Shipping Hay Too Early.

TVERY YEAR when new hay begins to be
= marketed. reports from several Central West
hay markets show that much of the
hay arriving is hot and out of condition, and must
be sold at heavy discount under the price quoted
for No. hay. There are number of causes. but
the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates of the
United States Department of Agriculture believes
the principal is that the hay is baed and shipped
before it has cured sufficiently and while 1t contains
too much moisture
1t is the custom in some sections to bale the
hay from the windrow or cock in order to avoid
the expense of stacking putting it in the 1t
is almost always true that the FIRST hay shipped
to the various markets is baled in this way In most
of the timothy producing sections weather conditions
such that it is not safe to allow the hay to
main long in either the windrow cock if the best
quality of hay is to be obtained. Local showers
heavy dews. followed by hot sun. will soon cause
it to bleach and deeriorate. 1t is, therefore, the
practice to bze just as. in the judgment OF
the producer shipper the hay be safely shipped
This is frequently entirely too for the condi-
tions under which it is marketed.
The movement of hay from dry to humid
section, from a cool to warmer one, increases
the probability of heating. Tight balng and close
packing in the cars contributing and apply
to alfalfa and prairie hay well as to timothy.
The premiums usually offered for early ship
ments of new hay are very inviting. The first new
hay if in good condition, often sells near the high
price Of old hay which, the draws to close,
is frequently high. The hay is heavier too. and
tie shipper profits from the sale OF the water in it.
even though it sells below the price of old hay The
chance of getting these premiums causes many ship
pers to take the risk OF the losses that continually
occur. 1t is very doubtful, however, if the premiums
equal the losses during the first week two Of the

great fruits of the world India, with its hundreds
of millions of people has for centuries held sacred
and celebrates annual ceremonies in its honor It is
a fruit the Importance of which Americans are be-
ginning to recognize, Several fine varieties prac-
tically free from fiber. They can be eaten with a
spoon as easily as a muskmelon. These are not to
be confused with the worthless seeding mangoes Of
the West Indies
The Hayden mango is a particularly fine example
OF the peach of the tropics" 1t is a seeding of
the first East Indian mango brought to America.
The original plant brought here by the United

field Station at Miami, Fla. Extraordinary care was
necessary at first to protect il from frost 1t was
three times seriously threatened The fruit of its
seedlings show a much finer development than those
the parent plant bore. ...
This type Of mango, when ripe, is about the size
OF an avocado. 1t is smooth egg-shaped with bril-
liant red colorng, shading off to luscious yellow.

Coffee is extensively grown but little OF reaches
the States. The report for 1920 OF the Porto Rico
agricultural experiment station under the supervision
OF the United States Department OF Agriculture at
Mayaquez indicates agricultural improvements which
should benefit owners. laborers, and ultimately the
consumers in this country who pay higher prices
when any commodity is produced by waseful or
costly methods.
The prosperity of the island for FIVE centuries
has been dependent agriculture. And there is no
coal or water power, Porto Rico will never become
a manufacturing country. In climate and beauty OF
surroundings, the island is ideal Living conditions
are constantly being improved, although there are
too many poems, laborers. who do not command
a living wage under present methods.
1t is difficult to get Porto Rican planters to
grow rice and other crops in rotation with cane in
order to benefit the SOIL Because OF recent high
prices for sugar the lands have keen kept in cane too
long Specialists in the experiment station have
warned planters prepare for fall in sugar prices

bean and hemp, give promise as rotation crops
