A PROFIT IN
HAY MAKING
Farmers Can Own Modern
Machinery on Co-opera
tive Plan.
While we 'are seeking relief
from overproduction of cotton
and tobacco, let’s also seek relief
from the underproduction of hay.
We have just seen five wagons
in a row hauling Western hay to
Southern farms!
Never has there been so invit
ing an opportunity for growing
an adequate supply of hay for all
home needs as now. A surplus
is needed. Good prices are paid
for good hay. Our standards of
hay have too long been based up
on the standards of other sec
tions. We do not realize that
we can produce in kind, quality,,
and quantity better hays than
the North and West have been
selling us at high prices.
Hay-making invites co-opera
tion, especially in harvesting and
baling on the small farm. Mow
ing machines, hay rakes, and
hay presses may or may not be
economically owned by the in
dividual small farmer, but they
may be very profitably owned by
a group of farmers and be of all
the service to each farmer that
they would be if he were sole
owner. A co-operatively owned
baler should also mean co-opera
tive mowing, raking, cocking,
and hauling as well as baling,
and when there is a surplus of
hay, co-operative marketing.
A hay press costs now about
$125. Can the small farmer af
ford to pav this much? Yes, he
can. He can afford to pay for a
press if he has the hay to be
pressed. The cost of baling hay
is balanced by the saving in
storage space for the home sup
ply and by the saving in cost of
hauling and shipping marketed
hay. A hay press with good
care should last ten or more
years. A $125 press will cost
you $12.50 per year. Os course
you can afford it.
But this is not the plan we
want you to follow. Suppose you
join with four of your neighbors
and jointly own and operate the
press. Then the $125 press will
cost you only $25 for its use *for
ten years. This makes your
press cost you $2.50 per year,
plus upkeep and repairs, and by
being progressive and by saving
four-fifths of the cost for each
co-operator, you at the same time
remove one of the obstacles that
has been in the way of produc
ing your own hay.
Is this worth thinking about?—
