MEANS STANDARDIZATION
Meeting in Niagara Falls Attend
ed by w. H. Carter and

The meeting Of the National

week in Niagara Falls. N. Y.
was attended by Mr.. W. +.
Stokes, of Macon, president of
the Mississippi Hay Association
and Mr.. WI. Carter secretary Of
the Columbus Chamber Of Com
merce. These gentlemen at
tended the convention as repre-.
sentatiyes of the hay growers Of
this section for the purpose of
getting the National Hay Asso-
citation to adopt grades on john

deza hays.
At a meeting of the hay grow
ers of this section held July 2 the
words in which the different
grades of these hays are de-
scribed were agreed upon. The
National Hay Association adopt
ed these grades in almost the
same words, making no material
changes.
Our representatives carried with
them a sample bale of alfalfa
and one of Johnson grass. They
report that the Mississippi alfal-
ia far surpassed all other alfalfa
shown, though there were sam
Piles on display from probably
fifty different sections. 1t was
conceded by everybody that our
ailaita was Inc pieAiel Uaic OIL
display. Our representatives
showed the prairie soil that the
alfalfa grew from. The john
son grass created much interest
as practically all the delegates
had never seen this hay.
Messrs. Stokes and Carter say
they were treated royalty and
express themselves as entirely
satisfied with the trip and both
are singing the praises of the
National Hay Association.
The adoption of these grades
will standardize these hays,
though of course it is too much to
it to do so all at once. As these
grasses will be published in the
grade book of the National Hay
Association it is believed that the
market for them will be material
ly widened and they will become
better known in the hay trade OF
the country.
Tue National Hay Association
provided for travelling h y IL
spector, whose bu mess it will be
to visit the various hay markets
of the country and work to estab-
lish in each a uniform interpreta-
tion of the national grades. This
is ep forward that will be of
great assistance to our hay grow
ers and shippers.
This conventioo was regarded
by the attending delegates as one
of the best that has been held for
many years, being characterized
by real constructive work.
The Mississippi Hay Growers
Association meets at the A. and
