Hay Shipment
By Drought
of the State where dairy and
tnestock operation are greater
in size and number
Improved weather condi.
tions in late August and Sep
tember enabled many farmers,
to make up some of their
forage losses with late hay
cuttings However few har
vested enough of the crop to
carry them very far through
the winter months
For this reason, Connor
said, Farm Buieau will con_
tmue its emergency program
as long as it is needed.
Connor remarked the pro.
gram not only has made hay,
citrus and beet pulps and e*_
tender feed available, “it also
nipped in the bud a black
market which threatened to
push prices of hay to unwar
ranted high prices ’’
“Our farmer organization*
responded quickly and ade
quately to the emergency,"
the Cooperative manager not
ed, “ enabling many farmers
to survive the early stages of
this crisis We have brought
hay from points as distant as
'Minnesota, and pulp supplies
from the deep south and far
west ”
“Reduced freight fates
■made it possible for many of
these supplies to be moved
without creating extra flnaxt.
cial burdens on the farmers.**
“This cooperation by the
railroads and by many in the
trucking industry has won
praise from farmers in the
livestock industry,” Connor
said “Without this kind of
cooperation, many livestock
growers may have been forc_
ed to reduce their herds, or
even may have been forced
out of business ”
“Although the greatest
danger has passed, supplies
of hav and extender feeds pro_
babU will move in nearly the
same volume as m the past
two months until farmers
again can harvest hay crops
next Spring ”
