Region 13 — Oklahoma and Arkansas — E . L . Burgess , Sherrill , Arkansas .
Region 14 — Maryland , Virginia , West Virginia and Washington , D . C . — Fred M . Black , Broadway , Va . 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 .
