Clean Up Mosquito
Breeding Places
Recent rains have brought
a mosquito problem to many
Texas communities.'
Standing water from these
showers makes an excellent
breeding place for
mosquitoes, days David
Sandefer, county agent with
the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, Texas
A&M University System.
Mosquitoes can lay eggs
wherever standing water is
available for a week or
longer. Old tires, tin cans,
birdbaths, roadside ditches,
rain gutters, temporary
water containers and
swampy places all can hold
enough water to provide
breeding sites for
mosquitoes.
If mosquitoes are a
problem, the first thing to do
is eliminate their breeding
sites, advises Sandefer.
Empty out old tires and
place them where they
cannot collect additional
water. Flatten and (discard
tin cans. Change the water
in birdbaths every week.
Clean out rain gutters,
remove temporary water
containers and see that rain
barrels and water storage
tubs are tightly covered.
Drain standing water from
ditches and swampy areas.
If there is standing water
that serves as a breeding site
but cannot be drained or
eliminateu, u eatment with a
larvicide will be necessary.
One of the most effective
larvicides is No. 2 diesel oil
with a biodegradable
spreader, applied at a rate
of 20 gallons for each surface
of water, or about 6 ounces
per 100 square feet of sur-
face.
Abate, malathion or
Dursban applied to standing
water at rates indicated on
their labels also are effective
larvicides. But labels should
be read carefully to deter-
mine the hazards these in-
secticides pose to persons
applying them and to fish
and aninidis that may use
the water, cautions San-
defer.

hay meadows is simple.
Most weeds are only a
problem with the first cut-
ting. However, the higher
quality of the first spring
growth is lost if the meadow
is weedy.

pre-emergence herbicides

local citizen has found the answer to the gasoline crisis. It looks as though he is
manning his car while his feet are on the ground providing the motion. Could this
be an idea for the future? Pictured outside his home on Main Street in Rio Grande

Saving Monty On
Prescription Drugs
Getting the best buy in
prescription drugs is not as
easy as comparison shop-
ping for many items. The
Texas Medical Association
offers some suggestions to
help you get the most good
for your money.
Ask your physician about
substituting a less expensive
drug than the drug
prescribed. Sometimes the
doctor can prescribe a safe
substitute but many drugs do
not have equivalents. If a
completely equivalent drug
exists, it may be cheaper.
Ask questions. Find out if
the drug has ide effects
when taken with alcohol,
foods or other drugs.
To help the doctor decide
about drugs, have a record
handy of prescription and
over-the-counter drugs you
currently are taking, past
prescriptions and drugs
you are allergic to.
Call around to find inex-
pensive pharmacies. When
calling, ask how much the
prescribed amount of the
drug will cost.
Avoid trying to save
money by taking drugs you
have had a long time. They
can be useless or dangerous.
Bad smells, funny color,
wrong consistency and an
old date on the prescription
are a few clues to bad drugs.
Since drug lifespans vary
from days to years, check
with a doctor or pharmacist
if you are in doubt. Keep in
mind that even if a drug is
still good, it may not be what
you need for a specific
illness or a newer, better
drug may have come out.
Store durgs properly to
increase their lifespan.
Often the humid bathroom
cabinet is the wrong place
for drugs since some must
be kept in a cool, dry place.
Keeping drug containers
tightly closed is another
important aspect of drug
storage.
Follow directions
carefully. It is a waste of
money and a threat to health
if you ignore instructions.
Remember that visiting a
doctor does not mean you
need a prescription. In this
society that thinks a pill can
cure anything, patients often
pressure doctors for un-
needed medicine.
There are many different
kinds of bath soap-clear,
castile, cocoa-butter, fruit,
deodorant and more, a
clothing specialist says. Use
one that doesn't dry your
skin-and remember to rinse
thoroughly, advises Nancy
Brown with the Texas
Agricultural Extension
Service, The Texas A&M
University System.
