try will be confronted with a seriously
depleted supply of good horses within
the next few years.
Many farmers are using up their
work stock without making any pro-
vision for the future. Such a policy
Is sh~ort-sighted and will nave serious
results, according to department of
agriculture representatives. The pres
emit need is to increase the percentage
of efficient horses by careful selection
of parents. One of the principal fac
tors from which the market Is suffer-
ing is the breeding of too many low
grade work animals. There is II strong
demand for high-class horses, at good
prices, the department says.

Coal Urgently Needed.
Following formal complaints filed
with the commission by representa-
tives from various sections, orders
are expected TO be issued giving pref
erentisl consideration to coal for
public utilities. Reports came from
many parts OF the Middle West that
gas and electric light plsns were
operating in many cases with a scant
days supply of coal ahead, and plants

is said TO grow out OF a misuse OF
open-top cars. The charges stated
that lines south of the Ohio river are
unable to secure adequate equipment
from the lines serving them and their
