"'plowing stodk" is started. the very
highest grade of mules will be in
greatest demand, as then the big
plantation owners will be in the, mar
ket, and these always buy the best
class of stock,
Prices are Higher.
For high grade stock, prices range
from $40 to $50 per head higher than
last year, this being due principally
to the fact that European belligerent
nations are continuing to Buy very
large numbers of horses and mules
in the larger stock centers Of the
country, and Thu, extra demand has
cIlused the increased price.
Fine mules can be purchased IN
Pine Bluff now at $3.50, which last
year brought 1920 or 1925. High grade
horses show the same proportionate
increase. The proportion Of horses
and mules sold here remains about as
usual, the number of mules being the
larger because of the heavy demand
from the farming interests, where the
mules are almost indispensable fol
blowing and heavy hauling.
Market Holds Position.
Pine Bluff as horse and mule
market is easily holding it's position
of equality with Little Rock and For
Smith, the other large stock markets
of the state. Stock men say it is Dill
ficult to state definitely which o
these three cities handle the greater
amount of horses and mules, as the!

horses and mules at retail, and in al

of all this section of the state.
For the past two or three years the
farm demonstration workers Of the
federal and state governments, as
we'll as Of the state university and Of
the several commercial organizations
which are interested directly in farm
advancement, have all been urging
that more stock be raised Oh the
farms, large and small, and the fact
that so many mares are now being
purchased here, by the farmers, for
breeding purposes, indicates that the
farmers have needed these urgings
and are now proceeding to carry out
the Suggestions, the opportunity being
most propitious, as money is plenti-
fiji with all tfp clY.@.;l farmers.
Season Opens Early.
The season for the sale Of horses
and mules here opened this year
about six weeks earlier than is usual
according to the stock dealers. and
while only small purchases are being
made of what is generally referred
to as blowing stock" very large
numbers of purchases Of riding, driv-
ing and breeding stock are reported.
ut is estimated that already there
has been received in Pine Bluff this
season some 40 or so cars of horses
and mules--the estimate is consider
ed ultra conservative by some of the
stockmen--while ordinarily the active
season in horses and mules does not
open until about November /.
The greater portion Of the stock
received here comes from Oklahoma
