BREEDING OF HORSES
REMOUNTS SUBSIDY SCHEME GOOD RESULTS HOPED FOR [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION} "WELLINGTON, Friday The Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E. 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 authorities of the Racing Conference, in connection with tho remounts subsidy regulations. Tho Minister said that 33 districts had been created and 25 had now subsidised stallions. Tho course seemed well set for the success of the Government's scheme. What was already achieved should go a long way toward the encouragement of breeding a good stamp of horse. The day of the horse had not yet passed, although in recent years' it had been seriously threatened. it was hoped that tho bringing into active operation of tho Remounts Encouragement Act, which had been buried in the Statute Book since 1914, and under it Stato assistance, coupled with the aid extended by the racing authorities to breeders, would give a stimulus to. tho breeding of different types of horses.
