RECORD HAY CROP
NARROWS MARKET
FOR POOR HAY
With a record hay crop In pros
pect large amounts of hay are like
ly to bo crowded into market chan
nels during the 1927-28 season and
farmers in hay shipping sections
are cautioned by the United States
Department of Agriculture to make
sure of their market before adding
tliu expeuseB of baling and ship
ping to poor quality hay. Kven
lust year when the supply of hay
was the smallest since 1018 the
arrivals at markets wore fully
lequul to consumers' needs and
I farm prices for the country" as u
-whole wero only .slightly higher
! iliiui In recent years. Should the
harvest this year be as large as Is
Indicated by July 1 conditions mar
kct arrivals of good hay are like
ly to be ample-while low grade
hay will probably find a draggy
market. Under such conditions in
tormer years many cara of poor
hay havo sold at prices which left
little up nothing for tho grower
after the costs of baling, Bhlpping,
and litindjliy; had been met.
A tame hay harvest nearly
3,500,000 tons linger than the rec
ord crop of 1024 Is forecast by tho
Crop Reporting Hoard from July
1 conditions, and liberal Aupplics of
moisture in most wild hay areas
have favored generous yields of
wild hay. There are fewer cattle,
horses, and mules to be fed from
this supply than In 1924. der'dedly
1 overbalancing the increaso - in
Bncep as xar as nay requirements
uro concerned. On tho other
hand, high prices for grain and
oilier concentrates, depending
largely upon tho outcome ot the
corn crop, may cause some Increase
In the hay fed this season-, over
that consumed throe years ago, al
though probably pot a material in
crease siuce com and oats wero
also high priced in 1021-25. A se
vere' winter would tend to incrcuao
the amount of hay needed,
Shipping demand for hav in gen
eral Is likely to be less active than
In 1026-27. L Practically, all sections
havo' good crops in prospect and
none reports a shortage. No hay
' from other sections is likely to be
shipped into the Northwest this
season, although last year 'the
near-failure of tho hay crop In
some sections necessitated a con
siderable movement of , hay - iuto
that- region. x Southern require
ments lire also likely to bo no lar
ger than ,ln 1920-27 when, generous
crops of grain and hay. -throughout
tho south together with low prices
lor cotton caused a decided reduc
tion in .the amounts of hay brought
In from southwestern and north
western states. The hay aoreage
in Iho south .shows a material iu
creuse tills, year and the crop is
forecast from July 1 conditions at
nearly . 10 per, cent above - last
year's outturn. '- This would. BUg
gest that even loss hav would be
needed , tunn in, 1926:27,: but the-ex-
pocien .increase in nay production
may be partially offset by reduc
tion in local supplies of-grain and
oi cottonseed nuns.
