are almost always based upon the
claim that the hay is not up to grade,

When the producer notes the wide
difference between the price which he
has received for his hay and the price
quoted at the adjacent market. he
feels that the shipper or dealer is TAX
ing advantage of him and is making
too large profit. The producers de.
sire to share in this supposedly large
profit is one of the principal causes
of the cooperative wave that is now

Many Of the irrigated sections Of
the Southwest do not ship more than

shippers. who also conduct other busi-

The irrigated areas of the south
western United States can produce {,
high market grade of alfalfa hay. but
there are several difficult problems
that must be solved in order protita

of the bureau of markets and crop es
Inmates. United States Department OF
agriculture
I Method Of eaIing.
The first step which has a direct
bearing upon the marketing of alfal.
ia is baling. The rainfall in the South.
! west is exceedingly light during the
hay-making season. and for this re:l.
son much Of the hay is bnled out Ot
the windrow or cock.
When hay is baled from the wind

all the leaves. 1t cannot be pressed
tightly because of the danger of
heating, and shippers therefore fire.
luently experience considerable diff
Guilty in loading cars with the mini.
mum weight for which they pay
charges. Hay which has been stacked
and allowed to dry can be baled more
compact. but in baling stack hay many
Of the leaves shatter because of the
lryness. According to the application
by many inspectors of the present
grade rules. this hay is of lower
grade than when the leaves cling to
the stems, notwithstanding the fact
that the leaves may be contained in
the bale.
T. Sources Of Trouble.
Bleachetl hay, together with weeds,
causes considerable trouble in mar
keting alfalfa. 1t is well known that
alfalfa hay bIeaches quickly when ex-
posed to bright sunlight, but there is
q wide difference Of opinion as to just
the amount Of nutrient that is lost
In bleaching.
Commercial grade rules. however,
are based in part upon this factor.
Producers and shippers in these sec
lions contend that too much weight IS
given the color factor in tile present
commercial grades for alfalfa and not
sufficient weight to its feeding value.
From Investigations recently made
by the bureau Of markets and crop
estimates, it appears that when the
present grading rules are rigidly and
technically applied, as is frequently
the case on declining markets. it is

Atlanta A. (. Cage Outfit Ambitious
 For Dixie Title

Atlanta, December si,-(Speeials) The Atlanta Athletic club tatsted a whole mouthfal of glory last year at the National A, A, U, basketball tournament at Kansas City, The taste was sweSt, though the club got no further than the seml-finals.
 From th6 looks of things around on Auburn avenue, though, that mouthful at Knasas City wasn't nearly enough, The club Is out to reach the finals this year and maybe the championship.
 Certainly there Is every indication that the going Is going to be in- tensely Interesting to everybody that opposes the A. A, c.
 When 1t Is considered that Alfred Scott, one of the best oasketeers that the University of Georgia ever turned out, and Hahn, who was an outstanding southern collegiate star for Auburn last year, have been lined up to reinforce the veterans that have returned to the tutelage of Joe Bean, the full potency of the A. A. c. may be dirnly foreseen.
 Of course. Lewis Morrison and Johnny Westmoreland are going to be missed, If they remain grim and determined and stay out of the game, but with the two new additions and Joe's band of entirely capable second-string men of last year to work along with Rufus Bass, Scrappy Sullivan and Johnnie Graves, Colonel Al Doonan, the perennial manager of the A. A. c. quintet will have noth- ing to trouble himself about-not to any serious degree.
