One of the greatest advances in the farmer's battle to beat the weather at haying time has been the development of the technique of hay conditioning. Conditioning speeds drying of the stems—wliich in unconditioned hay dry only half as fast as the leaves. By bruising or abrading the fibrous, wax-coated skin of the stems, conditioning lets the trapped moisture escape. As a result, stems dry faster . . . baling can be started sooner before leaves become wUted and are easily stripped and lost. Although either of the two most commonly used methods of conditioning will speed drying, recent studies have shown a considerable difference in their effectiveness.
