of exploring among men who go down
to the sea in ships"

expensive and heavy choppers,
whereas this may easily all be per
formed right on the ranch with a
great saving to producer and CON
sumer.
Imperial Valley is enjoying a
unique position in cotton and al
falfa crop cycle. Other southwest
crn valleys have found that cotton
is profitable and are using large
acreages which otherwise would be
growing alfalfa and thus produce a
much greater surplus which must
move through commercial channels to
the south, central and eastern states
So long as this crop cycle is main.
tanned the production of hay should
be quite profitable in Imperial Val
ley. 1t is interesting to note that
most Of the surplus hay produced
in Salt River valley is shipped east
while Yuma and Imperial Valley
ship most Of their hay to Los An
geles. A small amount of hay has
been shipped by water from San
Pedro to the Atlantic seaboard. Such
conditions as this should give con-
siderable stimulus to a chopped and
possibly sacked hay which would oc-
chpy much less space.
Consumers of hay should make
greater use of the U. s. grades, pay
ing for what they get, which will
be reflected in the producer making
better grade of hay for him. In
the, past good hay sold only rs hay
and there was no real incentive to
make it any better. Now with
terms of U. S. grades which producer,
dealer and consumer alike under.
stand there is very little cause for
any Misunderstanding in trading in
hay. AS the Imperial Valley rancher
is paid for high quality hay, will
he be interested In producing 1t.

PRODUCTION OF ALFALFA HAY
PROFITABLE FOR THIS VALLEY

TALLY cure in the swath. Cutting
hay very soon after irrigating and
early in the morning is conducive
to excessive moisture content in the
stems aud leaves. When practical,
moving should be delayed until mid
day so there will be a more rapid
curing. thus producing a grecncr hay.
The trend in this valley among hay
growers is toward a more intensive
and intelligent method of making
a L. $. No. l grade of hay.
Grading Helps Sales
Federal hay grading has been func.
tioring in Los Angeles for several
months with the result that much OF
the hay which is shipped by rail to

a noteworthy change in methods
of putting up hay for local feeding
is that of using "A portable loader,
chopper, and blower hook mp. This
method does away with all hand
work, omits baling and requires
| about one-third the space for stack
ing or storing. This chopped hay
stack is conically shaped or rounded
over and is so tightly packed that

a few inches. When portable chop

more practical and less expensive,

destined to pass through another
change. The addition of alfalfa

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK. January 14.-Shaking
off early irregularity today's stock mar
ket turned strong in the afternoon
under a combination OF short covering
and new buying. The turnover was
moderate. but both industrials and rails
worked upward.
All the rubber stocks were in de-
mand under leadership of United States
Rubber responding to the strength in
the market for crude. United States
Rubber was helped also by the more
active part in its management to be
taken by the du Pont interests.
Another development which encourage
ed the bull party in the later trading
was the strength in United States Steel.
It ran up some points influenced by
talk of favorable tariff action. The
bear element in the motor stocks beat
a retreat and Studebaker, Chrysler,
Nash and General Motors joined Hupp.
which had been strong early In the day,
in a spirited advance.
The spectacular feature of the after
noon. however, was the sudden run-up
in Allied Chemical. Selling at 272, it
was not only at new high for the
present shares, but up Is points on the
day. The irregularity in the forenoon
was due apparently to renewed doubt
about the credit situation. It was day
in which attention was paid to SPECIFIC
issues rather than to the market as a
whole.
The market held its strength through
out the last hour, numerous stocks I'M
proving on their earlier advances and
others coming to the front for the flrst
time today.
