But. above everything else. what was

REMOUNT BOARD
MAKING PLANS
Work Started to Furnish
Government With Better
Cavalry Horse Breed.

The first meeting of the recently ap-
pointed Remount Board, whose func-
tiOn will be to provide the United
States with a suitable supply of cav
airy horses, was held at the War De-
partment a few days ago. and the only
matter which is keeping the prof.
ect from being launched and pros
ecuted with a viEOr which is charaC-
teristic of the personnel of the COM
mission is an appropriation by Con
gress, which will no doubt be forth
coming shortly.
The breeding Of cavalry remounts
has previously been prosecuted in the
United States with little aid for the
farmers from the Federal authorities.
Under the plans of the RemOunt Board
the production of this kind of horse
will be easier and more profitable, Il
being the aim to furnish thoroughbred
sires of the type best suited to the
mares in each community, while the
tying restrictions which formerly gave
the government A lien on an excep-
tional animal will be removed.
Every member of the board. which
consists of sixteen. equally divided be-
tween experts in military and civil
life, with one exception, was present
at the meeting. Col. John S. Far
is chairman of the board. with Col
+. 5. Armstrong secretary.
