making hay while the rain falls this reversal of the adage is effect ed in states where wet weather dur ing haying time has normally prevent ed the raising of forage cropsby newly devised methods of

it will enable his state to compete with the hayproducing re gions of the west he writes alabama is bidding for a share of the wests prominence in the haypro ducing field her problem is different from that of tho western states where it is necessary to supply water by irriga tion in this state it is necessary to yemov the moisture from forage crops each year in alabama an aver age of 42 to go inches of rain falls of this 20 to 40 inches falls during the hayharvesting season may to october there also are heavy dews this means that about 75 per cent of tho states hay crop is rained on bleached by tho snn and stripped of its leaves during the fieldcuring pro cess making it difficult to obtain bet ter than a fair grade of hay mechanical dehydration overcomes this difficulty and changes production of forage crops from a gamble on the weather to a scientifically controlled manufacturing process making it pos sible to makq hay while the rain falls it hermits cutting and curing

who always wins or who always loses and yet some players deserved ly or otherwise get that reputation it is very useful to have a reputation for good luck it not only gives your partner confidence in
