Shortage Of Mules
Because OF the War

washington. D. c., April A.
Among the calamities threatening
the American republic ars mule
less days. Farmers are already e1-
periencing them in some localities
but the present scarcity is nothing
compared 10 that predicted for the
future. unless the production OF
mules is increased
Many industries would be handi-
capped By a lack OF mules and the
farms would be seriously afflicted
The bureau now has several OF Its
county agents touring the south,
warning southern farmers OF the
shortage imminent. and encourag-
ing them TO breed their own mules
Farmers can breed their own mules
much more economically than they
can buy them from the large mule
breeders. asserts the bureau OF
animal industry. and at the same
time safeguard themselves against
a future scarcity.
While the mule population OF
this country IS larger this year
than il has ever been before. the
demand for mules IS larger still
First comes the demand from the
army for mules 70 be used on the
western front. where they are used
for the hauling Of heavy trans
ports
In addition to the demand for
army mules. which IS taking all the
best animals in this country, is the
increased demand for mules In the
south. The draft has left the
south short on labor. and farmers
are compelled TO substitute mules
and machinery IN the place OF hired
hands in planting and harvesting
-~Ds
Fortunately. the south IS rich
this year owing to the high prices
obtained for cotton last season, so
that most farmers are able to buy
mules, which are becoming eLpen-
sive. Even poor mules are bring
ing $500 and $500 apiece, while the
average price is $1,000 a pair.
