The action of the council in passing

to a protest by nOrthside citizens and

NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE
OREGON LOSES MILLION A YEAR
BY POOR BREEDING SAYS
EXPERT.
coli From Grade of Mongrel Stallion
Worth $40 Less Than Pure Bred
Coit-State Raises $4,000 Colts
Annually.

That oregon horsemen annually
lose almost sl,OOO,0OO by their fail
Nre TO breed TO pure bred stations is
4 fact recently brought out by the in
restigations Of Professor E L. Potter.
head of the oregon Agricultural Col
aege livestock department. Conserva-
,lve estimates place the value of each
colt sired by grade or mongrel stall
lion at $40 less than the value of the
colt sired by pure bred stallion. AS
there are about 10000 colts whose
wires are not pure bred. the annual
loss TO the growers of horses in Ore
gon is 100000.
On the other hand, the service fee
Tor the grade OF mongrel stallion av-
eraees only SS less than the fee for
ySre bred service. This effects a
saving Of $4,000 annually. BY de-
Quoting this sum from the $500. 900
lost through mongrel breeding. the net
lost is found to be ST40,00O annually.
According to the reports collected
py Professor Potter. there are about
$4,000 colts foaled annually in the
state. OF this number 10000 are
from pure bred sires and 10000 from
grade and mongrel sires. The average
value. at five years of age. of each
colt from the pure bred sire. is from
1T6S to 5000, depending upon quail
y. The value of each colt from the
grade or mongrel sire Is from sl20 tc
-7se, with a considerable number un-
Ger the $3.50 figure
These estimates are based on the
present dull market prices, and the
difference in prices between the poor
s.r and the better bred classes becomes
-zreater as values rise.
although 1t is true that in some To-
saiities pure bred sires are not avail
able, II Is far more generally true that
there is not sufficient demand for the
service that is available. In other
words. it seems that the purchase OF
snsre pure bred stallions'i is not so i'm
portant as more patronage for those
already owned in the state.
