Ramsey and Phil, Tuesday. EPA at Odds: By James Grangna. State FB President It's unfortunate that a working relationship doesn't exist between federal Environmental Protection Agency officials and agricultural interests that would allow decisions to be made in the interest of our national economy, the individual farmer, and ultimately the consumer. For example, the recent EPA decision not to lift the ban on DDT for emergency use on cotton in Louisiana will cost farmers in our state more than $50 million. The fact of the matter is that we have a generation of experience in the use of DDT behind us.

During this period of time, there is no documented evidence presented that shows DDT is a serious health hazard. Farmers who use and apply this pesticide seem to be healthy. Their close exposure to the chemical has had no adverse effect on their health. To the contrary, DDT has been a plus over the years, not just for agricultural use, but for health use in controlling disease carrying insects all over the world. This decision and this attitude goes much further than the use of DDT on cotton.

In recent years, environmentalists pressure has delayed construction of the Alaskan pipeline and blocked the exploration for offshore oil. The results have been disastrous for our economy. U.S. farmers need a helping hand if they are to feed and clothe a major portion of the world. They need realistic understanding as does the business and industrial sector of our economy.

Some environmentalists advocate organic farming or family self- sufficiency. In many third world countries organic farming is practiced not by choice but because it is the only method available. A close examination of these Pine Grove Mrs. James Bossier is attending a cafeteria manager's course in Baton Rouge this week. Barbara works at the Stanley school cafeteria.

Eula Ginn. She was in the Heritage Manor and had been sick a long time. During her life time she and Mr.Henry were faithful members of the Bethel Methodist church. They lived near the church for many years. Rev.

and Mrs. Efton Martin went to Many Sunday evening and visited their daughter, Mrs. Ray Williams, and family. Their grandson, Malcom, came home with them. Mr.

and Mrs. Jerry Lowe visited his brother, Edward Lowe, at Harvey's Landing, in Texas, Sunday evening. Rites Held prescripfor bis in die day and three Funeral services for Fred Eugene Alford, 79, of Joaquin, were held in Jackson church at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 24. Rev. Furman McCann and Rev.

Floyd Lawson officiated. Mr. Alford, native born, was a retired farmer and painter. He was born April 17, 1896, the son of John and Edna (Lattimer) Alford. He passed away May 23 in Shelby General hospital.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Clara Alford of Joaquin; two sons, Sam Alford of Conroe, Freddie Joe Alford of Joaquin; one daughter, Mrs. Charles Ray Henry of Las Vegas, Nevada; nine grandchildren, one great- grandchild. areas of the world will reveal, for those who care to observe, that the population's health is not being affected by agricultural chemicals but rather by malnutrition. The recent decision not to allow cotton farmers the use of DDT reflects an attitude that may well have far reaching effects not just on modern agriculture but our entire industrialized society.

It reflects a hard-line attitude by environmentalists that is misdirected and must be changed. Not changed to the point of allowing indiscriminate pollution of our planet, but changed to the degree that we can feed and clothe its citizens with 20th century methods. While some may refuse to believe it, 19th century agricultural methods are no longer adequate to meet world demands. Now Open For your needs in Christian Books, Records, and Bibles.
