the ecology, albeit one of the more ridiculous
cultivars
which, for some "reason" seemingly responsible journalists want to give a
platform to.
What you got agin me, Mr. Butz?" Us organic farmers are as free market as
you
can get. Don't get no check-off help, don't get no crop insurance, don't
get
much help from the fellers at university. And on top of that, if you spray
your freaking chlorothalonil next to me, I am the one that has to move over
twenty five feet. How about you all move over, Butz?
Old "Get Out Or Get Big Butz" they used to call him down in Lafayette. Twas
a
self-fulfilling prophecy, and you did everything you could to assure that
agri-culture became agri-business. Exactly how big do we have to get?
Maggie's
Farm will look pretty awful one day. All the clones will be hustling
twinkies
and plastic to one another in the metro, while the only thing in the
country
will be Theme Parks, Livestock Facilities, Dumps and Desert.
What's got you so pushed out of shape, Mr. Secretary? You haven't been
getting
newsclips from London on what's going down with your technofarm policy's
latest big bad mistake, now, have you? Best you be putting that head of
yours
back in the sand where it belongs.

Subject: Highly Recommended New Book on Growth Issues
Members of this listserve concerned about farmland loss to development
may find interesting a new book that I just read. It is BETTER NOT
BIGGER, by Eben Fodor. Its subtitle is: How to Take Control of Urban
Growth and Improve Your Community, and its publisher is New Society
Publishers. Fodor has been involved in what some would call cutting-edge
research on whether growth pays. According to the cover, "If you have had
enough of endless growth, and want to do something about it, then BIGGER
NOT BETTER ... is the resource you've been looking for."
This is a practical, 150-page small softcover book written in a
readable,
succinct style. Its subject is taking control of urban growth and
improving your community, just as its subtitle indicates. It has the
potential to help in farmland and open space preservation work indirectly
because of its practical, to-the-the-point advice on growth management.
One interesting chapter refutes 12 statements that the author calls
myths
of growth (growth is inevitable, we have to grow to provide jobs, etc.).
I found this section particularly useful. Another chapter is "Putting the
Brakes on Growth--What Works." Chapter 6 briefly addresses land
conservation techniques and has some case studies.
Fodor, who lives in Oregon, has excellent credentials, including a
Master's degree in urban and regional planning. Some consider him to be
one of the Northwest's leading researchers on the impacts of urban growth.
His main work now is as a public interest community planning consultant
(not in development) doing growth management consulting, impact analysis
of development, and planning for sustainable communities.
The book sells for $14.95 and can probably be ordered through your
local
bookstore. It can also be
ordered directly from New Society Publishers (800-567-6772) for that
price, plus shipping and handling charge,or visit them on the web at:
http://www.newsociety.com . Volume discounts are available.

Create a Crop'
Over the past five years, farmers in the northern plains states have
battled
the weather and crop diseases. Wheat and barley scab, sunflower midge and
potato blight have hit farmers hard throughout the region. The Flood of
1997 took its toll in the Red River Valley.
Federal crop insurance benefits progressively worsened because they were
based on a ten-year crop production average. Farmers can't get bank loans
because they no longer can get crop insurance. Disaster programs were
phased out by the 1996 "Freedom to Farm" bill.
An innovative program was unveiled this morning to aid farmers in the
northern plains. "Create A Crop" is an Internet page set up to allow
farmers to help farmers.
"Create A Crop" is a creation of the local Rural Recovery Task Force, which
is made up of flood recovery personnel, county extension educators, county
commissioners in 12 counties in northwestern Minnesota and the University
of
Minnesota Crookston. "Create A Crop is designed to help Upper Midwest
farmers who can't get Farm Service Agency operation loans," says Kay Hegge,
Flood Recovery Coordinator of the Northwest Regional Development
Commission.
Hegge, one of the designers of Create A Crop explains the web page outlines
the plight of the Red River Valley farmers. "In order to save their farms,
they need donations, everything from cash, seed, fertilizer, fuel, feed,
chemicals, labor, custom combining, equipment, and transportation," Hegge
says. The web page includes information on how to take a donation.
Farmers
taking assistance can also apply through the World Wide Web.
The website address is http://outreach.crk.umn.edu/cr8crop.
"This is the first time a farm assistance program of this type has been
initiated in this area," Hegge says. The concept of Create A Crop is
loosely based on the One Good Cow program introduced last spring in
Montana.
Ranchers donated "one good cow" to help others whose herds were decimated
by
blizzards, storms, and floods.
Hegge hopes that Create A Crop will have a wider ranging impact on
agriculture in the Red River Valley. "One of the goals of Create A Crop is
to encourage the use of alternative crops such as neutraceuticals, alfalfa,
corn, canola, crambe, flax, rapeseed, grain sorghum, oats, soybeans,
organic
soybeans, edible beans, field peas, sugar beets, safflower and
midge-resistant varieties of sunflowers. Buckwheat and cultivated mustard
can be planted as late and June 15.
Any of these seeds and related needs could be donated and distributed to
farmers," she says. For those who have planted already using their bank
cards, Create a Crop could Finish the Crop. Transportation and handling
details for the donations are still being worked out.
Hegge emphasizes that immediate action is needed if Create A Crop is going
to benefit farmers this year. "Because of the relatively short growing
season, it's vital that farmers get their crop in by May 30," she says. All
donations to Create A Crop are tax deductible.
For more information on Create A Crop, call Kay Hegge toll-free at (877)
cr8-crop or
e-mail at khegge@nwrdc.org or the Northwest Regional Development Commission
at 218-745-6733.

Subject: Re: Edna's Post, County Agents, and Using Natural Products
Okay, here's my somewhat limited understanding:
You can use just about whatever the heck you want on your crops (personal
use or commercial...sad but true) But, you can't sell a product as having
pesticidal, herbicidial, etc'cidal effects unless you get it registered
with the epa.
OTOH, if you're a commercial grower you can run into trouble using just
anything on your crops if that just anything produces in the crop (food
being the central concern) an unacceptable level of residue for some
chemical....O' course there are lots of technical loopholes and practical
loopholes (e.g., just what is it NOT getting tested for?)
So, for the baking soda example: If it's not registered for use for
podwery mildew control then you can't sell it as such. Incidentally, I
believe your intentions in selling it can be held against you...e.g.
you're selling it in such a way as to encourage fungicidal use though
you don't *directly* encouargae such use...Anyhow, You can use it,
give it to your neighbor, tell your local watermelon grower about it...
Now, suppose the watermelon grower uses it and their watermelon comes up
with X ppm NaCl in the tissue (getting tasty? :-)and suppose the allowable
tolerance for NaCl is X-2 ppm...now the watermelon grower's got trouble.
(Please note the abundant use of conditionals: if's and supposes...the
if's and supposes for the sake of argument/explanation so beloved by
philosphers such as me...That is, this example is purely fictious and is
not based on any knowledge about sodium bicarbonate or the us
gubnerment:-)
That's my incomplete and muddled understanding of the situation (which
happens to come from dinner conversations with my mother who has worked
in the 'cide sides of the EPA since Jimmy Carter got elected...back when I
was but a pubsescent nuisance :-) and the EPA was but a young offshoot of
the big mothership the USDA....
And, you know dinner conversations are only worth so much...not to be
quoted as the book....But, that is what your gubnerment is for...Write 'em
and ask 'em. They'll be happy to talk about all their infinitely baroque
regulations...your eyes might get glazed, but then again you might find it
interesting.

Subject: unregistered pesticide products
Her eare some relevant California statutes & regulaitons on sales & use of
"unregistered pesticides".
Food and Agriculture Code, Section 12753. "Pesticide" includes any of the
following:
(a) Any spray adjuvant.
(b) Any substance, or mixture of substances which is intended to be used
for defoliating plants, regulating plant growth, or for preventing,
destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, as defined in Section
12754.5, which may infest or be detrimental to vegetation, man, animals, or
households, or be present in any
agricultural or nonagricultural environment whatsoever.
Section 12993. It is unlawful for any person to manufacture, deliver, or
sell any pesticide or any substance or mixture of substances that is
represented to be a pesticide, or to retail any formula for a pesticide in
conjunction with the sale or gift of materials that are represented to be
the essential ingredients necessary to constitute a pesticide, which is not
registered pursuant to this chapter, or for which the registration has been
suspended or canceled, except as provided in regulations adopted by the
director or as provided in the notice or order of suspension or
cancellation. This section, however, does not apply to any pesticide
product of a registrant that is manufactured solely for export outside this
state, and which is so exported.
FAC Section 12995. Except as provided in regulations adopted by the
director or as provided in the notice or order of suspension or
cancellation, it is unlawful for any person, by himself or herself or
through another, to possess or use any pesticide that is not registered
pursuant to this chapter, or for which registration has been suspended.
California Code of Regulations
Section 6145 A substance is considered to be "intended to be used," as
the phrase is used in Sections 12753 and 12758 of the Food and Agricultural
Code, and thus be a pesticide requiring registration, when:
(a) A person who distributes or sells the substance claims, states, or
implies, by labeling or otherwise, that:
(1) The substance, either by itself or in combination with any other
substance, can or should be used as a pesticide; or
(2) The substance consists of or contains an active ingredient and
can be used to manufacture a pesticide; or
(b) A person who distributes or sells the substance has actual or
constructive knowledge that the substance will be used, or is intended by
the user to be
used, as a pesticide; or
(c) The substance consists of or contains one or more active ingredients
and has no significant commercially valuable use as distributed or sold
other than:
(1) Use as a pesticide, by itself or in combination with any other
substance; or
(2) Use in the manufacture of a pesticide.
Section 6301. Unregistered Products.
(a) Section 12995 shall not apply to an individual, who personally uses a
substance for the purpose of controlling their residence or garden pests,
provided no food or feed commodities treated with the substance are sold,
distributed, or fed to animals that are sold or distributed for human
consumption.
(b) Pesticide products whose registration has lapsed shall not be sold by
the registrant, but may be possessed and sold by a dealer for two years
after the last date of registration. If acquired while legally registered
