HAY. 



A moderate increase in the hay acreage was noted in 1923, due mainly to more 

 sweet clover, alfalfa, millets, and other hay crops being seeded on non-irrigated lands. 

 In some irrigated sections there were also indications of more land being put into alfalfa 

 and timothy. The production of more hay is in line with the desire to produce more 

 feed crops for local use. The wild hay acreage is fairly constant, moisture conditions 

 in non-irrigated localities controlling to some extent the acreage cut, as well as the yield.
