EMERGENCY
HAY PROGRAM

Dairymen in Cecil county, Md, or
dered 81 cars of hay under the Emer-
gency Hay program conducted by
Southern States Cooperative o
Commodity Credit Corporation in the
drought areas of Maryland, Della
ware, Virginia, West Virginia, Penn
sylyania, and North Carolina, COM
prising 81 counties, during the period
beginning in September and ending
February IT.
Cars of hay ordered by Maryland
and Delaware dairymen totaled A.
226 and Alb, respectively; the total
for the drought areas was 11,46O.
With part of the cost of the hay
borne by CCC, dairymen saved at
least SIS ton.
Much of the hay was higher In
grass and lower in legume content
than dairymen desired" DR.. I. X.
Wolfe, Richmond, Va. director OF
the hay purchasing and distribution
program, said, but 1t was necessary
to ship some hay of this type to sup
ply the tonnage needed. The quality
complaints, however, averaged less
than 3 per cent which was remark
ably low figure The general feeling
is that the program launched In Sep
TENDER when a widespread liquida-
ton of dairy herds seemed imminent
in the counties in which the drought
had most seriously damaged nay
crops, helped to prevent heavy liqui-
dation of dairy cattle and made pos
sible the production of milk needed
by consumers in vital war areas such
as Washington, Baltimore, Rich
mond and Norfolk-Hampton. The
hay was supplied to dair y m n
through established local farm sup
ply dealers or farmer cooperative
associations.
81 believe that if dairymen here
had not gotten Government hay,
many of the better dairy herds would
have had to go out of business, Col.
r. w. Walker, Evansville, Md, whose
Holstein herd is on test, said recent;
ly in discussing the hay program.
