Pesticides Aid Food Supply
By: Walter H. Rucker
In recent Senate hearings on
pesticides it was concluded:
»The food supply of the U.S.
is the envy of the world . .
The critical assurance that
these abundant crops ca n be
profitably grown, harvested and
stored is due to pest control—
with chemical pesticides."
According to th e United Na
tions, the single most important
thing countries can do to in
crease food production is to ex
pand their use of pesticides. Ch
emicals alone can mean the
difference between starvation
and survival for millions.
Yes, pesticides play an im
portant part and are destined
to be even more important in the
future.
The world's population is al
ready over 3 billion and growing
rapidly. Hunger is a constant
companion in many nations that
do not have the modern agri
cultural technology that we take

for granted.
With the use of pesticides to
control weeds, diseases and in
sects, one U.S. farmer is now
able to produce enough food and
fiber for himself and 43 others.
Without the use of these "crop
and chemicals," such produc
tion would not be possible. With
out pesticides, losses to insects
and diseases would be much
higher. And so would food costs,
higher. And so would food
costs.

ATTEND BALL
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson M. Butler entertained Mr. and Mrs. Morris Crain at the annual Harvest
Ball, Atlanta Atheletic Club,Nov. 6,1969. Mr. Butler is owner of Forsyth Ins. Agency in Cumming.

school in Forsyth County
STORING PECANS
In-shell pecan nuts can be
stored successfully for 18
months at 32 to 36 degrees
Fahrenheit. At zero degrees
F. the storage life may be
extended to 6-10 years. Tests
have shown that shelled halves
remain fresh for 12 months
at 32 to 36 degrees. The sma
ller the pieces, the shorter
the storage life.
You can store small quanti
ties of pecans at home by pl
acing them in deep freeze
either whole, cracked or sh
elled.
Remember, pecans absorb
odors readily. So they should
no t be stored near onions, or
anges, etc. Strong odors of
wood, ammonia, paint and as
pahlt can also be taken up by
the pecan kernels.
Of course, storage never im
proves quality. At best, proper
storage only enables pecans to
maintain their present qualtiy.

Dear Mr. Martin: Are warr
anties and guarantees worth
the paper they’re printed on?
I had an experience recently
with the dealer where I bought
my new car that leads me to
believe otherwise.
Mr. 8.D.: Reputable manufac
turers and certainly in your
case, automobile manufactur
ers, stand behind their guar
antees and warranties. They
must or suffer from some bad
public relations and perhaps,
legal action. Often, the trouble
falls in that middle ground be
tween manufacturer and con
sumer. Anyone having difficulty
with a certain dealer, no mat
ter what the product, should
write directly to the manuf
acturer, with a copy to the de
aler. Usually, manufacturers
are anxious to learn about any
problems concerning their de
alership.
Sometimes, you may be sur
prised at the results. A case
in point concerned a lady who
wrote me recently stating that
her faith had been restored in
a certain company. When the
product did not perform to her
satisfaction and to the manu
facturer’s advertised claim,
she wrote the company. They
quickly refunded her money and
urged her to continue using
their product. . .which she in-

tends to. In this case, however,
the lady was dealing directly
with the manufacturer and I
suspect that she wasn’t using it
exactly according to the instr
uctions. I also suspect that the
company knew this too.
There is a psychology behind
the guarantee. For one thing it’s
an excellent sales promotion gi
mmick. And for another, man
ufacturers know that most peo
ple who are not totally diss
atisfied, for example, will not
bother to take the time and
trouble to write, package and
return the product to the man
ufacturer.
I’ve always maintained and
advocated that if you’re unhappy
with a product . . .let the peo
ple who sold it ... or made
it. . . .know about it. Nine
times out of ten they’ll be glad
you did.
Psychiatrists
Approve Bill
ATLANTA PRN— The
Council of the Georgia
Psychiatric Association, at its
most recent meeting, went on
record as approving House Bill
No. 1, Georgia’s new mental
health legislation, enacted by
the 1969 General Assembly.
The governing authority of
each county can choose
between the “medical
procedure,” which is outlined
in the new law, and the
“judicial procedure,” which is
essentially the same as in the
current law. The Georgia
Psychiatric Association
Council is of the opinion that
the well being of psychiatric
patients is best met by the
counties following the
“medical procedure.”
