Timothy and clover hays rang
| ing from straight timothy to

into three classes. as follows: Tim
othy hay. timothy and clover mixed
hay and clover hay. Grades are
based principally upon color but
such factors as stage OF maturity
when cut. brown leaf surfaces,
bleached heads and stems and per-
centage Of foreign materiai. aleo
are considered. Small tolerance for
weeds and other foreign materials
is allowed within the grade desig-
nations.
The number of grades vary
slightly for the various classes.
For the class timothy" there ara
six grades: Choice. 1. J. 3. I and
sample. For Glover hay" there
are grades Nos. /. :. 3 and SAM
