Extension Will Tench Proper Use of Pesticides There are bountiful water resources in Yancey, but they quickly are polluted by various foreign materials. Ex tension will be placing em phasis on waste disposal tech niques, water management and land use planning to reduce problem sources con tributing to water pollution. There will be a continuing cooperation with other agri cultural and county agencies who have responsibility for technical assistance, budget ing and enforcement of en vironment progra ns. Soil loss and resulting sed iment problems are not con fined to agricultural lands alone, but are problems along with building sites and mining areas. Our soils will be our most effective treat - ment medium for recycling waste products if properly used. If mis-handled, how ever, polluted soil itself may become a dangerous source of pollution for sur face and ground water. The complexity and inter relatedness of tlie environ - ment make the solution to agricultural inoblenß likely to have an impact on other parts of tiie environment. Therefore, the future need for understanding of the eco system, succession and pre dator-prey systems becomes even more important. Pesticide use will b e beneficial to mankind by making possible production of more high quality food MITCHELL LEDGER to sustain a high standard of living by release labor for production of other con sumer goods. Pesticides have controlled hoiaehold pests and s aved lives throijji near eradication ofsome diseases. Pesticide use sta tistics are often overlooked or mis-quoted. Agricultur al use of pesticides accourts for only 51% of total vol ume. Private citizens, the homeowners and industry use the remaining 49%. Th: County Extension Service will fulfill the educational obligation to inform county people of the proper us e , storage, and disposal of pesticides and chemicals.
