there is a woeful shortage of good
horses" said A. A. Cederwald, sec
rotary of the association, here re-
Gently. "This is evident from the
demand and the prices at which the
best sell, while the inferior ones
cannot be sold for what it has cost
to raise them.
"This is the age of efficiency in
everything and this applies as
strongly to the horse as to anything
else. The demand is for the horse
that can do the job efficiently and
economically, pulling a heavy load
or working under the saddle. If
one is breeding draft horses, he
should produce the best draft horses
possible, and If breeding riding
horses, he should produce the best
riding horses possible.
'eThe production of the high-class
riding horse is of paramount impor-
lance at the time on account of the
dearth of such horses in this coun-
try. If an emergency should arise,
the problem of obtaining horses to
mount our army would be one of
the most serious problems confront
ing purchasing officers.
"Agents are continually securing
the country for saddle horses for
park and show-ring use, for cross
country work and for polo mounts,
and cattle ranchers are having seri-
Gus difficulty in finding suitable
horses for their cowboys.

FALL0N SUGAR CO.
MAKES DECISION

Fred Hinze, manager of the La
hontan Valley Sugar Company fac.
tory, states that the company has
decided not to run the factory this
year, but will furnish seed free to
farmers who want to plant beets in
order to demonstrate whether the
blight will bother the crop this
season. The farmer can have the
beets for his own use. l. E. Hall of
Hall 4 Roylance will have charge
of the distribution of the seed and
there will be someone next fall to
inspect the crop and give data on
results.
It is expected that the factory
will run next year and it is the in
tention to start the campaign in the
fall SO fall blowing can be done,
which is essential to successful beet
growing. There has been some
hesitancy on the part of the growers
because Of blight another season,
but if the blight does not strike
the beets field this season there can
be no doubt but what the farmers
will be anxious to plunge into beet
raising for the year 1928.
We have splendid factory here
at Fallon. It is no shack of build
ing, but a good, substantial brick
structure, and the machinery consti-
tutes one of the best plants in the
beet growing sections. When the
factory was built over ten years ago
farming in this valley had not been
brought down to as fine a stage Of
development as now. The land was
not titled to that degree where in
tensive farming could be made a
success, but during the past decade
wonderful changes have been
wrought and beet culture can be
made a great success, according to
men who have made the subject q
life study. There is every reason
to believe that next year will see
beet growing taken up on a large
scale and that the factory will have
the biggest campaign in its history.

HORSE CENSUS ONE
FOR EVERY HOUSE

That the horse is holding his own
in spite Of the increased use of
motors is the surprising condition
revealed by the census bureau fig
ures, just issued, which show that
there is horse for every house in
the U. S. while only one family
in four can hope to have an auto
mobile, says a Washington dispatch.
The horse census shows a total of
21,848,066 horses in the country,
Iowa leading all other states with a
total of 1,386,522; with Illinois a
close second, Kansas third, then
Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota and
Missouri. Only six in every thou
sand horses, however, are pure-bred.
The government is giving practi-
cal assistance to farmers and breed
ers in improving the breed of Amer
lean horses, through the remount
service of the army which, last year,
supplied the use of 100 highly bred
stations purchased at a cost of
$4,000, by congressional appro-
priation. The number was further
augmented through the donation of
85 pure-bred stations valued con-
servatively at 100000, by men,
bers of the American Remount As
sociation.
This association, an independent
organization of owners, breeders
and others interested in the breed
ing of better horses and mules, is
actively working to the development
Of a larger supply of well-bred
horses. To this end, the association
lends its support materially to all
forms Of mounted sports, such as
horseback riding, polo playing, rae
ing, horse-shows, hunt-meets and
state and county fairs, through the
distribution of cups and cash prizes.
1t also watches legislative interests
of breeders and owners, disseminates
information on breeding and en-
deavors to encourage the CONNER
cial use Of horses.

the country at present is sufficient
and our draft stock unsurpassed,
