BIG CROPS THIS
fln YEAR FOR THE U. s.

The largest hay crop in the history
of the country is predicted for this
year, according to advance reports
received In this city. Weather con-
ditions In the middle western states
this spring have been peculiarly
adapted for the growing OF grasses
and the latest government report
placed the development to date at
93 per cent. This is an unusual
figure. SO great is the interest in
wheat and cotton that the import
ance to the country of a good hay
crop sseldom fully realized. It's
value each year, however, Is over a
half billion dollars, and last year
It was the second most vufuable
crop grown in the United States,
outranking both wheat and cotton
and exceeded only by corn. Hay has
the unique distinction of being the
only agricultural product approach
ing Il in importance which is never
sold for future delivery and that Is
absolutely dependent for its price
on the daily Quotations OF supply
and demand. In the case of the
cereals and cotton the producer is
able to sell his product at a figure
made in a world market and miller
or manufacturer by buying for fu-
ture delivery can tell beforehand
what his -four or his cotton Goth !s
going TO cost him. Large users of
hay, however, do not know from one
day to another what price they will
have to pay Chicago consumes 20
carloads of hay day. or nearly
100000 tons a year. Much of this
comes from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, and
even from points as distant as Kan
sas, Arkansas and Indian Territory.
New York and Pennsylvania are the
banner hay states, with Iowa a
close third.
