You're not clear in what you want - if you want to disable
the functionality (not recommended), delete the lines in
the crontab file.

If you just don't want to hear about it, redirect output to
/dev/null:

...blah blah... >> /dev/null 2>&1

This isn't recommended either... you (or someone else) should
know what's going on on your server.
