From the July 1916
issue of The Southern Planter
10 Million Dollars for Horses and Mules
The United States Government needs 70,000 horses and mules
for service in the present preparation for war with Mexico. For this number of
horse and mules $10 million will be paid to the farmers of this country.
If the present demand from abroad continues ill the end of
this year, the total number exported for the war in Europe will reach a
million, for which our farmers have received $150 million. Those who have
heeded our warning for the last few years and kept on breeding good horses and
mules are now reaping a golden harvest.
The day of the horse at one time appeared to be dark, but it
was only a passing shadow. The future for good, well set up horses and mules
was never brighter. Their usefulness will never pass.
