Lack Of Horses Warns Of High Prices In Coming Years
Prof. E. C. Hope of the University of Saskatchewan warns that horse shortages loom as few horses are being raised. A survey across 177 farms in the Qu Appelle valley shows 171 horses died, 75 colts born, and 67 colts broken in, with less than half the needed number raised. He predicts rapid price increases around 1937 or 1938, and says faster tractor adoption may not curb demand.
