ST. JOSEPH COUNTY
NEEDS GOOD HORSES
Government Is Willing to
Help by Placing Pure
Bred Stations.

More horses and better horses il
a proposition that should interest
great many St. Joseph county
farmers
A short while ago the general
belief was that tractors and power
machinery would eventually displace
the horse. but as time goes on we
find a greater need for good farm
horses.
Both tractors and horses have
their place on a plot OF ground
large enough to deserve the name of
farm and while a great amount Of
the heavier kind of farm labor such
as blowing. discing, threshing there
is still a great amount OF farm work
that can best be done with old
dobbin.
This is especially true Of cultivat-
ing, spreading lime and other fer
tilizers as well as many jobs that
require working in a small space.
The tractor that will do every
thing a horse can do and do il as
well has not been perfected.
Therefore we must have horses;
more of them and better horses than
The cost Of feeding a high grade
Percheron. of ClydesdaIe. is slightly
if any more than that of feeding a
poor grade animal OF nOndescript
type. Then why not nave better
horses.
Realizing the need Of a good
strain of work horses on the farm
the United States government is now
placing throughout the country a
number of high class stations, most
OF which have the best blood in
America
The conditions under which the
animals are placed are:
First-The number and class Of
mares is determined, in order TO
ascertain the kind OF stallion which
will cross with them 10 best adam
tage.
Second Some man who has been
recommended for agent and prop
erly vouched for is selected TO
handle the stallion
Third-The agent receives for
the care and feed of the stallion for
the four breeding months of March
April, May and June $4,000 pay
able in four equal installments. In
addition to this he receives the man
addition 20 this the agent receives
$1,000 per mare for each mare
properly bred. For the above
amount the agent must keep the
stallion the entire year
FOurth-The stud fee charged
for this stallion Is the same "a that
charged for commercially owned
stations, which I'm no case is less
than $1,000
St. Joseph county could very
easily have one OF these desirable
stations II is only a question Of
some enterprising farmer coming
forward making the proper appE-
cation and agreeing 10 the terms
designated by the government. Then
we may look for some horses Of
real value. which eventually mean
better farming and greater success

In parts where the pastures are

disease Is spread by cattle nosing

 While, in the main, the farmer must sell, regardless of market conditions at the time of the maturity of crops, he cannot suspend production in toto. He must go on producing if he Is to go on living, and if the world Is to exist. The most he can do Is to curtail pro- duction little or alter Its form, and that-because he Is In the dark as to the probable demand for his goods may be only to jump from the frying pan Into the fire. taking the consumer with him.
 Even the dairy farmers, whose out put Is not seasonal, complain that they find themselves at a disadvantage in the marketing of their productions, especially raw milk, because of the high costs of distribution, which they must ultimately bear.

erai good than in the case of other industries The spirit of American democracy is unalterably opposed, alike to enacted special privilege and to the special privilege of unequal op- portunity that arises automatically from the failure to correct oiarino economic inequalities. I am opposed to the injection of government into business, but I do believe that 1t Is an essential function of democratic gov. ernment to equalize opportunity so far as It is within its power to do so. whether by the repeal of archaic statutes or the enactment of modern ones. If the antitrust laws keep the farmers from endeavoring scientifically to integrate their industry while other industries find way to meet modern conditions without violating such stat utes. then 1t would seem reasonable to find way for the farmers to meet them under the same conditions. The law should operate equally in fact. Re pairing the economic structure on one side Is no injustice to the other side. which Is in good repair.
 We have travelled long way from the old conception of government as merely a defensive and policing agency and regulative. corrective, or eQualiz- ing legislation, which apparently is of a special nature, Is often of the most general beneficial consequences. Even the First Congress passed tariff act that was avowedly for the protection of manufacturers but a protective tariff always has been defended as a means of promoting the general good through particular approach; and the statute books are filled with acts for the benefit of shipping, commerce, and labor.

Rather, we should ask if their trouble Is not ours, and see what can be done to improve the situation. Purely from self-interest, If for no higher motive, we should help them. All of us want to get back permanently to "normalcy :" but is 1t reasonable to hope for that condition unless our greatest and most basic In. dustry can be put on & sound and solid permanent foundation? The farmers are not entitled to special privileges but are they not right in demanding that they be placed on an equal foot ing with the buyers of their products and with other industries?
