COST OF PRODUCTION OF TIMOTHY AND CLOVER HAY ON SOME NEW YORK FARMS (The following article is taken from Cornell Bulletin 377— Cost Accounts on Some Xew York Farms, by C E. Ladd, Instructor and Investigator in Farm Management.) In its climate, soils, and markets, l^ew York State is well adapted for hay production. Nearly all the farms -in the state raise hay. Of the total area in crops on cooperating farms, 38 per cent in 1912, and 34 per cent in 1913, was in timothy and clover. This percentage varied from 9 to 62 on individual farms. Only one farm with which accounts have been kept did not raise timothy and clover; this farm raised alfalfa. On several farms the hay account included small fields of alfalfa or oat and pea hay. These farms were not included in the tabulation. The average yield of timothy and clover hay for Isew York State was tons per acre in 1912, and tons per acre in 1913.'^ The average yield on the cooperating farms was slightly higher than the average for the state. One farm had an average yield of tons per acre, while on one farm the yield was tons per acre. Both these farms, however, made a profit in producing hay. The data concerning the production of timothy and clover hay are given in the following table. Very little of this hay was mar- keted during the year. Averages for Timothy and Clover Hay.
