HORSES ARE COMING BACK
(By F. M. Plank)

For the past few years an affort has
been made to make it appear that the
horse is being rapidly supplanted by
the automobile, the motor truck and
the farm tractor, and that the "horse-
less age" is close at hand.
Every one realizes that the automo-
bile has taken, to a great extent, the
place of the road horse and the carri-
age horse. They prefer the rapid going
machine, to the horse in pleasure driv-
ing and in business when they can
afford it, and in many cases when it
can't be afforded. However, there
is still demand for some light horses
of style and quality, and especially for
those trained to saddle.
But the propaganda directed against
the use Of the horse for transporta-
ton in cities and their use on the
farms has been worked most persist
emily. We have been told in long
magazine articles and articles in the
newspapers that the up-to-date big
business firms in cities are displacing
the horses with motor trucks as fast
as possible, and that the progressive
farmers are selling their horses and
buying tractors with which to do their
farm work.
For several years this kind of props
uganda has been gotten to farmers
and horse breeders and has resulted
in almost an entire cessation of the
horse-breeding industry thruout the
country. Take our own county of
Medina: The late report of the asses
sors tell us that there were 750 fewer
horses by the census of 1920 than in
1919. But this is not SO alarming as
the fact that very few are being bred
and raised It takes five years to
breed and raise a horse, and colts are
extremely scarce. Prices for good
horses are now the highest they have
been for years at this season, on the
Chicago market. Il.
To get at the facts as to the use of
horses for transportation in the cities,
the Horse Association of America sent
a special representative into number
of the larger cities to learn at first
hand the conditions relative to the
use of horses and motor trucks in
those places. An interview by this
representative with ten big firms in
Columbus, O., engaged in different
kinds of business shows that these
firms now use 159 horses and Sc
