More than 400 persons, includ ing legislators, conservationists, farmers, scientists, and represen tatives of chemical and indus trial interests exchanged infor mation and opinions during the three-day conference. "We educated ourselves and the public," said Dr. James M. Witt. OSU extension agricultur al chemist, and one of the plan ners of the meeting. Dr. Paul O. Ritcher, chairman of the OSU entomology depart ment, said "People of all points of view, all disciplines, aired the sublect in a constructive way; based on facts not feelings," after attending the conference. Although few new problems were uncovered, participants were exposed to the details of existing difficulties. The effects of pesticide residues on birds, fish, and mammals, as well as the need for continued pest con trol programs were documented by researchers, who came from all parts of the U. S. to attend the symposium. In regard to the proposed ban of DDT in Oregon and other states, Witt felt that many of the persons who would be in volved in such decisions were represented at the conference, and went away "Much more in formed as to the problems, needs, and alternatives." One of the alternatives dis cussed was that of biological, rather than chemical pest con trol. Dr. Witt said that much of the research being conducted is aimed at niiaing "natural" crop protection methods. He added that by cultivating large areas of farmland, man has strayed far from what is natur al, and provided a smorgasbord for certain Insects. "If you're looking for ecolog ical balance of nature, what you need to throw away is not the pesticides, but the plow," Witt said. "Integrated control in telligent use of both chemical and biological agents will probably be the answer." Proceedings of the symposium, which Include the scientific pa pers presented and the summary and evaluation are available from the OSU Environmental Health Science Center. r "II JUL nn j ,1 i i i i ii When you switch to Shell Furnace Oil and Stove Oil.

Safe and Fun Halloween Make Halloween a safe night for youngsters by clearing steps and porches of toys and other objects which might cause falls, warns the Morrow county exten sion service. Masks and dark ness makes familiar territory hard enough to navigate with out additional obstacles. If the back yard clothes line is sagging, now is a good time to put it in place. Turn on porch lights so that "trick-or-treaters" can find their way. Also to prevent falls, parents should be sure that costumes are not too loose or too long and that shoes fit properly. When buying costumes, check for a flame-proof label. Home made outfits may be flame Droofed. Ask the county exten sion office for a free bulletin which tells how to treat fabrics.
