present weather conditions prospects are excellent for a good second crop of alfalfa which is badly needed on the majority of halton farms to supplement the short first crop the first crop of hay in

number of fields were observed in stook last weekend combining of the crop will likely be general this coming- week inci dentally the heads in general arc on the short side which does not auger well
