ing statement just given out by the
department of agriculture which
says that horses In this country
reached their maximum in 1913 and
since then have been gradually de
Creasiug."
The gradual decrease OF the sup
ply Or horses on farms and ranches
is attributed by the departments
experts 10 motor vehicles.
Many Trucks i'm Use.
The statement issued by the de-
partment says.
That the decline OF the horse on
farms is not due merely 10 the use
~ passenger automobiles Is indi-
Gated by a survey recently under
taken by approximately 30. 900 crop
reporters representing the bureau in
all sections of the country. They
have reported the names OF more
than $4,000 farmers who use motor
trucks on their farms. But the ex-
tent 10 which these trucks displace
horses is problematical. In many
cases the Introduction of a truck on
= farm indicates provision for in
creased hauling rather than an ac-
tual reduction in the number OF
horses used.
Value Decreases. ...
The estimated numD Der horses
on farms and ranches Jan 1 of this
year was 21,1O9. 900, a decrease OF
573. 900 head. or II per cent com
pared with a year ago. The total
value OF these animals this year is
estimated at 81.992,542.O 900. as
against s2.114,S97.OOO last year.
This means an average value per
head for horses Of all ages OF S9439,
compared with $685. n year ago.
The average value per head 10 years
ago was $10s.03.
From these figures IL is not diff
hcult to understand why the horse
market is regarded as unsettled and
the future equally uncertain. The
best demand during the past year
has been In the south. while de-
creases have occurred on the west
ern ranges During the past two
years the Increased demand for feed
for high-priced meat animals has

ADMISSION OF
GERMANY WILL
Be OPPOSED
League Faces Scrap In
November On Enemy
Nations
BY MILTON BRONNER
European Manager. N. E. A.

LONDON. Oct. 3O.-Shall Ger
many and the other ex-enemy coun-
tries be admitted to the League OF
Nations?
That is going to be the cause of
the biggest fight at the initial meet
ing of the assembly Of the League at
Geneva in November.
Scandinavia says Eyes"
France says. "No."
Great Britain will probably say
eyes"
And the fight is on to round up
enough votes either to accept or re-
iect, according as one looks at it.
Will Use U. S.
Singularly enough, the United
States, which is not in the League
and which will not be represented at
the sessions of the assembly, will be
used by French statesmen as the ex-
cuse for keeping Germany out of the
League.
When the assembly meets, it is
very probable, Sweden, backed by
Norway and Denmark, will propose
that Germany be made a member OF
the League. The view of the Scan
dinavian statesmen is no League can
be called a real League as long as
the former enemy countries are ex-
cluded from it.
French statesmen, | understand,
are trying to line up block of states
in opposition to Germany.
Her Trump Card.
AS a result of this France is
springing her biggest card. 1t is
this:
"The United States has not made
peace with Germany. She Is still
technically at war with Germany.
Shall the powers admit to the League
a state with which America IS still
aM war? Especially shall they do so
efore America has definitely and n
nally taken her own stand as regards
the League? And, finally, shall the
powers take so-called "snaD" action
on the matter of Germany in No
vember. when the new administra-
ton the American people elect in that
month will have no power over Amer
lean foreign policies until next
March?
1t is hard to predict whether the
,nrench will succeed. One thing is
certain, they are up against diff
cult proposition. 1t takes two-thlrds
vote in the assembly to admit state
80 the league. That means that
france will hav to line up l3 states
It's going to b hard task to get
that number.
