JANUARY 16, I974 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 9 Pesticides Ban - continued great benefits for man's food production they can be a liability if misused. "Mishandling has had serious consequences such as the kill- ing of benevolent plants or insects outside the intended target," he emphasized. "Figures supplied by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food reveal that in I972, $I50,000 worth of insured crops were destroyed by misuse of these crop-protecting products," he said. Estimates indicate that this loss was reduced to less than $50,000 in I973. Mr. Biggs went on to comment on the pench- ant of some to overlook the benefits of pest- icides use, seeing only dangers from their abuse. "When there is a car accident, people always investigate to see where the driver made his mistake. In the case of an accident involving pest control products, the immedia- te reaction is that these products are at fault and are too dangerous to use. "If we use these substances, if we agree that they must be used, then they must be used wisely," he concluded.
