AND BIG ORDERS Hospital - , eaaaaw When to Cut Hay For Making Best Product "Cutting the crop at the pro per stage for hay iR important. If cut too soon, a light washy hay will result and if delayed past the proper stage, a course unpalatable and indigestible pro duct. Cut clover when in full bloom and with one-tenth to one third of the blossoms turning brown. For cows it may be cut slightly earlier. Cut alfalfa when coming into bloHsom, but better still watch the basal shoots at the crown of plant and cut when one to one and one-half inches long. This is your second crop coming on. Don't wait to cut until these are long enough to be clipped off. Vetch should be cut for hay when first seeds appear in pods. If growing with grain, the grain should be in milk or soft dough stage." These are the views of J. K. Laraon, Agronomy Extension specialist of the Oregon Agricul tural College, on the best time to cut hay. Mr. Larson continues as follews: "Crasses are cut usually at, or just before blooming time; the rye grasses should be cut before blooming as they become woody; timothy for market hay at bloom ins time. It does not deteriorate so runidlv anil mnv he allowed to ..- . , ,, .. j .. pass bloom before cutting; red top also can stand slightly longer in field than rye or oat grasses. "drain hay (oats, wheat, etc.) should be cut just between milk and soft dough stage for best quality. Many try to get grain and hay both. What is gained m grain is more than off set by what is lost in the hay or forage. The nutriment is in the stalk and forming grains at the soft dough I staee and nnsses ranidlv into the' grain as it nears ripening. It will pay to cut the grain hay at the proper stage."

Unfortunately, the charter of the City of Portland requires that goods be purchased from the lowest bidder, regard less of the source of the goods, so that, until the charter is changed by vote of the people, that city will bit unable to com ply with the provisions of the bill.

Good Roads Are a Boon to The Farmers Speaking of the American road congress in Detmit, Secretary Houston of the deparlmenl of agriculture put the entire argu- i men t for improved highweys in one sentence. He said the es sential thing is to provide good roads which will get products from the community farms to the nearest station and make rural life more profitable, comfortable and pleasurable. That is the good roads argu ment in a nut shell, but the far mer is not the only one who will profit, by his ability to reach the the nearest market at a minimum cost. Good roads are a great a"d took up land with the im- thing of a puzzle. They spend asset to the farming community, I pression that a railroad would ex- money in other parts of the state, and to the same degree they are tend into the Valley in the imme- yet leave this line at a point an asset of the city, the county, I'liate future, have been doomed, where they have to operate at a the state, the nation.

Of these about 226,000 miles, or approximately 10 per cant are classed as improv ed. The loss to farmers through unimproved highwavsis illusirat- ed by the fact that the cost of carrying the American farmer's products to market is 2A times the cost of haul to English Ger- man or French farmers. The United States office of pub-1 lic mads has estimated that the improvement of 440,000 mites of highways would save $400,000,- 000 annually in hauling charges. The average haul to market in this country is placed at eight mile, and the cost is estimated at 26 cents a ton mile. It costs the average American farmer jmore to haul a bushel of wheat to the nearest railroad Station than I it costs to carry the same wheat lirom New York to Liverpool.
