HORSES TO RETAIN THEIR PLACE IN THE SUN

“The time will never come when we can get along without horses on the farm. They will furnish ninetenths of all farm power and will continue to do so,” said Harvey Smith, of Boswell, president of the Indiana draft horse breeders’ association, at the annual meeting which opened in Indianapolis Wednesday. “Due to the propaganda against horses, many farmers and others have not raised colts the last year or two and today there is a real shortage of good horses. We have plenty of culls and inferior kinds but not nearly enough good ones to go around.” E. S. Akin, of Syracuse, N. Y., an importer, dealer and breeder, said that he had found a big shortage in Indiana, < lowa and Illinois, the three leading draft horse producing states.

DO YOUR SHOPPING EARLY.

Everything points to a drop in prices, except everything. We took down the following notes from talks by big men at the auto show: “Every ware house in the country is empty. There can be no over-production until these are filled.” “All our debts were contracted with a rising and inflated market. It would ruin the world to pay them with a deflated market.” “Demands for 1920 can will exceed the demands of 1919, and should run to 3,500,000 can including trucks.” ..... . “Production will be limited by the inability of manufacturen to secure metals and labor for at least three yean.” “Supply is scheduled to exceed demand the last half of 1923. By that, time the rehabilitation of other portions of the world and the demand from them for can will open another good market for several years.” “The American market will be loaded when 12 million can are in operation. The average car lasting six yean, it will then take two muUon can yearly to replace the Sunken’ alone.” ... TSt" Buy now and buy intelligently. One Franklin wiM last you over this period of H. C. L.
