Did  you  do  it  this  year?  Do  you  believe  it  can  be  done? 
If  you  were  planning  to  raise  4  tons  of  well  cured  hay  per  acre : 
What  type  of  soil  would  you  select  and  how  would  you  prepare  for  a  maximum  crop? 
When  would  you  seed  and  how  much  seed  would  you  use  per  acre? 
Would  you  sow  a  mixture  of  grasses  and  clovers  or  only  one  grass? 
When  would  you  cut  your  hay  to  secure  the  greatest  quantity  and  the  highest  feeding  value? 
Would  you  seed  with  a  nurse  crop  ?  If  so,  what  nurse  crop  and  what  quantity  of  seed  would  you  use? 
Would  you  plan  for  a  permanent  mowing  or  seed  your  grass  land  in  your  regular  rotation? 
Our  new  book  entitled  “THE  NEGLECTED  HAY  CROP”  answers  all 
of  these  practical  questions  and  contains  64  pages  of  helpful  information 
in  regard  to  the  hay  crop.  This  book  is  prepared  for  practiced  farmers  who 
wish  to  increase  their  profits  as  well  as  the  yield  of  their  hay  land.  The 
allied  armies  need  all  of  Canada’s  hay.  The  American  farmer  thus  has 
practically  a  monopoly  of  American  markets.  Can  you  supply  the  hay  ? 
If  you  will  tell  us  the  number  of  acres  which  you  expect  to  cut  in  1917 
we  will  send  you  a  copy  of  our  Hay  Book  without  charge.
