of roadways which if laid end to end would

Urge Colt Raising

THE retirement of farm acreage from formal
l crop production may lead to restoration
of one branch of farming neglected since the
farmer turned machinist The production of
colts, both horse and mule. has dropped of
greatly, until now the annual foaling is way
below the proportions necessary to provide nor
NAL replacement of farm work animals.
The Department of Agriculture has been lay
ing much stress of late on the advisability of
turning abandoned acreage over to pasture land
on which more colts could be raised. The de-
mand for work animals has shown considerable
signs of reviving and prices have been fairly
steady despite the depression.
Figures gathered by the Bureau of Census
indicate how great has been the neglect of re-
placements. In 1919 there we're 1888 900 mule
and horse colts raised, in 1882 only 5S1 900.
