UTAH HAY FETCHES BIG
PRICES IN LOCAL MARKETS

II HERE was big stir in Utah earlier
in the year. the price of timothy
going up to $50 per ton last spring. and
alfalfa to SIS. and hard to get at that
This was due to the eight months
winter as well as the increase In the
amount of live stock accompanying the
growth OF population. An unpleasant
feature of the hay situation Is that
farmers are neglectlng to keep out tho
June grass which Is said to be creeping
fast In Utah meadows. Unless some
thing Is done to counteract this evil,
the quality average OF the Utah hay
crop will be rapidly lowered Deal
ers advise also an Increase in acreage
to supply the ever growing market. The
prices to obtain this winter Will large
ly depend on the weather. II the win
ter is open and mild. so that stock may
be pastured out, there Will be less con-
sumption. and prices will not rise alb
normally. But with a close hard
winter hay is likely to become very
scarce and high.

It is alleged that the prohibitive
practice in the production of home
made wines has been in existence sev-
eral years. A growing industry has
been the result, and there have been
many frauds. Officers OF the inter

distilled spirits have been put on he
market without the payment Of ir-

wine mash will have to be used on
