National Loss to Weeds Enormous “Weed control in this country is a big problem because of the losses it causes and the cost of control,” said R. S. Dunham, professor emeritus, University of Minnesota. Weeds cost farmers and the agriculture business more than $7.5 billion last year. One of the “tools” helping the farmer win the food/weed struggle is modern herbicides. Without these weed controlling chemicals the loss to farmers would be many times greater which would be reflected ia higher prices at the super* market. Z * I . Bugs are a Big Deal , No matter how efficiently man farms his land, no matter what kind of natural controls he may choose to use, man will always lose out to bugs—-unless he uses pesticides. “Bugs reproduce far too rapidly for farmers to be able to raise food in sufficient amounts to feed both pests and humans. The pests will win it all every time,” says Dr. Robert WhiteStevens, Chairman of the Bureau of Conservation and Environmental Science at Rutgers University. Estimated annual losses of crop plants and livestock in the United States is currently about S2O billion, even with our intensive pest control measures and efficient pesticides. This is a "tax” of 25 cents on every dollar spent for food. Z n The Other Paris i’ou needn’t be under 21 to enjoy an inexpensive vacation in Paris.

REAL ESTATE TAXES TOO HIGH? NEW YORK (ED) — ManSr homeowners are learning what they can do to protect themselves against inequitable property assessment and taxes. The key word is investigation. With the right sleuthing any homeowner can find out if he is being dealt with fairly or not. How to start? Author Donald K. Ross, director of Ralph Nader’s Washington, D.C. Citizens Action Group lists in A PUBLIC CITIZEN'S ACTION MANUAL (Grossman, $1.95 paper; $5.95 cloth), a consumer guidebook edited and sponsored by Mr. Nader, three checkpoints for insuring fair property assessment: 1) Check to see if your house is overassessed in com- . parison to your neighbors (or conversely). 2) Find out if your neighborhood is overassessed in comparison with another neighborhood. 3> Check to see if you and homeowners with similar property are being overassessed in comparison to people who huld other types of property. If there is a disparity on any of the above three points, you could well be paying too much assessment tax. It’s worth the sleuthing! A PUBLIC CITIZEN'S ACTION MANUAL tells you how to conduct other kinds of investigations. From supermarket price comparisons to getting dangerous toys off merchants’ shelves, it's good to know that with the right procedure an individual can take effective action to protect himself, his family and u.timately his community.
