Haying has begun in this section
among the alfalfa growers and only |
O light crop will be the result. Ow- |
ing to cold weather, the alfalfa |
throughout the valley is of short /
growth and not luxuriant like other |
years. Another reason for shortage |
of alfalfa is the fact that many farm.
ers who had but light stands seeded
their acreage to barley this year.
Those who have alfalfa are looking
for good prices this fall and in view
Of the fact that wages will have to
be paid on a much higher scale this
year, this ought to be so.
Mrs. James Kirk is confined to her /
bed this week suffering from neural- ID
gia.
