BREEDING GOOD HORSES
SUCCESS OF REMOUNTS SUBSIDY \ 1 [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, October 28. Mr Parry gave some interesting information to a racing club deputation to-day on the work so far accomplished by the Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with the authorities of the Racing Conference, in connection with the remounts subsidy regulations. He said that 33 districts had been created, and 25 had now subsidised stallions. The course seemed well set for success of the Government’s scheme. What was already achieved should' go a long way towards the encouragement of the breeding of a good stamp of horse. The day of the horse had not yet passed, though in recent years it had been seriously threatened. it was hoped that the bringing into active operation of the Remounts Encouragement Act (buried in the Statute Book since 1914), and under it State assistance, coupled with aid extended by the racing authorities to breeders, would give a stimulus to the breeding of different types of horses.
