stimulated through its cooperation
with the farmers.
Early In tie war when Russia made
her great offensive and penetrated
East Prussia" said Col. Fair In con.
clusion, the announcement was made
that Germany deplored the loss of TO-.
600 choice mares from one OF its most
famous breeding studs more than any
other misfortune connected with the
campaign. l am ready to subscribe to
the sentiment that such a number of
the proper type Of mare would be in
valuable to us today. To Germany
whose horse wastage is greater than
that of any other country, they would
be priceless. The Jockey Club, its
chairman, Major August Belmont, F.
Ambrose Clark, Henry T. Oxnard and
many others have donated or loaned to
the Government for a term of years
horses Of the type to benefit the move
ment."
Horses Of Thoroughbred Type the Best.
Lieut.. Col. M. C. Bristol Is another
member of the Government remount
household who is a believer in thor
oughbred blood in the troopers mount.
Col. Bristol has had much to do with
the selection of the stations which
have been inaugurated at Front Royal.
Va, and Forts Reno and Keogh In Ok.
lahoma and Montana, respectively. He
and those working under his supervi-
sion have been extremely careful in
making their selections. No unsound
or bad tempered animals have been &C
cepted, and whenever horse was
found with a good racing record he
was preferred to another of equal
merit in all other respects. New York
ers had an opportunity during the re-
cent Belmont Park meeting to see
some of them when Light Arms, Sara
toga Roly, Achievement and other
horses donated by the Jockey Clubs
breeding bureau and individuals were
exhibited on the stretch.
Farmers Cooperation Essential
In discussing the GOVERNMENTS re-
mount plan in general, Col Bristol
said:
There was a disposition at first on
the part Of some to think that we we're
engaging in the breeding business in
opposition to the farmer. Nothing
could be further from the truth. We
have no desire to antagonize the farm
er In his breeding ventures. As a mat
ter of fact we are laying the founda.
ton for plan which will be of untold
benefit to the farmers and horse breed
ers Of the Union. 1t is our idea to
breed stations at our depots which will
be distributed to the farmers free Of
any obligation. There will be no serv-
Ice fee and every aid will be given to
stimulate the production of the proper
type Of renount without any strings to
the proposition.
II hope that there will be an in
creased interest in the racing, horse
show and hunting activities of the
country, as all of this makes for tho
development Of the type of horse we
want"
