Calif. plans pest quarantine FRESNO (AP) — California officials plan to quarantine an area in the state's citrus belt where a pest capable of killing citrus trees was found. California Department of Food and Agriculture spokesman Steve Lyle said Tuesday that the state is work- ing to determine the quarantine's boundaries in Tulare County. The quarantine will go into effect next week. An Asian citrus psyllid was discovered last week in a commercial citrus orchard in the county. The psyllid can spread a bacteria capable of killing citrus trees. Officials were not able to determine whether the psyllid found near Strathmore was carrying the bacteria. Lyle said that in other psyllid quarantines, only commer- cially cleaned and packed citrus fruit may be moved out of a quarantine area. maker of the controversial pesticide methyl iodide, used primarily to fumigate strawberries, has agreed to remove all of its products from the U.S. market and end sales permanently.

Maker of methyl iodide ends US EPA registration Methyl iodide had been widely seen as a replace- ment for another fumigant, methyl bromide, which is being phased out under international treaty because it depletes the Earth's ozone. Some growers are currently using up their sup- plies of methyl bromide, while others have switched to fumigants such as chloropicrin and metam sodium as alternatives. Methyl iodide is injected into soil, kills bugs, weeds and plant diseases. It was also used by some growers of tomatoes, peppers and other crops. 20% ANY K U T S Family Hair Salon K W I K off Regular Haircut $ FIREARMS TRAINING & 2ND C.C.W. 1ST Call for Class details Dec. 1ST Early morning & evenings Walt Mansell 527-1154 time & renewal class with any chemical service of $50 or more Not good with other offers Expires 11/30/12 With coupon RETAIL PRODUCT 200 Reg. $13.95 off 1064 South Main St., Red Bluff • 529-3540 COMPLETE AUTO REPAIR recommened 30K, 60K, 90K SERVICES AT LOWER PRICES All makes and models.
