Three Factors Employed for Grad
ing Hay Are Leafliness, Color
and Foreign Material
In the Federal grades for alfalfa,
made effective by the Secretary of
Agriculture on September 1, 1925,
three grading factors are employed:
Leafliness, Color and foreign ma
terial. If grass is present the hay
is not 'classed as "alfalfa," but as
"alfalfa light grass mixed," or
"alfalfa grass mixed," depending on
the amount of grass present. Instead
of using each grade terms as
"Choice" or "Standard," numerical
grades are used.

caused the king to change his route
