The west will have very little, if
any, hay for the south this year. If
it consents to part with any ot its
hay it will be because .it will he of
fered an extraordinary high price
for it. Bui there is no good reason
why the south should continue to be
dependent on the west for hay, or
even tor corn. It can produce all it
wants of both of these | roduyts. In
order to do so, however, It must give
more attention to them. ,
A great many southern farmers
think it small business to out grass
from their wheat fields or potato
patches for the purpose of making
hay ot it, butpit the western drought
turns out to ho as bad as it now
promises to be, they will think that
the hay business is a pretty big one.
