Figures Disclose One Horse To Farm "Look, there's a horse!" In this age, that is a fairly na- turaI exclamation on seeing one of these noble animals in the country. Recent estimates by Canada De- partment of Agriculture econom- ists show there is now about one horse to a farm'in Canada where, 40 years ago, the ratio was five to a farm. The number of horses fell from a peak of 3,450,000 in 1921 to about 570,000 in 1960. That is also about the number of tractors' on farms. As the horse was displaced by the tractor, the farmer's chores decreased and grain and pasture became available for other live- stock. It has been estimated that the acreage of oats and tame hay re- leased by the decline in horse pop- ulation over the last 30 years is 6.7 millions and, if pasture is in- cluded, the land made available in this way for other uses amounts to 10 million improved acres. The Royal Commission on Can- ada's Economic Prospects con- cluded that between 1941 and 1955 some five million acres of land were freed for other uses through the replacement of horses by trac- tors, but added that in the next 25 years no more than two million acres of improved land could be freed in this way. Despite a 21/2 million drop in the number of horses between 1929 and 1959, there was an increase of 11.8 per cent in total animal un- its in that period. Grain -consum- ing animals were up 12.7 per cent but hay eaters were down 1.5 per cent. The larger number of cattle on farms has not entirely absorb- ed the forage production formerly consumed by greater numbers of horses and sheep. Horse numbers first climbed ov- er the three million mark- in 1915. In 1933 they dropped below three million; in 1947 below two million and in 1954 below one million. In 1959 the horse population was lo- cated Mainly in the prairies -312,- 000 head; central provinces 240,- 000, Atlantic provinces 39,000, and British Columbia 23,000. The 1956 census reported 19,500 horses elsewhere than on farms, which would include racing stock and officials think that this figure has not declined, The several thou- sand wird horses and ponies in Canada are not recorded in the census. of Time and Talents was present- ed by the following ladies: Mrs. C. Boyd, Mrs. G. McNichol, Mrs. R. Wildfong, Mrs. E. Beuerman and Mrs. L. Leeming. Good used clothing for the bale is to be brought to the June meet- ing; Mrs. William Dennis is to help Mrs. Stimore pack the bale. Some of the supply work (scarfs and knitting) was brought in.

A dona- tion of $35 was voted to the Mis- sionary and Maintenance Fund. The coppers for the contest are to be brought "to the June meeting. The Red Cross sewing 'is to be brought in as soon as possible. The June meeting is to be held at the home of Mrs. Ed. Regele. It was decided to scrub the church on Wednesday, May 31.
