Valley hay is selling for $22 per
ton, fob, ranch, the highest mar
ket since pre-depression days, cauS-
ed by shortage of supplies with
In the state.
Weather conditions, lack of sup
plies from central California, the
fact that much alfalfa is being used
for pasturage have combined to
create the present shortage, said
representatives Of the Imperial VAL

organization is shipping hay but
releasing its supplies gradually.
Until late in April or the first OF
May, Imperial Valley hay ship
