Today he is getting $40 year. He.

three Of whom are now dead-eight

What to do with low-grade hay has
long been vexing problem to the hay
trade. Losses running into the thous-
ands Of dollars annually have been suf-
fered by producers because Of the DIFF
fculty encountered in disposing Of hay
that is improperly prepared for mar
ket, or is of mixture that causes It
to be regarded as of low grade. @

keting Hay at Country Points, recent
ly issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, the failure to
remedy this situation is ascribed to
two chief reasons: The producer and
the dealers do not yet agree as to what
constitutes quality in hay. and many
producers lack vital market informa-
ton regarding the preparation Of hay
Tor terminal and consuming markets.
Color Counts Most.
Quality Of hay is at present in

on the stove contains his Sunday din
ner, which he has prepared for him
self, consisting of white navy beans
and fatback. These beans are now
costing him twenty-five to thirty cents
quart, and the fatback costs him
forty cents pound. It could have
been purchased few years ago for
seventeen cents pound, and the beans
for ten cents. He does not get any
to buy It.
ITO my mind It seems a pity that
the United States government should
employ men Of that type, or any other
type for that matter, and not give
them enough to live on decently. It
is particularly pity in this case be-
cause he is. somewhat superior to
many of the employees. He has
stayed with us as a matter Of faithful
ness to the government, and has
stayed with us when he could make
more in one week outside of the gov
eminent than we pay him for one
month.
'Others have left us, but instances
of that kind have been very few. At
one time l had in our auditorium our
employees and made an appeal to
them to stand by us during the war
period, and there were more than 800
of them present, and they all of one
accord assured us that they would
stand by us and would give us the
benefit of their labor in our depart
ment during the war period, notwith-
standing the fact that the price for
labor outside was great deal more"
This curious pride in their work and
loyalty to the government and the
government service was thing that
cropped up in the most unexpected
places.
AS one employee put it: II think you
will find that every service seems to
be quite proud of its work. know
you will find it in our service as far
as compensation and such as that are
concerned. The pay in this Office is
small, but that element, that feeling
in mans mind that he is really help
ing to accomplish good work and
helping this government to function
we'll, is really part of it. find in all
my talks with employees that they
really feel proud Of their work, and
that pride is really what gets things
done. I think that is true everywhere
in the whole service, and particularly
throughout the executive depart
ments."
That Is curiously true, and It Is one
Of the reasons, possibly the chief rea-
son, why men stay on in the depart
nents year after year at q low rate
Of pay and not much possibility Of
promotion.

grades highest, and consequently brings
the most money, is usually that having
the best natural green color. Hay
dealers can often tell from the color
whether hay was cut early, medium,
or late, and in their opinion the best
hay is the early cut hay and the
poorest that which was cut late.
The average hay grower, however,
in some sections at least, does not
agree with the terminal market theory
Of quality as indicated by color. Many
producers prefer medium or late cut
hay, especially for horses, because It
is easier to cure and not as "washy'
40 early cut hay.
In some markets size and weight
of bales is an important factor, since
there is sometimes a difference Of sew
eral dollars ton In the same grade
Of hay in small OF large bales. The
reasons for the demand for certain
sizes and weights are numerous and
not always based on facts. it is said.
However, as In many other kinds Of
trading, It pays the seller to aim to
meet the desires Of the buyer.
Undesirable Mixtures Cause Loss.
The production Of undesirable MIX
lures for the market will cause loss
to the producer as long as the market
does not want mixtures. Certain Of
these are discriminate ted against regard
less Of their true nutritive or feed
ing value. The producer may know
positively that certain mixtures are
palatable and contain more total d.:
gestible nutrients than the kinds now
In greatest demand, yet he ID power
less to make feeders realize their value.
The Introduction and general use Of
Q. new kind or mixture Of hay Is Z

Of clover and alfalfa.
About the only wa, TO avoid trouble
with undesirable mixtures, says the
