On This Day | Tractors Will Never Replace the Horse on the Farm

Horses are going to be as scarce and as valuable as gold dollars in five years, is the prediction made by Dr. E. J. Walsh, well known Minot veterinarian. Farmers have quit breeding horses on account of low prices. Tractors will never replace the horse so long as men follow doctor. Besides, some farmers may make the tractor pay, but there are so many who will not give the tractor the proper care to make them a paying investment. The doctor urges the farmer to breed for a 1600-pound type. At that he sees plenty of 1400-pound horses which are just about the right size for the North Dakota farms.
