Apple-Crop: pumpkin plot
Bill, About my trip up on Wednesday ... The pumpkin plot is an insecticide seed treatment trial that pretty much has to be hand-planted. Do you need me to bring up one or two hand-jab Almaco planters, or do you have one (or something similar) already. Let me know.

Re: Apple-Crop: Rachel Carson's legacy
Dave et al, the article appears to be just a free preview now with an upgrade to purchase the whole article. We apologize but apparently apple-crop went on a bit of a hiatus in conjunction with myself, so the posts have not been getting delivered timely. FWIW, my impression of Rachel Carson was that she was in impassioned scientist that appreciated good science but exposed -- what was then -- the indiscriminate use of pesticides that had an extreme impact on non-target wildlife. Carson's work and writing kindled the formation of EPA, whether you consider that good or bad... :-) Jon Jon Clements Extension Tree Fruit Specialist UMass Cold Spring Orchard 393 Sabin Street Belchertown, MA 01007 VOICE 413.478.7219 FAX 413.323.0382 IM mrhoneycrisp Skype Name mrhoneycrisp On Jun 5, 2007, at 1:36 PM, Dave Rosenberger wrote: Check out the excellent article on Rachel Carson's legacy in today's NT Times on-line at the web-site noted below.

Re: Apple-Crop: Rachel Carson's legacy
Her legacy is that she was one of a small number of people who, at the time, made people conscious of the fact that human activity has an impact on our environment. Not necessarily a bad lesson to learn. -- Written on a 4 sq. inch BlackBerry screen, which means that there are probably typos :)
