No Immediate Danger That Modern Horse Will Disappear From West By WILLIAM E. LOWELL WASHINGTON W) Apparently there ii no Immediate danger mat tne modern horse will disappear, as did little Eohlppus. Present day horses of the West are believed to have been de rived from the mounu lost strayed or stolen ot the Spnalsh conquistadores. , .. Eohlppus, whose fossilized bones have been found In western states, was a small four-toed creature of the Eocene age, which dence recognizes as one of the earliest ancestors of the horse and ot the Tapir and rhinoceros. True, the horse population of me west ana or. tne nation nas decreased heavily under the com' peiiuon oi motor equipment.

But a spokesman for the Agrl culture department says there is evidence the number of lighter animals is on the increase de spite an overal decrease in the numrjer oi norses. The Agriculture deDartment es timates there are only 984,000 horses In the 11 western states this year. That's 8 per cent less than a year ago, and compares with 2,154,000 in 1930. But there's still no better way to get a cow critter out of heavy underbrush or out of a steep mountain canyon than to go after her on horseback. The evidence indicates that cow-punchers strings are smaller but better. On the other hand, a winter like last year's has convinced some western ranchers that they are depending too much on motors. One Miles City, Montana, rancher said he found he could get around in the heavy snow with his teams and saddle ani mals but he didn't have enough of them. Another thing that is pushing the development of lightweight horses is an expansion of racing. The quarter horse was developed for that purpose and adapted to ranching needs. Harness racing has been gradually spreading along the Pacific Coast Still further impetus has been given by tne increasing popular ity of riding clubs. The agricul ture spokesman said these have been increasing, even in cities of no more than 5,000 population. He said there are between 500 and 600 of these clubs in Califor nia - alone. - Many - have been formed in the intermountain country. The old-time ranee horse, like the heavy draft animal, is disap pearing, ne sam. Buyers are De cerning more conscious of values. The war had something to do with a reduction of the scrub stock because: (1) Worthless animals were getting grass needed by meat stock; (2) horse meat is an acceptable food In some European countries and be came marketable; and (J) meat scraps for the pet dog or cat were almost non-exlstant and canned horsemeat came into use as pet food.

Sheepmen Call For Arbiters DENVER, --Colorado woolgrowers have called for an arbitration commission to settle mounting grazing disputes bet ween stockmen and the U.S. For est service. Their state association approv ed a resolution for the commis sion. It would include represent atives of the various groups con cerned with grazing permits on forest lands and of the public. Congressional action would be required to establish the com mission with legal authority to back up decisions. Forest service spokesmen in the past have op posed similar suggestions. The Colorado association will present its resolution to the an nual meeting of the National Woolgrowers association. Meantime, Dee Brownf ield, Demlng, N.

Response In . this - survey has been good, but not good enough to answer growers' and handlers' questions about tree numbers and future production,- according to M. D; Thomas, O.S.C. extension economist and joint leader of tha project. , : ''. , A complete Inventory of wal nut and filbert trees by ages and varieties was approved as a joint federal-state research project at the urgent request of the north west nut industry Such informa tion is not now available. Many report forms mailed No vember 17 have not been return ed, Thomas reports. These are needed to determine state and county totals and to complte the inventory of current plantings. Growers still have time to count their trees and report. A second reminder form will soon be sent to; those, who have not reported, he adds. , . ; -Individual reports are to be county totals and to complete the Thomas emphasizes. They are very important for this purpose but have no futher vahie -after they are Included In. the sum mary.

Percy J. Freeman of Portland wrote Rep. Holmes (R-Wash) he believed the bureau erred in as sessing 15 percent duty on the twine. He contended that the tar iff law provides for free entry of the twince. The. bureau re plied that court rulings make It clear the twine is dutiable. Freeman wrote Holmes be cause the representative's 'dis trict is a large user, of twine for baling hay. - State Livestock Theft .

However, just 434 acres were rejected out of the total 3472 acres entered for certifica tion. This figure compares favor ably with the 1332 acres rejected during 1948. Reason for' the Improvement, according to Johnson, was the fact that growers planted better quality seed, took more pains In roguing, had fewer insect pro blems with use of better Insect icides, and not to be overlooked, good luck.- , Clyde Ward, Baker, with 216 acres of Netted Gems, was the state's leading certified seed potato grower this year.
