Calendar Is Needed
For Ohio Hay Fields

Perhaps the almanac Is not use0 as
farm equipment as frequently as in
past years, but the calendar still is
one Of the most valuable tools which
can be used in Ohio haymaking, ac-
cording to extension agronomists at
Ohio State University.
Moving by the calendar may re-
suit in a slight decrease in the total
weight of hay harvested but will
place in the barns a much better
quality of feedstuffs. The protein
content of grasses, clover, and
alfalfa decreases quite rapidly after
the plants start to bloom, and there
is a further loss of protein because
the leaves shatter more readily from
mature plants.
Farmers in the different sections
of the state should mark different
dates for starting the mower in the
fields. Mowers began clicking in
southern Ohio May % but should
not go into northern fields until
about 10 days later for the first
crop of alfalfa.
The important hay plants in the
state have different dates of ma
turity and these should be consider
ed in planning the haying season.
There is a gap of more than two
weeks between the proper times for
the first cutting of alfalfa and for
cutting timothy.
Dates recommended for cutting
alfalfa in southern Ohio are: first
cutting on bottoms, May 28 to June
A, and on upland, June 3 to 10;
second cutting on bottoms June %
to July 5; on upland July 20 to 27;
third cutting on bottoms August 3
to 10; on upland September to 15;
and fourth cutting on bottoms Sep
tember to 15. No fourth cutting
should be made on alfalfa in any
other place in the state.
Alfalfa cutting dates for central
Ohio are: first, June Z to ID; second,
July 20 to 27; and third, September
3 to 10. For the northwestern
counties, the best times to NOW are:
first cutting, June 7 to IA; second,
July 20 to 27; and third, September
l to z. Cutting dates for north
eastern Ohio are the same except
for the first cutting which should be
made June 8 to Is.
The penalty for delay in starting
the first and second cuttings of
alfalfa is only poorer quality hay,
but farmers who make the third
cutting later than the final recon-
mended date for their section of the
state are taking chances of running
the meadow for the following year.
Alfalfa needs quite long period
between the time of the last cutting
and winter to store food in the
roots.
Cutting dates for medium red
clover should be: southern Ohio,
June 3 to 10; central, June to 13;
and northern, June 8 to 16. The
time to begin cutting alsike clover in
each section of the state is the same
as for red clover but five additional
days can be used in each area for
completing the alsike harvest. Dates
for cutting timothy are: southern
Ohio, June ID to 25; central, June II
to 80, and northern, June 20 to July
5.
Seed production from the second
crop of clover or alfalfa is more GER
tain if the first cutting is made at
the recommended date. Second
growth will be slow in starting if
the first cutting is delayed and hot
dry weather Immediately follows.

The number of freezer-locker food
storages in Ohio now is 80 or more,
the construction is more rapid than
the means of gathering statistics.
One reason for the popularity of the
locker service with farm people is
that meats are preserved for use in
summer without materially altering
the flavor or appearance of this food.
