MIST BE DRIED

The food administration for Kan
sas has requested the farmers of
that state to dry their alfalfa hay
before baling. Heretofore there
have been controversies and rejec-
tions by consignees because alfalfa
was baled too green or while damp
from dew or showers. Such re-
jections not only cause loss TO ship
pers by having TO reduce the price
of hay to effect deliveries, but the
delays pending adjustments are
quite expensive because Of the in
creased demurrage rate. Approx
imately 100000 acres of alfalfa
hay are now being cut in Kansas.
