A SHORT HAY CROP.
A farmer who has hay to sell this
year will find it a paying crop, and
generally through the States east OF
the Alleghanies there has been enough
rainfall to bring the yield nearly to the
average. But in the valleys of the
Ohio, the upper Mississippi and Miss
ouri deficiency of from six to eleven
inches in the rainfall during the spring
months has made the grass crop unus-
nally short, large proportion of the
meadows being scarcely worth cutting.
The hay crop of last year was nearly
eleven million tons less than the crop
Of 1898, and the prospect of another
and much greater deficiency in the
marketable surplus has put fancy
price upon the available supply out
west. Farmers can generally provide
for home use substitute in the form
of corn fodder, or exc out deficiency
of clover and timothy by turning un-
der winter wheat stubble and sowing
millet.
But shortage in the hay crop is a
big loss to the country. The farm
value of this crop of 1893, according
to the statistician of the Agriculture
Department, was $50, 1872, ,S72, or
more than twice the farm value of last
years wheat crop and S16,OOO,0OO
more than the value of last years corn
crop.
