BALED
HAY
FOR
CHINA
Is
Added
to
List
of
Exports
From
This
Country
VANCOUVER.
May
22:
Baled
hay
has
been
added
to
the
list
of
Canada's
exports
to
China,
this
development
being
due
to
the
rapid
expansion
of
the
dairy
industry
In
Shanghai
and
other
large
Oriental
centres.
"We
have
shipped
small
quantities
of
baled
hay
at
various
times,
usually
about
ten
tons
of
Umothy,"
said
T.
H.
Orchard
son,
Vancouver
exporter.
"But
we
could
not
supply
the
orders
from
British
Columbia
farms
and
had
to
go
to
Seattle
for
the
hay.
It
is
necessary
that
the
bales
be
double
compressed
and
we
have
no
equipment
for
such
baling
of
hay
at
Vancouver.
"In
Seattle
they
have
worked
up
a
good
business
in
the
exporting
of
hay
to
the
Orient.
Quantities
go
to
1
the
army
posts
In

This
hay
Is
from
Yakima
Valley,
j
Washington,
usually.

"As

goes

J
