HAY MARKET Is
UNSThPILIzED BY

T. J. Cameron, in charge of the
Hay Market News service at Los
Angeles ana Walter Morgan. in
charge of hay grading were present
II meeting OF the Imperial Valley
Hay Improvement Association held
ut the farm bureau office, Satur-
day afternoon, June p. \ consid-
erable number Of hay producers
were present.
Cameron discussed the present
hay market conditions i'll Los An
geles. lie stated that the market
was so unsettled. due largely to the
operation Of truekmen. that il was
difficult TO determine within three
or four dollars as to what the
market price really was. This un-
settled condition was deterring con
sumers from laying in large stocks
Of hay, as they usually do at this
time OF the year, making it diff
cult to dispose Of the large volume
of hay now moving. This should,
however, make = better demand
later on. He stated that produc-
tion had increased in Imperial and
Antelope Valleys, but that there
would be very little hay to come
out OF Owens Valley this year.
Morgan, spoke on hay grading,
saying the dealers were using the
grading on off grade hay. He
pointed our that the growers were
losing money by not having their
better quality hay graded is they
should be entitled to premiums ON
extra quality hay.
J. W. Donohoe of the S. p Co.
told of the effort he had been max.
ing 10 get reductions on hay rates
to eastern points, so that some Of
the valley hay could move III that
direction. He expressed the belief
that lower rates east would soon be
obtained
