SCHEME FOR BREEDING OF HORSES
SUBSIDIZED STALLIONS IN 25 DISTRICTS (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, October 28. The Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) gave some interesting information to a racing club deputation today on the work so far accomplished by the Department of Agriculture, •in conjunction with the authorities of the Racing Conference, on the remounts subsidy regulations. He said that 33 districts had been created, and 25 had now subsidized 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 tihe 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.
