losses farmers were sustaining
when they shipped hay without
having it inspected and given a

of maturity and by letting alfalfa
hay lay in the swath until too dry
to retain the leaves.

bureaus and deciding on a definite
program of experimental work mos
desired at the farm was stressed
by Mr.. QuayIe.

beet contract had not been obtained
and that a meeting of the beet
