Early mayfly fossil found in Nova Scotia

JOGGINS, N.S. (CP) A rare, 300-mithion-year-old_ fossilized insect has been discovered in western Nova Scotia, a museum official said

Area fossil hunters Don and Doug Reid discovered the remains of anearly type of mayfly while walking the Joggins beach May |, said Bob Gran tham of the Nova Scotia Museum.

It’s one of the oldest fossilized insec ts ever found, Grantham said

Don Reid, who has been collecting fossils along the Joggins shore tor more than 40 years, said he and his son knew right away they had something important

“1 was so perfect in the rock you could-see it (even while)-standing tive to six feet away,’’ he said

Fhe fossil was lying loose on the beach and probably would have been destroyed by the action of the Bay of Fundy in a month or two if it hadn't been found, Grantham said

Finding @ fossilized insect is ex- tremely rare, Grantham said, because insects are delicate creatures that usually don’t survive the fossilization process

The wings are well preserved, he said, and much of the thorax and tail were also preserved.

PESTICIDE SCARE

Label said resented

TORONTO (CP) — Farmers resent the suggestion they are ‘‘a bunch of gung-ho chemical advocates” profit from using pesticides and her bicides which hurt consumers and the environment, says one spokesman

A recent scare over chemical residues in apples shows the public doesn’t understand why and how far mers use pesticides, says Terry Daynard of the Ontario Corn Producers’ Association.

“It’s frustrating to farmers” to be thought of as people *‘who really don’t have much concern for the environ ment,” he said ina recent interview

Jeff Wilson, a fruit and vegetable grower near Guelph, Ont., says con- sumers have been frightened but not well-informed by the publicity

“There is a general fear but they don’t know what the fear is (of),"" said Wilson, who sells produce at a road side stand

Wilson is chairman of the Ontario Agricultural Crop Protection Com mittee, an umbrella group of 12 farm organizations which educates farmers and the public about management

Wilson, Daynard and the federal Department of Health and Welfare say the potential health effects of chemical residues in been exaggerated

*We can see that leading politically to bans on the use of them (pesticides),"’ Daynard said, **That would raise our costs and farmers are not convinced they would end up with better quality (food) or 4 better en vironment."

NOT ALL AGREE

Not all farmers agree that pesticides are a negessity. An increasing number of farmers are forswearing commercial

chemicals for so-called methods.

Canadian farmers spent more than $694 million on herbicides and pesticides in 1985, according to Statistics Canada. Almost 23 million hectares were sprayed to control weeds that year, while more than 4.5 million hectares were sprayed for insects and disease such as fungus or moulds.

Chemicals have allowed farmers to produce high crop yields relatively cheaply and efficiently and kept prices low at the supermarket

**There’s no doubt at all if it wasn’t for pesticides, global production of food would be down significantly,”’ said Daynard, a former crop scientist at the University of Guelph

But, he says, farmers are becoming enyjronmentally working the soil‘less in an effort to reduce erosion, and using pesticides than they would have a decade ago.

He noted several farm groups are co: operating with government programs such as Ontario’s Food Systems 2002, which aims to reduce pesticide use by 50 per cent in the next 13 years.

However, Daynard says eliminating pesticides entirely would be ‘trading one set of environmental problems for another,”’ adding growers who don’t

use chemicals have to till their soil more to control weéds, which can lead to increased erosion

And pesticides help to control disease, weeds and contaminants such as mould that may pose a greater health threat than pesticide residues, he says.

But Dennis Reay of the Canadian Organic Growers disagrees. Organic techniques encourage minimal cultivation -and covering crops to discourage weeds and erosion, and emphasize increasing the percentage of organi matter in the soil.

“We can easily demonstrate that with the proper guidance, by the four- th year (after switching to organic far- ming), you can return to near-normal yields

Farmers accept that pesticide residues may pose a health risk but, Daynard says, consumers should keep the risk in perspective.

He cites the work, of Bruce Ames, a prominent cancer researcher at the University of California, on car- cinogenic substances that naturally in plants.

Ames says that worry over man- made pesticide residues is unnecessary since people eat 10,000 times as much natural pesticides, which plants produce to fight off fungus, insects
