Many growers and feeders of Ida
no alfalfa are asking a forecast of
crop and prices that should prevail
Becuse of the lateness of the season
our reports are not all in from ada
cent states that produce hay entering
into competition with Idaho's alfalfa.
For that reason our forecast will be
delayed until about JGiy Is. Until
that time l would advise the farmers
not to contract their hay unless they
are satisfied with the price offered.
In order that there may be full un-
derstanding between the producers
and consumers, ana a price fixed that
will be just to both, we will hold a

having endured period of anxiety
