Because of the shortage of metals vital to the war, Sheffield Farms Com- pany today solicited the support of dairymen supplying it with milk in a co-operative effort to conserve milk cans. The plan was announced by R. M. Wellwood, executive vice president. Sheffield has requested its country inspectors and superintendents to as- sist farmers in every way to return cans to^tbe company's country plants. A check has shown that thousands of these cans are scattered over the milk shed and are not being used as effic- iently as they should be to handle milk. \Aside from the fact that these cans are worth $5.50 apiece, we are having difficulty obtaining as many as we require,\ iMr. Wellwood said. \The na- tionwide campaign to conserve meta} has caused us to study our can prob- lems more closely and we believe that we can contribute a worthwhile effort to this drive by obtaining the co-oper- ation of farmers to whom we loan cans. \Prompt return of milk cans to our country plants and their use only for handling milk will enable us to cut down on orders for new cans. We have already ordered eight carloads of cans this year. Our present drive is aimed to reduce this need for new cans to a much lower monthly average for the balance of the year. _ \Our producers have already receiv- ed information regarding the care and preservation of metal dairy equip- ment such as milk cans, pails, and strainers. Our country representatives are prepared to help, farmers get long- er life from such equipment by advis- ing them on jts proper care.\ Frank Western of Oneonta spent several days of last week with his family here; Mr. Western was called home by the death of his father, Wil- liam Western.

V 'Misi' R.\ y H.\Beg: proprietorJoJt; the F-file'/ H OME gardeners should always be on tne lookout for insect : jests. Particularly, when the plants in the garden are young and tender are they most likely to be damaged i>y insects. The best means of con- »rol is to spray or dust with the proper insecticide at the first signs, of attack. ,| Two types of insect are well' known nuisances—those that suck the juices or sap of the plant, as aphlds or plant lice, and those that chew or bite off bits of the plant, as worms of various kinds, caterpil- lars, and beetles The effect of the 'first type can be seen in general droopiness and unhealthy appear- ;ance of the plant; the work of the 'second shows up in actual riddling of the leaves and other plant parts. | For sucking Insecta contact in- secticides are weeded. The spray or dust must hit and cover the insect, 'actually smothering it. An insecti- cide containing 40 per cent nicotine , sulfate is one of the -Best Rotenone and pyretbhim are also effective. The spray or dust must reach the lower surface of-the leaves as well as upper parts. ! Stomach poisons are required for destroying chewing insects. The material is sprayed or dusted thoroughly on all surfaces of the plant so as to make a deposit. When the insect eats the plant, ii also lakes in some of the poison . and i s killed. One of the most com- mon poisons for chewing Insects is calcium arsenate. Rotenone. pri- marily a contact insecticide, acts as a stomach oolsoii for the green cabbage -worm and the Mexican bean-Jbeetle. j For controlling such pests as cut worms, cricketsrsflhi grasshoppers, poison ~ bran bait is sometimes spread on the ground at. the base of the plant. For the larger insects, such as Colovado potato beetle, the big green tomato worm, and the , squash bngi hand picking is about the most: satisfactory means of con- trol in small gardens.
