HORSE ON WAY BACK;TRACTORS GATHERING DUST Farmers Have Feed, but No Money for Fuel: Price of Animals Rises. No >onger • relic of bygone days, the h'rse, forsaken a few years ago lor inventions of the machine age. again assuming his rightful role on Hie farm. This observation is made by Horace Abbott, countv agricultural agent, who deelares that scarcity of horses and mules is a problem with Marion county farmers. Farmers are dircarding machine power for the slower, yet cheaper ' horse*' power. Tractors sit among the cobwebs in sheds on hundred* of farms. I'rires Still Rising Prices of horses are rising, with , the law of supply and demand the controlling factor, according to Abbott. Meanwhile second-hand tractors can be purchased as low as SSO each, but. there are no buyers, Abbott said Farmers have the feed for horses, but no oil, gas or grease for tractors. During this depression, which has become the heyday for the horse, farmers have little each to buy fuel. "The whole policy, as I see it, for a farmer.” C. J. Murphy, assistant county agent, said "is not to see how much he can produce but how economically he can raise his products." That's the policy that has put horses in demand Five Years for Supply "This demand bids fair to continue r at least five years.” Abbott declared, "for it, will require that long to breed the stock to its status.” "Prices of good breeding stock will rise enough during the next . five years to justify raising a limited number of colts." according to a 1932 issue of the Outlook for Indiana agriculture, published by Purdue extension. Already, the horse death rate in the whole country exceeds the birth rate of colts. Only the present revived interest in the horse may save him from extinction. BIEMER FILES APPEAL Ft.
