The change covers approxi­ mately 100 household insect killers, including some nationally advertised brands, that contain pyrethrins. for alarm EPA emphasizes that there is no cause in using the insect sprays now on hand in homes as long as they are used according to direc­ tions. The new label requirement is related to truth in labeling and will end the use of unqualified safety claims on pesticide labels. The change is effective for manu­ facturers now applying for registrations or for those amending their registration. Manufacturers registrations have until Dec. 19 to submit new labeling to EPA. One year is allowed for clearance of on-hand stocks of pyrethrin pesticides already packaged and labeled. holding Tank Mixes and Serial Applications- There have been many questions raised with respect to tank mixes (combina­ tions of two or more pesticides in the spray tank at time of application) and serial application of one pesticide immediately or shortly following the application of another, as the prac­ tices relate to use inconsistent with the label. The policy of the Office of Pesticide of EPA with respect to such practices provides for informal interpretation of use incon­ sistent with label instructions as such questions arise. Programs Tank mixes and serial applications may fall into one o f several categories: Category 1. Instructions provided for such use on one or more labels of EPA registered products; Category 2. Such use may be covered by an intra-state registration; and Category 3. Various tank mixes and serial applications have been tested and by Agriculture Experiment Stations or State Depart­ ments of Agriculture or are common agricultural practices. recommended Tank mixes or serial applications recommended on EPA labels (Category 1) are obviously consistent with the label.

This will occur generally after Oct. 21, 1974, and be completed by October, 1976. Finally, the legislative history of the new pesticide act clearly shows that Congress intended EPA to apply the test of reasonability in enforcing mi sure provisions. From this point of view, transitional period while parties adjust to the new law, tank mixes and serial applications in Category 3 will not be deemed use inconsistent with the label if: during a a) the products in the mix are applied at a dosage rate not to exceed the label instructions for use of any pro­ duct in the mix used singly for the same set of pests on the same crop; and b) the label on one or more of the products does not explicitly instruct against such a mixture. If adverse effects are observed from any particular tank mix or serial application, EPA may take appropriate a c t i o n to rule the use of such a specific mix or serial application to be inconsistent with label instructions on a case-by-case basis. Cancellation - On July 13, 1973, a notice was published in the Federal Register continuing the phaseout of no residue, or zero tolerance, registra­ tions. Included in the pesticide use patterns involving food or feed which are not supported by finite tolerances, exemptions, or interim tolerances is the use of endosulfan on soybeans. As this use would reasonably be expected to result in or on the harvested the registration of this use has been cancelled by EPA. in residues food, EPA Certification Regulations to\ have 10 Commercial Applicator Groups-1 Proposed EPA guidelines on applicator certification standards will designate 10 “ professions” as categories of commercial applicators; demonstration pest control; regulatory pest control; public health pest control; agricultural pest control; forest pest control; seed treatment; aquatic pest control; right- of-way pest i n d u s t r i a l , institutional pest control; and ornamental and turf pest control. control; and structural knowledge All commercial applicators will be to meet a general standard required demonstrating safe! pesticide use and the principles and! practices of pest control.

AgricoCountry Club 7 O rg a n iz a tio n Its True P urpose and M eaning by the late JAMES E. THOMAS By We can speak of it as an organized body, or as a system, or as a society. However, as it applies to us as golf course superintendents, let’ s substi­ tute the word organize; which means, to give an orderly structure to, or to frame and put into working order, or to make arrangements for or get up an understanding involving cooperation. fulfilling our duties as golf course superintendents, we find our work can be organized and divided into several different categories. Among them: Administration, which involves the planning and timing of our work. The arrangement of work facilities. The preparation of budgets, and our public relations program. Personnel relationships call for an understanding of labor considerations; such as the creation of retirement funds, hospitali­ zation and health programs, year round employment for golf employees, the day-to-day management of our labor crews, and a good safety program for the prevention of accidents. Also, we need to consider the, importance of keeping abreast of the- times; which necessitates the main­ taining of a good up-to-date library, so, as to provide us with good sources of information, and the results of newj research progress. A g r o n o m i c matters call for a working knowledge of grasses, soils,j irrigation, trees, shrubs and ornamen­ tals on the golf course. We must also4 know something about pest control; particularly - weeds, insects, diseases, nematodes, and miscellaneous var­ mints. Also, an adequate know-how concerning the m a i n t e n a n c e of equipment and machinery is a must for the successful operation of our golf facilities. Thus we have organization as it effects us as individuals. Let us now consider organization as it applies to a society; such as our local Association o f G olf Course Superintendents, and the Golf Course S u p e r i n t e n d e n t s Association of A m e r i c a .

Their admonitions are worth repeating. They tell us any association is capable of great good, if its members strive wholeheartedly to see that it serves a high and noble purpose. Yet, all organizations are made up of human beings, and accordingly there is a constant tendency; to lose sight of lofty objectives; to get bogged down in trivialities; to let the running of the organization slip by default into the hands of those who are either incap­ able, disinterested, corrupt or not representative of the membership. once Great stress is laid on the impor­ tance of the individual member. We are told to be selective, and to make the most of the time and effort we spare for group work. Also, to spend more of our time working for organiza­ tions, both local and national, so as to make a real impact for good in the accomplishments of our goals. That when we join a worthwhile organization, we should be sure to take a conscientious, intelligent and active its objectives. We are admonished to live up to our obligations. That whatever our organization may be, it adds up to nothing more or less than one indivi­ dual member like yourself. In short, you are the organization.
