More Horses and Mules are Needed as
World War RACES.


World War RACES.
1.-THE price now being obtained
for good horses and good mules
should point the direction clearly
to men who have mares to breed"
said E. A. Trowbridge of the Uni
versity of Missouri, College of Agri-
culture, recently in discussing the
horse and mule situation.
cat the outbreak of the war we
had a good supply Of horses and
mules, Approximately one and
one half millions of horses and
mules have been taken into war
service. Yet, until recently, no
general improvement in the price
of horses has been noted. Hogs
have increased in price SO per cent
and cattle and sheep have increas.
ed nearly as much. The time be
tween the birth and the date of sale
of hogs is frequently not more than
a year. With cattle and sheep also
money may be turned quickly and
the profit had. This is not the
case with horses. 1t requires six
years to make a mature horse
Consequently the feed item has
been such a big one that horse
breeders have hesitated about in
creasing their operations. In fact,
it is true in some localities that
fewer mares were bred last year
than the year before.
Present prices for good horses
and good mules clearly indicate the
desirability of an increase in their
members, but the insignificant price
received for mediocre and common
horse stock certainly indicates that
the country would be better off
without them. tbs true that there
never was time when the spread
between the price of good horse
or mule and a common one was so
great as it is at the present time.
Every indication seems to point to.
ward the desirability of an increas.
ed production of good horses and
mules, There is Just one way to
begin this increase and that is to
use good stations and good Jacks

This question has come up several
times. Recently the chief scout execu-

ident Of local council, as follows:
Scout executive called to the cOlors.
In your opinion would he not be able
to serve his country better as scout
executive than as private soldier?
If so, please use your influence to have
him transferred to class B or G. There
is no other man available that can car
ry on the work at this time"
Mr.. James Z. West replied as fol-
lows:
sincerely regret inability to do as
you request. We have followed policy
Of not asking special consideration Of
any scout official, regardless Of local
conditions. Paramount need at this
moment Is men who can serve, and

Is so great that it would prove embar-
