Wuensche Warns Pydrin Use Illegal
MERIDIAN — Bosque County
Extension Agent Norris Wuensche
warns sorghum producers worried
about potential midge damage that
use of the insecticide Pydrin remains
illegal, pending use release not yet
granted by the U.S.D.A.E.P.A., and
other regulatory agencies.
"It’s a great insecticide for killing
the sorghum midge, but It’s illegal,”
Wuenshche reminded, "and there
will be spot checks done to see if it’s
being used.”
Grain sorghum producers in Coas-
tal counties are already involved in a
battle with the sorghum midge.
Those further north in the state are
anticipating the problem. In the
meantime, the Texas Department of
Agriculture is involved in negotia-
tions with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, in which authori-
zation is being sought for the
emergency registration of Pydrin for
use against the sorghum midge.
According to an official release,
the department is disturbed by
information received from reliable
sources that some grain sorghum
producers acting in cohart with some
commercial appl icators have decided
to ignore the state’s pesticide law
and the department's efforts and are
making illegal applications of Pydrin
to grain sorghum to control the
midge. They say places the law
abiding grain sorghum producers
and commercial pesticide applicators
at a competitive disadvantage and
breeds contempt for the law. In
addition, those grain sorghum pro-
ducers who have knowingly or
unknowingly permitted illegal appli-
cations of Pydrin on their grain
sorghum should be advised that the
U.S. EPA has not established toler-
ances for residues of Pydrin on grain
sorghum. Grain sorghum found to
contain any residues of Pydrin are
subject to seizure and removal from
the normal channels of trade until
safe levels of residues have been
determined.
Although a spokesman says the
department can and does sympathize
with the grain sorghum producer's
problem with the midge, it cannot, as
a regulatory agency charged with
responsibly of enforcing the state’s
pesticide law, condone these illegal,
actions. Therefore all affected TDA
districts have been instructed to
Initiate investigations of all learned
of or suspected violations. In addi-
tion, TDA Inspectors will be sampl-
ing incoming loads of grain sorghum
to grain warehouses at harvest time
for the defection of illegal residues
of Pydrin.

Clifton Record Reporter
LAKE WHITNEY - The body of a
white male of undetermined age was
discovered floating in the water near
McCown Valley Park on Lake Whit-
ney on Saturday, July 2, by a group of
young adults swimming there, ac-
cording to Hill County Sheriff Brent

found around noon when one of the
swimmers stepped on the corpse,
which was hidden beneath the
water's surface. The victim was
wearing only a pair of cut-off Levis
and had no identification on him.
A preliminary autopsy of the body
revealed that the unknown victim
died of accidental drowning, said
Sheriff Button. At this time no foul
play Is suspected in the death, he
added.

victim, no hint of his identity has yet
been discovered and no inquiries
regarding missing persons have
been received by the department as
of Tuesday morning, July 5, Button
said. Efforts to identify the victim;
continue.
