HAY HIGH PRICED. Rise In Price of Land Makes Hay Scarcer Than Ever. Sioux City , March 23. Hay is from $1 to $1.50. a ton higher than It was a year ago. The price has made this advance In the last three" weeks , and there has been a noticeable shortage. The condition Is duo both to the set tling of the lands formerly used for Tiay and to the storm conditions that have kept down farm deliveries. "I look for the hay market to con tinue strong until the new crop conies In , the first half of July , " aald Will- lam Slaughter , of the Akron Milling company , who has Just returned from a tour of the hay lands around O'Neill , In Nebraska , and In South Dakota. "Wo can't toll what conditions will be after the new crop comes In , but I think the market until then will run from fl to $1.50 a ton higher than a year ago. The present shortage Is due to the had weather conditions which have made It Impossible for the farmers to haul their hay , but the sot tllng up of the lands is having a more permanent effect. The development of the country Is making these lands too valuable to bo loft to wild hay. We must look to the sandy lands In went orn Nebraska for a large part of out supply. There has been n strong de mand lately. Dakota City recently ordered three cars from us , whereat they used to grow a goat deal of hay across there on the bottoms. Up north' west of Vormllllon , where they once had such a ( iimnttty of hay , they say that they will from now on have to ship It In. The land Is going under cultivation rapidly. Sections from which wo could get any quantity oi hay live years ago do not now pro * duce a ton. Out O'Neill way there 'E ' plenty of hay , but the western demand - mand , Colorado In particular , has been the heaviest over known , and has cut down the surplus that would have come to this market.
