Hay Growers M a y N o w Ship Hay to Nebraska Under Favorable Conditions. The ban on alfalfa from this section has been lifted In Nebraska by Gover nor Charles Bryan and Is welcome news to growers of this county. The quaran tine was lifted on hay from Malheur and Baker counties In Oregon and ten Idaho counties, including Boise, Can yon, Gem, Gooding, Jerome , Lincoln, Payette Twin Falls and Washington. Freight on hay to the drouth areas is $4.40 per ton and It Is estimated that $3 will bale the hay and put In aboard the cars. No. 1 hay Is selling In the Kansas City market for $27.50 a ton, so It Is plain that an outlet Is made avail able for the surplus hay of the Nyssa section at a price that will be profitable and at the same time without affecting the welfare of stockmen of this section who already have hay for their stock. Nine hundred cattle are now feeding In the Notus and Parma dlsticts, W. W. Godfrey, director of the federal sur plus relief corporation, says. The cattle are being fed on hay bought by the government and will be shipped to var ious points In Idaho for butchering as soon as the hay supply Is exhausted.
