L. Lovvorn, pro- i lessor of agronomy at State col- I lege. Hay should be cured to pre serve the leaves which contain most of the nutrients, to pre serve the natural green color, to avoid damage from rain or dew, and to avoid damage from mold, the specialist said. Most hays, --nf cut in the morning, are ready to put in windrows the same day. If it I is first allowed to wilt just as it has fallen, hay will cure more readily and more uniformly than if cured entirely in wind rows. It is desirable, however, to get it into the windrow be fore it gets dry or bleached, Dr. Lovvorn said. The leaves are the first part of the plant to dry out after cutting. As long as the leaves I are kept a!ive, they help cure the stems by drawing the mois ture out of them. If rain falls on freshly cut hay there will be little damage; ' provided good curing weather j follows. Half-cured or well- 1 I cured hay will be discolored, j but will not mold if rain comes j | before it is raked up. The 1 | greatest damage is done to hay j in the windrow, or in loose, ir : regular piles. Such hay should { be spread out as soon as the weather permits, he said.

Specialist North Carolina farmers can look forward lo a prosperous year In 1948, according to Dr. G. W. Forster, head of Uie, agricultural Economics depart ment at State ocllege, who said the national economy Is in a highly satisfactory condition, and the immediate future is bright. i This means, he believes, that agricultural conditions, with a few possible exceptions, will also be satisfactory. Explaining the reasoning be hind sijch a prediction, Dr Forster says that farm prosperi - ty depends almost directly on the condition of the national economy, therefore a close re lationship exists beteween the prosperity of i farming in North Carolina and America's indus trial activity. As Dr. Forster sees it, this industrial activity will remain high during the next several years, and as a consequence the agricultural income of this state will remain in a favor able position.
