Show PLAN TO SAVE THE HAY CROP Farmers Cannot Arford to Allow Valuable Valu-able Alfalfa and Clover to Be Ruined by Showers. Many farmers will be aggravated by frequent showers during alfalfa and clover haying. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to let hay worth to you as feed from $8 to $15 per too be spoiled by rain? One cannot always wait for the weather to get settled. In many localities locali-ties it does not settle till after haying is over. Overripe hay is very little good. It must be cut in season, regardless re-gardless of the weather. .We suggest that you get a hundred hay caps for the field and some stack covers if you stack outdoors. The caps will not cost very much and if cared for will last many years. Then you can cover the hay cocks and let them cure longer than you would dare If they were left exposed t6 rain. We've got to look more carefully to saving what we grow, as well as growing grow-ing larger crops, and this is a step in that direction. |
