According to a report received last

this year was the coolest in the his

fact conditions were favorable to ag-
riculture. The monthly mean temper
allure was 5O.4 degrees with a high of

DANE COUNTY EXPERT
ADVISES HAY SAVING.

In bulletin issued by A. l.. Stone,
emergency food agent for Dane coun-
ty, the expert calls attention strongly
to hay harvest methods. Mr.. Stone
says that a majority of the Wisconsin
clover and alfalfa seedlings are with
out doubt the best in years. In spite
OF this fact hay will bring big price
next winter as much of the hay land
has been plOwed up for food crops.
Mr.. Stone urges the use Of canvas hay
caps as the difference between a good
hay crop and poor one will pay sew
eral times for caps to shelter a field.
He also urges thorough cultivation
to conserve the moisture on clay and
clay loan soils where the surface is
apt to be packed hard allowing the
moisture to escape readily. Dry days
may come and by breaking the crust
and forming dust mulch on the top
the moisture will be held in the soil.
