Hay Association Makes Suggestions
to Growers; Several Bales
Wanted for Exhibit
The first annual meeting of the
Hay and Grain show has come and
gone. The Oregon Hay Growers had
a large number of exhibits and
though not nearly so large a number
as were desired, every prize awarded
waB secured by a member of the as
sociation.
The Boardman boys marched off
with the first prize. One bale of
extra fancy hay, which took first
prize will be sent to the International
Hay and Grain show at Chicago, to
advertise th? quality of hay which is
produced here. The Hay Growers
Association would like to send three
of four extra fancy bales to this show
believing that the premiums secured
will lmore than pustify the expenses.
The lessons to be learned by the
grading exhibits and the prizes
award th bales will have this as out
standing: The alfalfa should be
sown as thickly as possible so as to
obtain a finestemmed quality hay.
The spring-toothing of the ground
should be continued as late as pos
sible in the spring to overcome cheat
grass. A little care in this particu
lar will make it possible to sell the
greater part of our first cutting hay
as choice alfalfa.

skilled club leaders, who were paid
bby their respective county. For the
second we were among the very
youngest there. We had to judge
against a team ranging from 15 to
18 years of age who have been in
clubs from 3 to 5 years. We hope
that in the near future Umatilla
county will aid us by paying our
club leader a small ium for taking
us around during the summer months
for practice judging. Then the next
time we would be liable to bring
home the first place for the famous
“Let’er Buck” county. Further
more if it had not been for Fred

not have taken fourth place.
