THIS YEARS CROP
Of HAY LARGEST
IN j. 5. HISTORY
Kansas City Dealers Believe It
Will Exceed 1OO,OOO,OOO
TOns-ShOrtage of
Cars Reported.

Kansas City. Aug. 3O.-Railroad traffic
in hay is feeling the effect Of the record
production Of that commodity. in the
United States this year. Kansas City.
the leading hay market in the United
States. has received only 400 cars since
the opening Of the new hay crop year
July l. compared with $500 cars the
same period Of 1914. Decreased receipts
are due to the fact that yields Of hay
and other rough feeds are breaking all
records, which has depressed prices on
the local hay market sharply.
1t is believed that the United States
will produce more than 100 900 900 tons of
hay this year, the largest crop In the
history of the country. The tame hay
yield is estimated by the department of
agriculture at 100000 tons, compared
with 7o,074,c9o tons in 1914 and the record
crop of 72,691,00o tons in 1912 In addi-
ton. it is estimated that prairie and
other wild hay will yield at least 30
100000 tons.
Present, prices of hay on the Kansas
City market are the lowest in years,
showing declines of 81 to s. a ton from
1914 The best prairie is bringing only
$3.50 ton and the best alfalfa only
300" a Ton.
According to statistics Of the depart
ment of agriculture the tame hay crop
last year was worth S779 06s, CO., The 1912
tame crop was worth 1856. 695 900. An
average Of only II per cent. of the tame
crop leaves the farms on which it is
produced

Hoosick Mr., Breese has flve-acre held
OF alfalfa from which on June is he cut
six tons of hay. A second cutting OF the
same field on July q yielded eight tons
more. At the present time there 10
third growth that will yield better than
ton to the acre. Mr.. Breese mas another
field OF three acres which he sowed to
alfalfa on June % The stand there is
now from "a to IS inches in height. Mr..
Brsese invites anybody interested to call

The man who pershes at work,
Or dies Of sun or fever-stroke,
Is not less brave than he who yields
His spirit In the battle-smoke.
So let the tribute of tear,
And words OF praise be not denied
To those who labored in the heat,
And ere they finished, dropped and died

The glory of martial death.
A place upon the scroll Of Fame,
Was not for them. oblivion
With darkness curtains every name.
But 10! their blood dement's the stones,
Their lives though all unglorified.
Are welded with this waterway:
Not one of them in vain has died,
At Panama.
They followed in the nations march.
Through burning sun and reeking mire
Until the deadly fever turned
Their hearts to ice and brains to fire.

From deep to deep shall long abide
