LET FARMERS SAVE THEIR HAY.
Commissioner of Agriculture Says This
Is the Part of Wisdom.

The monthly bulletin Of the depart
ment Of agriculture contains state
ments regarding the corditlon OF tue
crops in Geocgia and the care and cal-
tivation of certain PRODUCES besides
much information of interest 10 all far
mecs ard others concerned in the pro
ducts OF the farm.
Comm issioper of Agriculture Stew
ems devoted large space to talk to
the farmers GA crop conditions. He
specially urges the farmers to save all
the hay possible from their lands. The
object of this, says the commissioner,
is because the recent d. bought in the
western states, where much of the hay
used to feed stock in the southern
states during the winter comes from,
has reduced the hay product OF the
west greatly, and it is probable hay
will be sold during the winter on the
Georgia market at as much as So pei
| ton.
