Increasing pressures are being
brought against livestock producers
as well as educational, regulatory,
and service agencies concerning
odor control (a most difficult
problem to deal with). The
problem most often consists of
neighbor complaints agains what
they believe to be excessive odors
originating from production
facilities, waste treatment systems,
or land application as a result of
poor site selection, system design,
or management practices. Odor
levels cannot be accurately
measured; therefore odors are
subjective and are not always
detectable or equally offensive to
all observers. Therefore, livestock
producters must be aware of the
best management practices for
odor control and guidelines and
local ordinances which might
apply to livestock facility location.

Heat stress is an important
factor to keep in mind this time
of the year. Reproductive
problems such as lower conception
rates, smaller litter size, failure to
breed back after weaning, and
others have been observed on
many farms during hot weather
breeding. With these problems
facing us during the hot months
it is important to keep our
breeding stock as comfortable as
possible in order to prevent them
from occurring and maximize our
operation to the fullest the whole
year round.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT SELECTING GARDEN
INSECTICIDES
From time to time garden pests
build up to damaging levels and
control with pesticides becomes
necessary. Pesticides properly used
are valuable gardening aids; mis
used pesticides may harm you, your
family, your vegetables and the
environment. Pesticides that con
trol insects are called insecticides.
Most garden insecticides have
CAUTION labels and are safe for
home garden use as long as the
gardener follows directions and
uses common sense.
Not all CAUTION insecticides
are intended for garden use. Some
household insecticides may contain
oil which will injure plants even
though the active ingredients are
the same as a garden insecticide.
Read the directions - if an insecti
cide can be used on vegetables, it
will say so on the container's label.
Garden insecticides may be pur
chased in several FORM
ULATIONS such as DUST.
EMULS1F1 ABLE CONCEN
TRATES (liquid). WETTABLE
POWDERS, or GRANULES.
Dusts are finely ground powders
that are ready-to-use when pur
chased. The concentration of insec
ticide in a dust is low. usually less
than 15 percent.
Emulsiflable Concentrates and
Wettabl* Powders must be diluted
and thoroughly mixed with water
before use. Several types of spray
ers are suitable for application of
the diluted insecticides.
Granules are dry sand-like par
ticles that contain a low percentage
of insecticide. Purchased ready-to
use. GRANULAR INSECTI
CIDES are occasionally used to
control insects in or on the soil.
Home gardeners do not need a
wide variety of insecticides to
achieve satisfactory insect control.
One or two carefully chosen mater
ials are usually sufficient. Malath
ion and Sevin are the two most
popular garden insecticides be
cause they are safe and both will
control many garden pests. Sevin,
also known as Carbaryl, works well
on most "worms" (caterpillars) and
beetles but is ineffective against
aphids (plant lice). Sevin is also
toxic to honey bees and other
pollinators.
Malation controls aphids and
gives acceptable control of most
other garden pests if the tempera
ture is above 65 degrees F.
- Treat only infested crops - not
your entire garden.
- Avoid treating crops that are in
bloom; treat crops near dusk to
protect insect pollinators.
- Treat your garden on calm
days. Be sure to treat your garden,
not your neighbor's.
