IS, 1972 Tte^s;foy. ;;ube^l5,. 1972 )' « O Gaiden Time k By M. E. GARjDNER W N. C. State University ' A regular spraying or dusting program to protect plants from the ravages of insect and dis ease peats is the best insurance you have against damage. A good slogan: use the right materials; at the right time; aiul properly mixed. Do a thor ough job of covering al! parts of the plant, esijecially the under sides of the leaves to control sucking insects such as aphids, led spiders and lace bugs. All insects have a life history or cycle. That is, they undergo changes which may occur In lour stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult; or, in three stages; egg nymph and adult. The largo anti the nymph stages are usually the most destructive, although the adult stage may also be destrue- tlve in some classes. In the case of fungus diseases, it Is necessary to keep the plants protected at all times. These diseases, represented by various leaf spots of roses, apples, grapes and many other of roses, ap ples, grapes and many other plants, produce spores. These spores germinate and attack the plant tissues. If the loaf is pro tected by a fungicide, the spores are killed before they have a chance to enter the tissues. Once' the disease gain entrance, they I are more difficult to control. ; Those simple examples should serve to show how important it is to keep your plants protected! at all times. Many people seem to think that one or two sprayings during the growing season wlU be all that is necessary. On the con trary, this battle against insects and diseases is never-ending. For this reason, it is best to follow a regular spray program for ail of i your ornamentals, fruits and \egetables. ! There are many effective spray chemicals available—some for sucking insects, other for Insects that chew their food and some combination materials which are effective ag^ainst both types. Mix ail materials according to instructions given on the con tainers. This rd]> insure proper concentration. Observe safety measures: by not inhaling spray or dust; by washing hands with soap and water; by storing out of reach of children and pets.

An important new resource for drug abuse education, for exam ple, is now being added to our armament. Callcti . “The Social Seminar: Drugs, Education and Society," it is a multi-media drug abuse education program designed for educational personal use — teach- ers. administrators, trainers, -school nurses, psychologists, lounso’ors and others.

Accompanying the package Is an overall de scriptive film, and 'general guide lines. jUso included Is a discussion guide for each film, designed to facilitate and encourage partici pant interatcion, because discus sion is an indispensable part of TTS. There is also a programmed text covering factual and phar maceutical material relating to drugs. TSS Is completed with a ro’e-playing simulation program which includes a leader’s guide, Jole cards, and a player's manual for each participant. TSS approaches the problems of drug abuse and itj prevention with the context of total society. The underlying perspective is that there are no simple solutions to complex problems.
