The surrounding desert area and roadsides are per fect tinder for a match or cast away cigarette. Due to a long season of moisture the plains have heavier growth of grass and weeds, and these are now dry. For the first time known, lightning streaked the sage and grass plains near here and set fires. This hap pens every year in the mountain regions, but is a strange electrical phenomana on the plains or untim bered uplands. For nearly three months this dry condition will prevail in our area, and all citizens, campers, travelers, smokers and homeowners should remember that a match is a very dangerous little thing to use or play with carelessly. That little fiery end, and the butt of a cigarette, contains within them great danger to life and property unless we take heed. During World War I, the prices of hay soared. Much land was then planted and restored to alfalfa production. This was attributed largely to the de mands for butter fat and meats for war needs. The season is on again, but not yet in such a degree, though another year may find the same inflation. With reported shortages of hay and an increased number of cattle and sheep during the last few years, history may repeat itself. Added to the prob lem is the ever increasing areas in pastures through increased seeding and proper care, which has a ten dency to increase the number of mouths to feed on the lucious grasses. Where and how the scales may balance is now unpredictable. Parity makers may find a big job ahead.__________________________ HOW TO MAKE HAY WITH FEW MEN IS PROBLEM Shortage of labor plus inability to liehune new labor-saving machine- are increa ing the troubles of season.

Jackman says that even with stacked uncut grass silage, the loss in feed value isn’t half as great as when grass hay is allowed to get so mature that it is worth little more than straw. Any kind of grass si lage, however, requires the addition of either molasses or grain to insure the desirable type of fermentation. Any county agent can give directions ! as to this. In making alfalfa hay with few men it is possible to cut part of the alfalfa before it reaches bloom stage and keep on until the last is in full bloom, rather than cutting it all at one time in partial bloom. Early cut alfalfa makes the best hay, but too early cutting is hard on the plant, hence it is best to reverse the order of cutting for the next crop, says Jackman. Hauling direct from wind- rows is another labor-saving device inasmuch as there is nothing gained by shocking and it may even be a det riment in rainy weather.
