Food and Drug Ad ministration out of Baltimore, Maryland, said today that "inspec tions will be made this year as in the past to make sure that veget ables and berries produced in the State do not carry too much resi dual of chemicals which can be harmful to consumers. " He points out that producers should heed the warning which was given last year through the exper ience of the cranberry industry when a portion of the cranberry crop was seized because of impro per use of a particular chemical. "We are trying to prevent any thing such as the cranberry situa tion from happening again," Phil lips said. "Therefore, we are urg ing farmers to be careful in their application of all chemicals on their produce." All farmers are urged to read labels on packages contaning the various chemicals and to follow in structions.

' - The evangelistic-. . services' are sponsored by the Conference Board To Be Cautious Chemicals This Year Uegetabies And Fruit time and desage are printed on the bags containing chemicals which are used for weed, insect and dis eases control. "If instructions governing appli cation are followed." Phillips said, "there will be no trouble. All of the produce will measure up to re gulations." Two examples are given with the use of Parathon in cucumbers and strawberries. In cucumbers. The material is not to be applied before vining and within 15 days of harvest. If this practice is followed, then, the cu cumbers will not contain too much residuel of parathon- and thereby pass regulations set down by law; In strawberries it is recommend ed that four-tenths of one pound per acre of parathon be used within 14 iuays 01 narvesi. n tne cnemical is appnea, mr example, within seven days of harvest, too much of the chemical will be on the berries at harvest and thus stand a chance of being rejected by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. Stress is placed upon the fact that if on? lrt of North Carolina straw berries or cucumbers or any vege table or fruit is rejected because of improper application of a chemical that the sale of the entire crop from North Carolina will be effect- tion, Banks and Currency and dur ing 1951 and 1953 headed the all im portant Appropriations Committee.

She seeks for the best for those she serves. 6. She leads for the good of the most concerned, and not for the personal gratification of her own ideas. $he has her head in the clouds but her feet on the ground.
