".My relate -m& PULLING FOR UN CLE S A M These sweating men pull ... iiLti-yp ran BASIN NOTED A complete clean-up of the 1941 Klamath hay crop empha- oilGS tho iiripuTMftiiCe Of Jul! liny production , this year, County Agent C. A. Henderson said Fri day. Ordinarily, Henderson stated, there is a carry-over of from 10, 000 to 20,000 tons of hay from one season to another in the Klamath basin. This year, there is no surplus. Henderson attributed this to late feeding in the spring, increase in the number of cattle In the area, and heavy, dairy feeding. A hay crop clean-up such as occurred this year is almost un precedented. A somewhat simi lar condition occurred in 1826 or 1927. The county agent said that cold temperatures in the late spring made the first cutting of this years alfalfa crop unusual ly light To meet the situation. the agent said, farmers will probably put up more grain hay this year than usual. He also anticipates there will be little wasting of hay this year. It is important, he said, that there be plenty of labor to han dle the hay harvest in the basin, to help insure the fullest pos sible production. Last year, the crop totaled more than 150,000 tons.
