several reasons why growers
should avoid, high topping; 1)
they handle less leaves; 2)
stalks hang 'better and freer
•when not too long; 3) the top
leaves are generally immature

shed, 4) if growing weather
stays dry, the top leaves won't
finish out.
Another word of caution put
forward by Mann, when the
tobacco plants are cut early
the grower shouldn’t be in a
hurry to pack them tightly in
Ids shed. Leave a flue open

piltting about three laths
somewhere else for a few days
before filling shed.

tMORE HAY
Haymor means just what its name say:
... you get more hay. In 20 different
comparison trials in northern states,
Haymor outyielded Vernal by an aver
age of 4%—and in at least one case
outproduced Vernal by 22%. In six
of these trials where Ranger was also
grown, Haymor averaged 12% more
hay than Ranger. Haymor means more
hay and more profit for you.
LASTS LONGER
"haymor is an unusually vigor
ous variety that performs well
under all types of soil H
where alfalfa is grown.
Because of good disease
resistance and hardiness, it lasts
longer and provides better
hay and pasturage.
MATURES EARLIER
Haymor— similar to Du Puits
matures earlier than most other /"■> /
alfalfas. In fact, Haymor is only &
about two days later than Du Puits A to? j
—3to 4 days earlier than most ) '
U.S. alfalfa types. -

vigor, makes it ideal for noi

well. This ability to hold on to its
protein-packed leaves meaiis it
