Fever Farm Horses Decline Threatens Maryland Farms
Maryland farm horse numbers have fallen from 155 000 in 1910 to 112 000 in 1926, a drop driven by motorization and new machinery. Federal statistician John S Dennee warns the pace will continue at about 6 000 annually, possibly making farm horses extinct within 25 years. Tractors rose from 1 525 in 1920 to 4 026 in 1925, signaling a shift to mechanization.
