It is understood Dr. Alexander contemplates starting a course with opening of the term Sept. 20 if sufficient interest and cooperation are forthcoming. He received his doctor’ s degree in Agriculture at the University of Florida and has been associated with the department at MTSC for the past year. The likelihood is that the course will be on Saturday mornings.
Veteran Tennessee Walking Horse people— who know of the nationwide interest in the breed— regard the project of a college course as a major breakthrough in behalf of Walking Horse promotion. They point out that the Murfreesboro state-supported institution is ideally situated for development of this type of course.
The college is developing a 200- acre farm south and east of the college campus itself. Facilities have been installed for cattle, a dairy herd is in operation, a poultry laying house has been constructed, and nearby is a barn-where several stalls for Tennessee Walking Horses may be easily constructed.
The college farm adjoins property owned by a prominent Tennessee Walking Horse breeder and several training barns are in the vicinity.
It is understood the Breeders ' Association committee will confer with state officials to solicit their interest and help, and also prepare a report to the association directors recommending whatever action is advisable from the viewpoint of the association.
Murfreesboro is located near the center of the so-called Tennessee Walking Horse Country1— a Bluegrass region that extends into some 20 Tennessee counties. The soil in this area, with certain limestone and phosphate qualities, is said to make possible a succulent type of grass ideally suited for horse production. A State of Tennessee bulletin issued on the state’ s horse industry, some years ago, said this Bluegrass land is found only in two states in America— 193,000 acres in Tennessee and 1,577,000 acres in Kentucky.
Dr. Alexander is expected to request specifically that the Breeders’
Dr. Schmuck Writes About Brown Spot
Dr. Harold C. Schmuck of 1699 Miday Ave. NE, East Canton, 30, Ohio, presents an interesting question with this letter:
“ I have just recently begun breeding Tennessee Walkers— and have a good stallion— a son of Merry Boy from a Midnight Sun daughter, Midnight Pleasure R. G.
“ I am interested in Genetics and wonder if you might know from what bloodline the small brown dot in the blazed faces of these colts arises from?
" I have three colts and a filly with this identical marking— and in reading one of my horse books I find the picture of a foal with the identical brown spot over the left eye.
" I am really pleased you are going to publish the magazine and wish you success. By the way, I read your book three or four times and it’ s GREAT!”
( Editor’ s Note— Thank you much, Doctor, I have talked to a veteran breeder and he believes those dots are just coincidents and do not characterize a bloodline. However some of our readers may have other ideas. Anyone knowing Lite answer to Dr. Schmuck’ s question is invited to send him said answer. BAG.)
Just Add A Year, Says Jayne
The Voice meant to accept only subscriptions for one year at the start but we have a two-year job forced upon us. Jayne Dock, 402 42nd Street, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, subscribed for herself then had a gift subscription from a friend. She was informed of the duplication. She replied.“ As to what to do with tire second subscription. How about making it for the second year.”
( Will do, Jayne, and thank you. BAG.)
Association assist in supplying experts in the field of training and breeding to serve as lecturers and visiting instructors in some phases of the course.
Retiring President Glenn Turner ' s report at the association meeting showed registrations of horses exceeded 3,350 during the year, association membership has increased and the association’ s treasury stands at approximately $ 83,000 without indebtedness.
Several items of a routine nature were discussed. A committee was named to investigate suggestions that date for the annual meeting be changed. A picnic at the Marshall County Recreation Center followed the meeting.
