Horse shortages loom in Marshall Putnam farms as horse breeding stalls
Illinois survey from the Illinois Agricultural Association and Farm Bureaus shows 545 horses on 57 Putnam farms and 4423 on 514 Marshall farms. Across 32 515 Illinois farms in 43 counties the total horse count reaches 238 646. With 465 412 brood mares producing 8 918 colts in the quarter ending July 1 1920 and an average horse age of 13 years a shortage of good farm horses is forecast unless colt output doubles. Continued inactivity may worsen the situation.
