Farmers face pesticide dilemma
Pesticides, an integral part
of modern agriculture, are
currently the focus of a
controversy which poses cru
cial questions about the future
of our food supply. 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

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.
