I I Vegetable Insects are trying to] take their toll in our gardens. Extension Leaflet No. 57, “Vege table Insect' Control," gives you control measures on vegetable in sects. If you want a copy let us know. Last week, I noticed several patches of snapbeans being dam aged by beetles. The cabbage worm and other insects are busy. Don’t feed' insects and starve your family. Control the insects and feed your famjly. But, 'be ’careful with insecticides and use them as recommended. Monday , a lady called me about picking snapbeans Wednes day and had dusted them with Toxaphetie that day. Toxaphene will control beetles but it is not recommended for snapbeans. It, is dangerous. Sevin can be used up to the day before harvest. Malathion can be used up to four days before harvest. Ro tenone can be used even on the day of harvest. You can control insects and have safe vegetables to eat if you will only follow recommen dations. We have the informa tion if you will only call for it and use it.

New Vet Pension Law Will Go In Effect On July 1 All veterans and their de pendents who qualify for VA pensions after July 1 will be governed entirely by provisions of the new pension law, which becomes effective on that day. The Veterans Administration said, however, that veterans and veterans’ dependents who are already receiving pensions may either stay under the old law or elect to come under terms of the new law. The choice is solely up to them. Once a pension recipient elects the new law he or she can never return to the old law. But the pension recipient can delay choosing to come under the new law as long as he or she may wish, VA explained. VA has mailed an instruction pamphlet and a card on which to make the choice, to each per son now receiving pension.
