Treat Sheep For Ticks

Sheep ticks migrate from ewes
to lambs in spring. and lambs can
not grow normally when infested
with ticks.
The best time to treat sheep for
ticks and lice is shortly after shear
ing when shearing wounds have
healed.
William Henderson. county ag-
ricutural agent, says the entire
flock, including lambs. should be
treated with any of the following:
Coral. DOT, dieldrin, lindane.
Ronnel (Korlan) or rotenone are
all effective for sheep tick and lice
control. Use only rotenone on milk
goats.

Timely Report

1t is especially timely in view Of
the large-scale Soviet testing of
nuclear devices in the atmosphere
and the substantial upsurge in
the public's interest in fallout
shelters. Its major conclusion,
which perhaps was necessarily
generalized, was stated thusly:
"Fallout levels resulting up un-
til now within the United States
from the new series Of Soviet nu-
clear tests do not warrant undue
public concern, nor initiation of
public health action designed to
limit intake Of radioactive ma
terials by individuals or large pop
ulation groups in any part Of the
country"
On Friday, PHS officials esti-
mated that fallout from the cur
rent Soviet tests (including the
50-megaton blast set for tomor-
row or Tuesday, roughly equals"
the total fallout from every test
ever held by any nation at any
time.
Even so, these officials said, no
special steps to decontaminate
food are warranted. They added
that fallout from all tests to date
adds up to only approximately /
per cent Of the natural back.

The PHS. while not on the side
Of the scarers, is definitely not
siding with the scoffers. It has
adopted the "no-threshold" con-
cept of radiation hazard, which
assumes that there Is no level of
radiation exposure below which
one can be absolutely certain that
harmful effects may not occur to
