Future of Draft
go X
Horse Breeding

There is a revival Of the demand
for draft horses. This is shown by
the keenness with which farmers
are now buying work horses for
spring use. That ranchers should
undertake their wintering on $50
oats and SIG alfalfa hay is conclu-
sive evidence of the anticipated
dearth of desirable material. Prof.
VIM. Hislop, animal husbandman of
the state experiment station at
Pullman. reports a recent sale of a
plain gelding, coming four years,
weighing 1925 pounds, at $275
cash. That figure would have been
quite ordinary had it been paid for
a drafty individual with clean limbs
and snappy action. The above
transaction is typical of many 9TH
ers.
Thousands of horses have left
our state on war contracts. That,
in part explains the scarcity in de-
sirable equine stocks, but the root
of the matter lies in the steadily
decadent interest manifested by
farmers in horse raising.
