WHY HAY IS GRADED LOW. Success of Alfalfa In the West on Ir rigated Lands. Tho rules <>f the National liny asso ciation recognize Iwentydhree grades of hay, whleh seem lo fall Into live classes lltnothy, clover, mixed llmo thy and clover, wild grasses and al falfa. Choice lltnothy hay must he sound, properly cured, of hrlghl nntu ral color, not mixed With more than one t went lei h of other grasses ami Well baled. Lower grades of lltnothy are Nob. I, 'j and i'. and "no grade." Clover hay has two grades. No, I and No. 2. No. l clover must i?> medium clover, sound, properly cured, not mixed with more than Otio-tweilt letll of other grasses und well baled Choice alfalfa hay must be reasonably fine leafy alfalfa of bright green color, properly cured, sound, sweet anil well baled, tuber grades of alfalfa are Nos. I, 'J and 3 und "110 grade." These rules are used by most cities Hint have official Inspection. A large percentage of the timothy on the market is graded below No. I. The reasons are that many meadows are cut for years until they become weedy and mixed with other grasses and that I IKI.O of ALFALFA IN CALIKOIUUA. the bay is often cut loo late. s.. that it loses i he hrlghl natural color and pal > stability. If the farmer would send r., marl;el nothing but what the feeder considers go..i| he would gel a higher price. It might be neeOssury in some I cases to educate ihe country buyer ills,..

The hay crop of California Is one of our most valuable agricultural prod m ts, l.eing since p.K).", worth over Sol. fiOO.fMM). Alfalfa is Increasing yearly ia acreage and value.

The problem of weed efudii'itiIon is on,- i f ihe most sei'iOUS which con fl'onl the fanners of Iowa and ad joining states. Inning the lasi few yours a method of killing weeds b is been discovered which promises t<> greatly lighten the annual toll which tie- far.r pays to these pests. Tills new moiled consists in spraying the Woods with certain destructive UUP '.erials known as herbicides. Some of these herbicides, of which iron sill' phate is the most promising, will kill nearly all kinds of common weeds without injuring the oats, wheat or other crop in which they happen to he growing. In fact, in several cases the , sprayed grain was thriftier mid yield \ cd mote than that which did not re oolvo the treatment. This method Is 1 especially valuable for destroying mus tard in grainlields and dandelions and other weeds on la wns. California's Farmer Congressmen. John Pidwell and Timothy (J.
