of chemicals in the agricultural industry has seldom sunk far below the sur face Despite the recent controver sy over the provincial governe ments use of the weed killer 24D however the control of pesticides continues to tip the scale in favor of safety says crop specialist with the ministry of agriculture and foods officein Alliston From food production point of view the regulations and controls are heck of lot better than those we have on the highway says Chuck Kingsbury They have increased to the point where to be honest con sider them ridiculous None of the chemicals cur rently

Agriculture Canada says Dr Huntley The bulk of the initial testing is done by the manufacturers whose data is evaluated by Agriculture Canada TESTED FURTHER The department of health and welfare carry out further tests to determine the health hazards to humans before the chemicals are approved for use at the pro vincial level Dr Huntley says The provinces can add modifications to the screening process and have the authority to regulate the chemicals use and licensing of persons who apply for it he says In Ontario the advisory com mittee is constantly reviewing data on new products listing the hazards and recommending methods of use Dr Huntley says It is the provincial ministry of agriculture and food which makes the final recommenda tion to local farmers as to which herbicides
