Amidst - th -current rontrovor
sy over the use of DDT and
other pesticides, tne recent ure
eon State University symposium
on the environmental impact of
noutirirfaa standi out as a rat
ional attempt to deal with a
serious problem.
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.

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.

America's consumer-owned rural electric
systems are proud of their reputation for provid
ing electric service wherever it is needed.
Recently, one electric co-op was called upon
to erect poles and string lines across two miles of
almost impassable marsh to an isolated con
sumer. Applying rural electric ingenuity, the co-op
hired a helicopter to set the 28 poles, weighing
1100 pounds each, and string the two miles of
heavy wire. What would have normally been a
five-week construction job was accomplished in
two days.
Even more important, a whole new area
has been supplied with reliable electric service.

apply for Federal Crop Insur
ance on 1970 crop, according to
the agent, Mrs. Mary K.. xvicbeoa.
This does not mean those that

surance, but only those apply
ing for the first time. It is a
continuous Insurance and Is In
efefct until cancelled, so if a
rancher was Insured In 1969 and

is continued coverage on the
1970 crops.
Anyone who was not covered
previously but now wishes to
be covered with Federal Crop In
surance for 1970 should visit the

can be met, residents of the area
electrical appliances for their farms and homes,
additional recreational facilities can be developed
for city dwellers, and our nation's program of
rural area development has taken another step
forward.
Working hard to provide service and develop
the economy of our rural areas is a basic tenet of
the rural electric tradition. Today rural electrics
serve an average of 3.3 consumers per mile of
line compared with the 33 consumers per mile of
line served by commercial power companies.
Providing these scattered consumer-members
with electric power takes extra effort and careful
management but rural electrics know it's nec
