Agricultural engineers advise cutting cured hay into 6 to 11 inch lengths for storage either in mows or outdoors. When stored outside, piles rise into round slat cribs about 20 feet in diameter and height to minimize spoilage. Chopped hay requires special handling such as directed blast for barns, caution against high moisture, and careful curing. Use wheel presses and sweep rakes to improve feeding efficiency, and avoid stacking chopped hay over sweating whole hay to prevent spoilage.
Extension economist Carl Malone of Iowa State College warns inflation is a real danger, not theory. Since the 1939 war outbreak, prices have risen as the nation moves toward wartime inflation with a revenge, risking both victory and future peace.
The piece outlines rising prices, with basis raw materials up 66 percent and wholesale and retail costs climbing as demand and money supply surge. Wartime inflation risks, a smaller civilian production base, and a looming postwar depression are warned, alongside agricultural advice to cut hay earlier for better red clover seed yields.
The article discusses timing for cutting the first and second crops to optimize seed yield and hay quality. Hughes recommends leaving hay in swaths until one fourth cured, then completing curing in the windrow to protect the leaves and maintain feed value.

Antarctic explorers wear special glasses that admit only a small amount of light to reduce glare from the sun reflecting off ice. The goggles protect eyes from intense polar illumination while enabling visibility in bright conditions.
The article explains that metal used as a backing for mirrors reflects about 95 percent of incoming light, making it an excellent choice for high reflectivity.
