politically and socially. Horsemen
interested in every class and type,
race horse owners, riders and drivers,
and all interested In business related
thereto, are backing this government
breeding scheme
Plan and Procedure: Our aim is to
improve and stimulate the breeding
Of every useful animal of the equine
species from the heavy draft to the
polo pony and the mule.
OUR IMMEDIATE CONCERN is to
save the riding and driving horse and
the high-class race horse from extinc-
ton. We want TO produce truly
American type Of cavalry horse-a
horse with breeding and quality, as
well as substance and bone-a weight
carrier and the best general purpose
horse known--a horse that will
weigh from 1000 to 1850 pounds.

most every commercial and military
use will be met by the progeny OF
this breeding scheme, dependent pri-
marily upon the size, quality and blood
lines Of the mares used in breeding.
Among the stations to be placer

TO farmers and breeders at minimum

to make money, but to make it possible
and feasible for the farmer and breed
er to get the service of a high-class,
approved stallion for their good mares.
The object is to produce animals of

for peace and war, link in the chain
OF our National Defense. The colts
will belong to the breeder. The Gov
eminent will have no string on them.
The owner will be privileged to sell
them to whomsoever he pleases at any
time. However, The Government ex-
pects to depend upon this source for its
supply of animals in times both of
peace and war.
Contract System: For years the Gov
eminent purchased all its animals by
, contract, after advertisement, from the
lowest bidder. This method beat down
the price paid by the Government b
, the lowest point and made It unprofit-
able for the farmer and breeder TO pro-
duce a high-class animal. It was re

Government has established fair price
to be paid during the year for each
class Of animals, which are of proper
: conformation, age and soundness to
pass inspection. This system Is known
, as the Open Market Purchase System
and was designed 50 as to give the
