Demand For Horses, Mules
Soars As Shortage Is Seen
Ry WILLIAM BORING
ATLANTA-—(flV-Thoso who note
machinery’s advance and count the
horse and mule out of the agricul
tural pictures are likely to have a
"horse laugh" coming from Old
Dobbin.
Figures from the Horse and Mule
association indicate that next Jan*
uary 1 the nation’s farmers, when
they begin rounding up work ani
mals for another planting season,
will find shortages of 174,382 horses
and 335,941 mules.
The association’s index shows
that only two state—Arisons and
Nevada—have enough horse colts
two years of age and under to re
place worn out and deceased stock
of the past year. AU states have
mule shortages.
Demand Soaring
Hie dearth is due to the failure
to breed maxes between 1928 and
1933, a period which saw increasing
numbers of farmers trading work
animals in for mechapical farm
equipment.
Against this situation horse and
mule dealers in the Atlanta mar
ket, reputedly the world’s largest,
report a marked step-up in the de
mand for the hone and his long
eared cousin. A coincident price up
trend also is reported.
Stockmen cije ae an encourag
ing sign the report of the U. S.
bureau of husbandry that the last
year saw the end of the downward
trend In horse and mule colt pro
duction.
Continued Increases in produc
tion of oolta for the next several
yearn is indicated by the organiza
tion of numerous livestock associa
tions.
The associations, usually spon
sored by the county farm agent's
staff and agricultural and civic
clubs, comprise farmers resolved to
breed their own work stock and
possibly animals for the commer
cial market.

Auction rings in the Atlanta
horse and mule yards today—in con
trast to two or three years ago—
are centers of buzzing activity.
