If the speaker's, name appears on the

Another "do" is to be enthusiastic,
Jacobs says. Your enthusiasm towards the
guest speaker will help arouse the audien-
ce's interest. A hearty handshake 'at the end

• It is important that you don't take longer
than 60 seconds to make the introduction;
the guest speaker is the main attraction, not
the petted/dating the introduction. For the
same reason; it is usually improper to tell

Never state that the other speaker you tried

case). • -
Statements like "....the speaker we have
all been waiting for..." may be good for the
guest speaker but it won't .b�.a compliment
to anyone else who has been speaking. Other
• cliches such as "without further adieu" or
"it is indeed a great pleasure...," are not as
effective as ending with a simple "ladies and
•gentlemen, Jane Doe." -
Jacobs says the introducer's final task is to
• lead the applause.

the precinct nag.
When you are ready to go out to the field,
count off 50 paces (50 m). Using the
calibration bottle, check the output in metric
by driving this distance at normal speed.
Two hundred millilitres in the bottle equals
80 L/ha of spray.
Read the labels on pesticide packages.
Some labels have conversions printed on
them; others may give metric only. To
convert application rates multiply gallons
per acre 'by 11.2 to determine litres per
hectare.
To convert pounds per square inch of old
pressure gauges to the metric, equivalent,
multiply psi by 6.89 to determine kilopascals
(kPa). •
"Application rates have been a problem in
the past," says Mr. Scott. "Weeds have
been missed and, crops have been injured.
This year spray operators mutt be on their
toes to get the correct rate. With some pre-
planning and extra care, we could have a
year of fewer spray problems."
