A mistßke i* being made this year by a number of our farmer? with regard to the hay crop. I have noticed already several cases where it i« time to cut the crop but where the farmer is presumably deferring cutt;ng because the rains have not beon as bountiful as could be wished. In most districts tho hay crop is maturing two or three weeks earlier than in the average »ea?on, and ib is a great misrake to wait for ehowers hoping to increase tho weight of the yield, as this means that the crop is allowed to pass its be*t. and the proportion of indigestible fibre in the stems increase?.
