THE HOPE PIONEER GRADUAL DECREASE IN SUPPLY OF HORSES ON FARMS AND RANCHES IN RECENT YEARS Vv»'v Keep Only the Best Mares and Breed Them to Sound, Purebred Stallions of the Same Breed. Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Horses in this country reached their maximum in 1918 and since then have been gradually decreasing, according to data compiled by tlie bureau of crop estimates. United States department of agriculture. While this statement: ap plies to the United States as a whole, the information secured by the bureau relates primarily to the supply of horses on farms and ranches, the grad ual decrease of which is attributed to motor vehicles. That the decline of the horse on farms is not due merely to the use of pussenger automobiles is indicated by a survey recently under taken by approximately 30.000 crop re porters representing the bureau in all sections, of- 'the.' country. They have reported the names of more than 49. 000 farmers who use motor trucks on their farms. But the extent to which rhese trucks displace horses-is prob lematical. In manycases the introduc tion of a truck on a farm, indicates provision for increased hauling rather than an actual reduction in the num ber of horses used. relatively more costly to keep a horse on the farm. Comments in the reports of field agents to the bureau of crop estimates tiirow interesting light on the decrease ia the nuniher of horses. The agent in South Dakota writes: "With the competition of the gas tractor there has been a diminishing demand for the horses of the class largely grown in this state." The agent in Ten nessee states: "The raising of horses and mules litis declined to some extent in the past few years. The auto is taking the place of the horse in many instances. With the mule the decline is not so marked, as he is the main stay of the farm, though a few mules are being replaced by the tractor." According to the field agent in New Mexico there are no longer any wild horses on the range in his state and the number of small Mexican cow ponies ,is rapidly diminishing. The field agent iu Utah slates that horses are liabilities rather than assets in his section. Speaking of the decrease in certain sections of Washington, the local representative in that state says: "Where a notable reduction has oc curred in any county it seems due to replacement of horsepower by motor power." Increase of Mules. While the number and value of horses has declined, there has been a slight increase in the number of mules in this country, compared with a year ago. Most of these animals are in the Soul hern states, and the prosperity of that section is reflected in the increased demand and high prices paid for mules. The average value per head is $147.10 (all ages in cluded). compared with SI.'Ci.fi'i a year ago and ten years ago. The total number of mules on farms and ranches the first oi' thte year was an iw-rease of 41,000 head, or 0.S per cent.
