That alfalfa will soar to a higher
price plane than it ever has before in
the southwest, is the opinion of many
dealers in that prodnct. For the first
time in the southwest the farmers are
storing part OF their crop. Just how
much they have stored no one seems
to know, which makes the price very
uncertain The crop this year is just
one cutting shy of the usual yield.
owing TO a lack of water for irriga-
ton. Many growers in the valley are
allowing the last crop to run to seed.
Local dealers are fairly well stocked
at present, but the demand is only
fair. most of the users preferring TO
go TO the farmers themselves for hay.
As result of the short crop and the
storing of their crop by the farmers,
it IS believed by many that the price
will go higher than it ever has before
in this section Of the alfalfa growing
country.
Local dealers have made no changes
in prices on grains and alfalfa during
the past week. the following prices re-
