County Agent
Warns Farmers
On Hay Buying

Dudley N Peerv Prince Eli
ward county agent, has recon-
nlended that Virginia buyers of
hay take all possible precautions
that the hay they purchase d
feed is free from pesticldc resi-
due, due to the possibility Of
contamination Of milk and meat
BY The feeding Of contaminated
hay.
TO AVOID this danger. Peery
suggests thai farmers purchase
hay through the local hay deal
crs. II that way. the hay can
be checked as<fo its quality and
weed contamination
Furthermore, PeGry recon-
mcnds farmers not to buy new
hay from out-of-state. because
hay has to be stored for a
period Of 45 to 60 days before
being shipped BY rail, The hay
has to 60 through this sweat
period, otherwise it will mold
and lose All its color, going com
pletely out Of condition.
Another point to consider. says
Peery, in the purchase of al
falfa, is to be sure it is not
contaminated with heptachlor.
Farmers may secure a list OF
hay dealers from Pee1y if they
so desire.
