BREEDING HORSES
GOVERNMENT’S SCHEME By Telegraph PresJs Association WELLINGTON, October 28. 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 the authorities of the Racing Conference in connection with the remounts subsidy regulations. The Minister 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 had already been achieved should go a long way towards the encouragement of the breeding of a good stamp of horse. The day of the horse was 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, which had been 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.
