Morris Ranch a Historic Texas training center in horse racing
The Morris Ranch in West Texas near the Pedernales River grew into a major race horse property developed by John A. Morris after 1895. It featured extensive barns and training tracks, a school and post office in stone buildings, and numerous family and labor crews. The era saw large-scale ranch life with fights over fences, cavalry visits, rattlesnake hunts, and shifts in ownership culminating in sale of much of the land by 1932 while a small core remained.

Corn Hog Prices Fall Due To Export Demand Decline
The graph shows a major drop in U S hog export demand since the 1919 peak. After World War I foreign purchases rose to about seventeen million hogs, then fell to four million postwar, as Europe boosts production and tariffs quotas limit imports. U S hog production rises, leaving excess supply at home and lowering prices. The corn hog production control plan from the Agricultural Adjustment Administration aims to restore balance and boost prices.
