This is the season when fires are easily kindled.
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.__________________________

stacking it uncut and allowing it to
form silage that way.
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.
