NEWS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND FARM FAMILIES
OF KENT COUNTY

ting up is an important factor
in deciding how complete a hay
making system you need, Mitch
ell said. If you are handling 200
or more tons of hay per year,
you may be able to justify a
heated-air drying system, Mitch
ell says.
The minimum cost of putting
in heated-air hay drier, with
all new equipment, will be in
the neighborhood of $500, ac-
cording to w. T. McAllister, eX-
tension farm management spec
ialist.
This investment will give you
a heating unit, tarpaulin, and
four wooden stake-side wagons
with slated floors. BY applying
some common american farm
er ingenuity, McAllister says
this figure can be cut to less
than $4,000. This means using
some good secondhand running
gear and building your own slat
bottoms for the wagons your
self.
Cuts Time In Half
For a smaller investment you
can get hay conditioner which
will reduce the time the hay
must lay in the field by one-half
to one-third.
Agronomist Mitchell says re-
search results around the coun-
try show that both the crusher
and crimper will help consider
ably. Although the crusher is
somewhat more efficient, reduc-
ing drying time by about SO per
cent, the crimper is rated about
even with the crusher because
it is simpler to operate, although
it speeds drying by about 80 per
cent, somewhat less than the
crusher.

Hay Conditioners
Can Reduce Costs,
Cut Time In Half

Do | need hay drier? That's
a question a lot of farmers have
asked themselves during the last
few years.
Research scientists at the Uni
versity of Delaware have been
working with new hay harvest
ing methods, varieties, mixtures,
equipment, palatability and nu-
trltional tests, as we'll as keep
ing track of the weather's effect
on hay harvesting and survey
ing farmers with drying equip
ment to compare their hay har-
vesting experiences.
Some of the conclusions they
have reached may be of value
in helping farmers decide just
how they should be handling the
hay on their farm.
William Mitchell, extension
agronomist with the University,
says there is plenty of room for
Improvement between the ex-
tremes of the old loose hay load
er and the ultra modern meth
ods of pelleting hay.
Most Field Dry
Most farmers are field drying
and baling their hay now. The
alternatives are: to buy a hay
conditioner, either a crimper or
crusher, or non-heated air
NOV drier, or a heated air drier,
or some combination of this
equipment.

Will the extra milk due to ad-

these questions carefully, you

Economist McAllister sug-
gests you consider the following
questions carefully before you
jump into hay drier!
Are you cutting your hay at
the right stage of maturity to
begin with? If you are cutting
hay that is already too old and
stemmy to make high quality
hay, it is too late to do it any
good by using a drier. Poor
quality hay comes out of the
drier the same way it went in
except for moisture coarse
and stemmy.
Cheapest Source
What is the cheapest source
of roughage in terms of total
digestible nutrients on your
farm hay or silage? 1t takes
ABOUT three pounds or Sllage to
equal one pound of hay.
What does it cost you to pro-
duce a ton of good quality field
cured hay Gncluding the value
lost because of weather dam
age)?
If you had drier, what do
you think a ton of hay might
cost you? Could you buy hay of
satisfactory quality at about the
same cost and use the land and
labor to produce other crops?
Are you worrying about the
right thing? Is it hay quality that
limits your income? Or, could
the money you would invest in a

Mr.. Revson replied.
Mr.. Lishman remarked that
this was after the current in
vestigation was underway.
Mr.. Revson acknowledged
that memorandums were made
Of the weekly meetings to dis
cuss the show, but he disputed
Mr.. Lishman's suggestion that
one of them suggested which
contestants would win and
which would lose.
Discussed Lineup"
Mr.. Lishman read from q
memorandum which said that
1--WE discussed the possible line
up" Of the next show and then
added that one contestant will
be disposed of one way or an
other. He viii win $4,000 or
quit"
II don't see anything wrong
with that" Mr.. Revson said.
Mr.. LiShman asked If the
memorandum was not discuss
ing who would stay on the
show and Mr.. Revson replied:
Absolutely not"
In his opening statement, Mr..
Revson cited a recent comment
by DR.. Evans, who prepared
questions and answers for the
shows. In the statement, DR..
Evans referred to "the greed"
of contestants.
Rising Sales Shown
Mr.. Lishman offered figures
showing the growth of Revlon's
net sales over a period of sew
eral years and asked:
DO you attribute any Of this
phenomenal growth to your
greed to acquire more sales?"

boost the company's sales from
$33,750,000 in 1854 to $110,-
363, 900 in 1858.
This gave the company, Mr..

tion in the cosmetic field, with
net cosmetic sales about twice
that Of the nearest competitor.

He said the producers had
complete control over the pro-
gram, but that he often made
suggestions.
MY suggestions ranged from
the broadest possible policy
matters to the narrowest details.
| I constantly asked that the
shows be fast-paced and OF
high dramatic value. I criticized
the writing, the way the con-
testants were dressed, the con-
versations that the NC had
with the contestants before the
questioning began. We discussed
every detail, large and small"
At the weekly staff meetings,
Mr.. Koplin testified yesterday
that Mr.. Revson would indi-
cate, often in blunt and un-
pleasant terms, whether a con-
testant should be dropped or
permitted to go on winning.
The producers would then use
their controls" effective in
about 80 per cent of the cases,
to bring this about, he said.

ducer of the two programs,
