Washington, March 13.-The ex-
tent to which motor vehicles are
supplanting the horse on farms is
problematical, department of agri-
culture experts say, after a recent
survey, which disclosed that at least
fifty thousand farmers in the country
own motor trucks which they use on
their farms. Passenger cars and
trailers- were excluded. In many
cases the introduction of a truck on
q farm indicates provision for in.
creased hauling rather than an actual
reduction in the number Of horses
used. Horses on farms reached tne,r
maximum in 1913, and since then
have been gradually decreasing.
Their number on January this year
was ~ 100000, . decrease of 3z3ooo
