LIVE STOCK NUMBERS
INCREASING SLOWLY

Slight increases or marked decreas-
es in the number of stock in the
United States are shown by the cen
sus figures just made public by the
department of commerce. Horses
show an increase of only about 300,
600 on the farms, or one and one-half
per cent approximately. The number
of horses in the cities shows a so per
cent decrease, explained as due to
greater use of automotive vehicles.
Mules show about a 20 per cent in
crease. however
Cattle show u per cent increase,
hogs are very slightly in excess of
the figures for 1910, while sheep have
decreased in number by over 17,000,-
900 from 52,S3S,74S in 1920 to 35,435,-
266 in 1920. This is roughly a SO per
cent decrease.
In considering the last census fig
ures it must be remembered that the
census was taken Jan. l, and does
not include the spring increase which
