MARKETING HAY CROP
One of Leading Industries In
Many Parts of Country.
Much Difference In Demands of IndL
viduaI Markets-Certain Practices
In BaIing and Marketing
Should Be Corrected.
(By H. B. McLuRE.)


AS separate industry. growing and
marketing of hay IN the United States
Is comparatively new.
Prior to 1870 marketing was a sim
pie matter, and was carried on in a
somewhat haphazard manner. Little
hay was shipped more than 20 or 80
miles. In many instances the pro-
ducer sold his product directly to the
consumer, and there was little need
for standard grades or bales or for
other trade rules.
The growing of hay for the market
Industries in many parts Of the coun.
try. 1t is estimated that about % pei
cent. of the 1912 hay crop, or over
100000 tons, was removed from the
farms.
There is considerable difference In
the demands of the individual markets
in the various sections of the country
in regard to the size and weights of
the bale and the kind and grade Of hay
which brings the best price. Certain
practices in baling and marketing
cause loss to the producer, which
could be avoided If proper adher.
ence to the requirements of the mar.
ket to which the hay is shipped were
observed.
How to dispose of low grade hay is
vital problem with every one who
handles this class of hay, and every
dealer has more or less of It; usually
more low grade hay than any other
kind. The shippers, receivers, and
dealers can help much in solving this
perplexing problem. The country
buyer and shipper especially can help
materially, and should use every fair
means in his power to lessen the
trouble caused by low grade hay. The
first step in the right direction is for
the producer to learn the different
grades Of hay. 1t is just as important
for him as 1t is for the city buyer to
know the grades
II hay sells by grade in the country
the man who has the poorest product
will receive less than he does now. At
present the man who has choice hay
receives less than it is worth on the
market, and part of the profit which
the shipper makes on the good hay
must go to make up for the loss on
the poor hay.
With the present system OF buying
hay there is not enough difference in
the price paid for the better grades in
the country as compared with the
price paid for the lower grades.
Therefore, If the man who has No 2
hay receives within so or rs cents Of
the price of his neighbaor's choice hay
he is satisfied and thinks that it is not
necessary to take the precautions that
his neighbor did in order to get q
slight advance.
Standard grades Of timothy, clover,
prairie hay, straw, mixed hay, and
alfalfa have been adopted in the most
OF the important markets, and it Is Of
vital Importance to the producer to
know and meet the demands of the
markets to which he ships.

UNION REVIVAL SERVICES

The union evangelistic services are
increasing in interest day by day and
every service shows a growth of at
tendance and of sympathy with the
effort to secure a revival of religion
in our town. The services of We'd
nesday were all marked by a deep
spiritual concern on the part of all
who attended them for the salvation
of souls.
Rev. Bob" Jones gave a most in
teresting, instructive and inspiring
talk at the morning service, held in
the Christian church, on the subject
of soul winning as a personal work
on the part of all processing Chris
tians. Nearly every one present obli-
gated himself and herself to invite
some friend to the meetings.
The ladies' prayer meeting, held in
the Presbyterian church, was very
largely attended, and a deep interest
manifested on the part of all present.
Mrs. w. K. Zewadski conducted the
service.
Those who fail to attend these
meetings are missing a great oppor-
tunity to do and receive good, and it
is hoped that everyone will take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity to hear
Mr.. Jones, not only at one, but all of
his meetings.

MILLINERY OPENING

The feminine population of Ocala is
of course deeply interested in new
spring hats, and the familiar ques-
tion-What shall we wear?-is being
heard these days quite frequently.
Are the hats to be large or small?
Are they to have bandeauX, or are
they to still cover up our faces and
tickle the backs of our necks with
their brims? What color shall we
get? etc.
We are glad to state from obser-
vatons made that the hats are getting
smaller and less freakish, although
some very pretty large hats are be-
ing shown, and there will always be
few freak examples of millinery on
exhibition.
Wednesday Mesdames Haycraft
and DeCamp had their annual spring
and summer opening, and during the
day their parlors were visited by
large numbers Of hat seekers, and
some very pretty models in the new
est shapes and coIors were shown by
this enterprising firm. The light sum
mer shades are especially attractive
to our eyes, although quite a number
of black hats and dark shades are no
ticed in the displays.
The opening of Mesdames Haycraft
and DeCamp will continue today, and
everybody is invited to pay this store
visit

Disnuted Door.

A curious suit is reported from
Avignon, France. It is brought by an
antiquary to obtain possession of the
door of the city Of Alan, which he had
bought. Possession was refused on a
prior contract with another party, but
this contention was discovered. At
this stage it was discovered that an
old agreement existed prohibiting the
demolition of any part of the property.
This agreement is now being contest
ed, and it is anticipated that the sale
to the antiQuary will be confirmed.
