BAL|NG AND MARKET
ING ALFALFA HAY

There is no crop on the farm
that requires more attention and
good judgement than baling and
curing alfalfa hay. j have shipped
over 500 cars of hay in the last 1S
months and am writing altogether
from the viewpoint of a shipper.
Our first crop is usually ready
to harvest about May 18th. Some
commenced before that time this
year, but on account of excessive
rains there is about one-half the
crop not harvested at this date,
June 18th. Some having hay cut on
the low land had it washed away
by high water.
The first crop being the heay-
lest, and the weather being cool and
very often wet, is the hardest to
cure and as a rule we have a
large percentage of No. first cut
ting alfalfa.
For market we advocate baling
from the windrow as it saves the
leaves better, andSwe have learned
that alfalfa hay can be baled as
soon as it can be stacked but
must have proper care afterwards
We pile it in the barn loosely and
place the pales on edge the same as
they come from the press. Ut is
better to cross pile them az it al
lows more space for air circulation.
The disadvantage in putting hay
in the barn and baling later is that
if it should pe dry, there is a great
loss of leaves and as the "clinging
foilage" is always mentioned in the
grading OF the higher grades OF al
falfa il is we'll to understand the
meaning.
Ii the first crop is intended for
market it should be stored at least
four weeks to allow sweating" OF
curing out, but really should be
kept for winter feeding, as there
is always a better demand for it
at that time.
After the first crop dairymen are
good buyers but they must have
''soft" hay and to get this it must
be cut early and mot allow the stem
to get woody, then to keep the fine
color it must be raked and cured
in the windrow. Just little toe
much sun will make a difference
of from 81 to So per ton OH the
market.
In Lyon county, Kansas, great
many farmers have not enough barn
room for all their alfalfa but use
stack covers made from metal roof
ing and some use common boards
fastened together to lap over like
shingles and weighted down at the
edges. This is much better than
stacking alfalfa the old way as il
will not turn water like the wild
hay.
AS nearly as can learn, small
patch OF alfalfa was grown in Lyon
county about 35 years ago. About
18 years ago it was recognized as
a paying crop and sown in good siz-
ed fields but it has only been a
short time since alfalfa was baled
and put on the market and at that
time sold for less than prairie hay,
but at the preesnt time is selling
for $4 more in Kansas City. Lyon
county has about 10000 acres in
alfalfa and we get four crops a
year usually but last fall. being very
warm and no frost until November
1st.. a great many cut five crops.
The price the last two years has
been from SO to SIS on track here
and has made our alfalfa farmers
independent.

REQUIRES more attention and good
judgement than baling and curing
alfalfa hay.''-A. B. Hall, Kansas.
