HORSES ARE VALUABLE — Aside from the fact that thousands of men and women in all parts of the country depend upon the breed ing and training of show horses as a partial or total means of liveli hood, horses are a valuable econo mic commodity. There are about 12,500,000 horses and mules in America, and vastly more of this number are horses than are mules. This census is suf ficient to cultivate and care for 325,000,000 acres of land that pro duce food or are in crop acreage. We have to have food to subsist. We have to have horses to have food. Horses today stand ready to take up the burden and help solve the transportation problem. No man can now say just how acute the need of the horse in this vital fac tor of our country’s life will be come. They are now aiding in city delivery service and will probably be called upon for a larger degree of help in the months to come. WHERE THE HORSE SHOW COMES IN — If horse shows had JULY, 1964 Body Wash: Leading trainers ad vise a daily Absorbine wash as ex cellent protection against lameness.

Young, Inc., Montreal 19, P.Q. been stopped twenty or thirty years ago we would not today have 12,500,000 horses and mules. And the crop, as it were, that we should now have would indeed be a sorry lot as compared with our present- day individuals. Horse shows stimulate interest in breeding. Horse shows furnish a field of competition. It’s the old, old story that “what’s mine is bet ter than yours.” They try to prove it in show arenas. Competition, wholesome and clean competition, is always a healthy stimulus to progress in any field of endeavor. America came to be great just that way — a man free to use his brain and his talent to produce some thing better than his fellows. Surprising isn’t it! Change a few dates and references to the war and you could almost say that the same holds true today. The horse show is indeed a wholesome recreational acti vity and assuming that we maintain clean competition in the show ring we can all benefit from all horse show activity. BUYING . . .
