Wild Horses lit
Oregon Number '
About 10,000
SALKNt, Ore.. Apr. 28 (AP)
Dr. W. H. Lytlo,tstato veterinari
an, said that Oregon has at least
10,000 wild homes with nearly alt
of them In tho southeastern sec
tion of tho state. Lytic said that
the actual wild horse census of
the western states will never bo
taken and that only cstimjatcs can
bo made.
The most satisfactory -way to.
mako an estimate, ho said, is to
co unt tho wild horses seen .In
known areas In vurloua districts,
then determine the average num
ber per square, mile, multiplying
this by tho grazing area, Lytic
explained. Tho n vet hod, while
considered tho most nearly accuraet
Is liable to error In counting
steulthy and timid animals.
California officials In this man
ner estimated about 7000 deer in
tho Stnnilaus national forest, but
when It became necessary to kill
these anlmntsf Ive years ago bc
causo of hoof and mouth dlseaso
thero proved to be more than 20,
000. This is likely to bo true of ;
the wild horses. It is believed,
how over, that thero aro ut least
lo.OUO wild horses In Southeastern
Oregon, 15,000 In Northern Ne
vada, S000 In Washington, 0000 in
Idaho und 12,000 In Montana.
Dcnmiui Growing.
Thero is a growing demand,
Lytlo said, that ' worthless wild
horses bo disposed of since they
eat or destroy much of the flno :
grass In tho western states. It
In' estimated that ono horse eats
ono and one-fourth times as much
grass us a cow und six Unites-as
much us sheep. Pecauso they can
go muich farther to water than
either sheep or cattlo they cat the
grass 'away fro ml these animals. a
Ordinarily, the grass would bo used
os: cured winter feed when snow
water would bo available.
. , Sunve stockmen liavo ' suggested t
bombing airplanes be used to get
rid1 of tho horses In certain .dls--tricts
particularly the. Tuseorora ,
mountains In Nevada whero It Is
aliiMjHt Impossible to got them, oth
erwise. Their idea; however, la
not actually to slaughter tho uiU
nulls by bom.bs but to frighten
them out of tho mountains nnd
into country where they; can bo
killed by moro humane methods or
sold ito horse imeat concerns. Tho
demand for horses by meat con
cerns Is such thut they doubtless
would buy the unlmtils should It
pro.vo possible to round thorn up.
In ovont of tho .round up- for this
purposo the nninvils would, bo hold
for four days to give anyone op
portunity to prove ownership. If
ownership -was not proven . the
m!:ney would be paid by tho pur- 1
chasers to tho persons rounding
thorn up. -.. -. .
