MARYLAAD'S HORSES
WORTH s17,484,OOO
STATE HAS $1,000 HORSES AND
$4,000 MULES ON FARMS AND
CAN RAISE MORE.
FACTS BY DR.. A. r. WOODS

There are 171.OO0 horses. valued at
sl7,4sf.OOO, and $4,000 mules worth
s3.325,O0 on Maryland farms today.
according TO figures made public by
Dr. a. r. Woods. president of the
Maryland State College OF Agriculture.
A good part OF these horses form
the nucleus from which 10 produce
better horses OF all breeds. If the
farmers OF the state will give more
ittel ion to the selection OF the proper
'tal.lu.s and good mares.
Lo.i heavy draft animals and lighter
lor .cs. for cavalry purposes can be
bred in Maryland with profit to the
re d-Fs, for there is movement on
foot BY the Maryland Breeders Blu
TeaJ to have the Army Remount Serv.
ice take options on all colts of the
light type which conform TO cavalry
specifications.
II this plan is successful farmers
who have light mares can breed them
probably TO thoroughbred stations,
for they will be assured market for
this type of horse. which is not always
suitable for heavy farm work.
Doctor Woods advocates such a
plan, saying that If the Government
wants Maryland farmers TO breed
lighter horses IL should furnish stall
lion service and make ARRANGEMENTS
TO take the colts which come up to
cavalry specifications. This would
leave the heavier horses on the farms
TO do the farm work
The Eastern Shore, said DIR. Woods
recently, according to a Baltimore
newspaper. could proftably develop
the lighter horse. At present the East
ern Shore Is not a horse raising sec.
ton. To aid in this work. the Mary.
land Breeding Bureau Offers stallion
service almost free.
That Maryland IL coming into her
own. generally speaking. so far as
horses are concerned. Is shown by the
Increased interest being taken in the
horses classes at the various fairs.
The Hagerstown and Frederick
fairs this year. the Timonium fair and
other county fairs. are Offering excel
lent awards TO ths various classes
and are doing much good In that way.

Chicago Man Buys
 California Island

~~~~ March IF says:
 One of the biggest real es- tate deals ever put over in California is now an assured fact and details can be fur nished by interested parties.
 William Wrigley, IT,, man. ufacturer of the famous "Wrigley's Spearmint, one of the chief stockholders in the Chicago "Cubs" ball team and an officer and di- rector ina total of fifteen en- terprises in various parts of the United States, is the head and controlling inter est in a company which has taken over Santa Catalina Island. The purchase price is close to $4,000, 900 and several millions more will be spent to make the island the great show place of the Pacific Coast.
 Included in the transfer are practically all of the 48,- 900 acres of the island, the new $400, 900 Ste. Catherine Hotel and it's appurtenances, ten thousand head of sheep, two large steamers which ply between San Pedro and the island, a fleet of glass bottom power boats and other property of the Santa Cata- lima Island company.
 This news is of interest to every past, present and pros pective visitor to California; :; in fact it is of particular in- terest to the country at large, for it presages an era of ex- pansion and development in our home resorts in keeping with the tendency to culti- vate domestic tourist travel which the war has so strongly intensified.
 The officers and directors in the new Santa Catalina Island company are some of the most enterprising busi- ness men in Los Angeles county. The general man. ager is Everet H. Seaver who directed the Fulton Ship yards at San Pedro during the war and who last year built successful wooden ships at astonishing speed for the government. MT. Seaver's record as a builder of ships is equalled by his fame as an employer of labor, for in all his period of service at San Pedro there was no rumor of labor trouble.
 David Blankenhorn, a well known Los Angeles business man is president of the new company. He recently re- ceived his honorable dis charge from the U. s. Army where he ranked as cantain.
