The following article, prepared by Joe Capizzi of Oregon State University Cooperative Ex tension Service, addresses the pesticide issue. Morrow Coun ty Extension Agent Harold Kerr urges all farmers to carefully consider the infor mation presented. If the federal government takes many widely used pesticides off the market, farmers can look forward to more crop damage and fewer pest control alternatives, and consumers can expect higher food prices. In recent years, an Environ mental Protection Agency program intended to reregis ter 35,000 pest control chemi cals has been unable to accomplish its goal. These chemicals represent about 1,400 active ingredients, inclu ding many common household pesticides, mixed with various additives (emulsifiers, wet ting agents and inert ingredi ents). Earlier registrations were often based on incomplete information with little know ledge of a chemical's effects on humans and the environ ment but now many pesticides must be re-examined and re-registered before they can be used. The Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act of 1972 gave EPA the job of re-registering these chemicals by 1976, a completion deadline they did not meet. Then a program of Rebuttable Pre sumption Against Registra tion was established to help EPA screen chemicals before I Elks Calendar !

Cultural Arts Tour Touring the Portland Art Museum, Historical Society Museum, Contemporary Crafts Gallery, and the Pit tock Mansion, provided a busy day for women and men of Morrow and Umatilla counties last week. The early depar ture of the two buses of enthusiastic tourists from Eastern Oregon provided time for a look at all four stops for passengers of one bus. Those on the other bus saw some unscheduled parts of Port land. Their bus missed Con temporary Crafts when the driver took a wrong turn to the city! (Imagine the misery of that bus driver.. .with 42 back seat drivers!) Luncheon was enjoyed by all at "The Galleria", a recently restored group of shops and restaurants in downtown Portland. A glimpse of the new mall and other restoration in the down town area was also included as the group traveled between the scheduled stops. End of the day found many tired, but happy tourists, asking for more such tours. Morrow residents on tour included: Marilyn Childers, Ruth McCabe, Birdine Tullis, re-registering them. The RPAR program pre sumes chemicals are hazard ous, classifies them for re stricted or general use, and removes the most hazardous ones from the market. The manufacturing company and others then have the chance to "rebut" or argue that the presumed hazard doesn't exist or that the benefits of using the compound outweigh the potential risk. RPAR's criteria identify toxic, carcinogenic, mutative or environmentally damaging chemicals through two-year feeding studies on rats, birds and fish. When a high dosage is administered to an animal and the animal develops a tumor or other problem, then the chemical is banned. If a harmful effect is seen at an extreme dosage level, then no use of the chemical may be permitted, even at a very low dosage. This indicates that the EPA does not recognize there is a dose at which no effect occurs. In many cases, the dosage given in laboratory tests is up to 1,000 times greater than what is normally present in food. To date the federal govern ment has approved some 2,000 pcsticiu6 products ccitt&imnr, 23 potentially hazardous in gredients for restricted use. Oregon law, which has al ready approved 56 restricted use ingredients, requires they must be sold by licensed dealers and used only by people certified through an exmination. Other restrictions include the acreages and types of crops a chemical may be used on, time of applica tion, and amounts of the chemical to be used.
