It will make the leaf papery and completely destroys the value of the to bacco The tarnish plant bug has also been stinging the main vein of the tobacco plant. . Andnn, re cently'cleared for use by the Food and Drug_ Administration, applied at the rate of a pint and a half an acre, will control the bug. Sloat suggests that growers check their tobacco and apply spray as soon as possible if in fection exists. Andrin has also been found to be the best spray for cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. Aphids, the imported cabbage worm and the cabbage lopper are riddling cabbage this year. Andnn can be applied until the young heads start to form Corn aphids are causing more excrement and worry than they warrant, Sloat said. The insects have been found on the tassles and upper reaches of the stalk. The most effect the aphid can have on corn is to retard the pol lination However in a normal cornfield at least 10 times as much pollen is produced by each plant than is needed Only in cases of sweet corn or seed corn production will spraying pay, ac cording to Penn State entomolo gists EX 2-2154 Many natural enemies of the corn aphid were observed by Letter to the Editor Dear Sir The publicity given to the recent court decision re voking an order issued by the Pennsylvania Milk Control Com mission, which originally per mitted the milk dealer to pay Class 1 price for all milk sold as Golden Guernsey to the pro ducers of suich milk, carried some misleading information The most serious of these was the dealers would not be permit ted to pay a premium for Golden Guernsey Milk Golden Guernsey Milk because of its peculiar qualities which in cludes a distinctively different flavor from other milk besides higher fat, 'protein, mineral and vitamin content than milk pro duced by other breeds, has al ways been accepted by the public which willingly said a small pre mium for this milk. The Milk Dealer didn’t make anymore money on this milk than on re gular milk but paid this premium back to the farmers who pro duced the milk The producer, thus, is partly compensated for the extra ex pense he incurs in producing this milk because of stricter regula tions than he would otherwise have to meet. The Court deci sion was not in reference to this premium dealers paid, and will continue to pay, their Golden Guernsey producers. The ruling has the effect that, although milk produced by Gold en Guernsey producers and sold as fluid milk to the consumer, in part cannot be paid by the deal er with the Class 1 price but will be paid to the farmer on the basis as if the milk had been used for lower priced milk utili zation, such as, skim milk, cot tage cheese, and ice cream. The Pennsylvania Guernsey Breeders’ Assn, which is the agent for Golden Guernsey in Pennsylvania, has carried this fight only in an effort to insure the producer of the milk, pay ment on the basis for what it actually is used. Golden Guern sey will continue to be produced and producers will get the pre mium, but the Court decision actually is faking away from the farmers their rightful pay for their labor to some extent. I sincerely hope that you will find it possible to publish this letter so that some misunder standings can be cleared up among your readers. Wm. H. Juzi, Business Manager Pa. Guernsey Breeders’ Assn.
