Insect Pests Worry Farmers This Spring
County Agent Warner outlines two main insect types affecting crops. Chewing insects like potato beetle and cucumber beetle are treated with stomach poisons such as arsenicals, while sucking insects like aphids are controlled with contact insecticides. Recommend combining both spray types, using lime as carrier, and covering leaf undersides for certain pests. County extension office offers guidance leaflets and a potato spraying bulletin.

Indiana County potato spraying advised against flea beetle threat
County Agent Warner urges Indiana county potato growers to start spraying as soon as row direction is visible. Bordeaux mixture plus lime is recommended every six to seven days, with 12 to 14 applications, to curb flea beetles and prevent tip burn and blight. A check plot is advised to gauge spray value.

Dairymen Face Milk Price Gaps Crowding Ice Cream Use
Western Pennsylvania dairy farmers lost access to nearly five million pounds of milk for ice cream in May due to a gap between state grade milk prices and shipped-in cream prices. Railroad data show 5,929 ten gallon cans of 40 percent cream from outside Pennsylvania arrived in Pittsburgh in May, far above last year’s 906 cans. If the Dairy men’s Cooperative Sales Association could have sold their milk to ice cream makers, they would have earned about $17,000 more under current price controls. The issue alarms Western Pennsylvania dairy men and calls for Pennsylvania price schedule changes to permit excess milk sales for manufacturing.
