Pishon g. Clark have paid out to
Somerset farmers, during the past nine
months, $50, 900 cash for hay they have
shipped to market. This is an item not
to be dispised. The hay crop, whether
to feed or to sell, is the crop of the
greatest importance to Somerset farmers.
They should look well after its growth
and the harvesting of it. Cut it early is
what these gentlemen would impress
upon the raisers of hay and it is very
important instruction. One ton of hay
cut in the right season is worth about
two tons cut after the right time has
gone by. 1t is worth more to feed and
consequently worth more to sell.
Farmers should heed this and make
their plans to cut their hay early.
