INTRODUCTION

The statistics of this bulletin have been compiled from material from various sources. Receipts and shiJ>ments of liorses and mules at pub~ lie stockyards are from data of the reporting service of the Live~ stock, Meats, and Wool Division, which. was maugurated under the authority of an act of Congress dated August, 1916, authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture to "gather * * * compile * * * and J>Ublish * * * any information pertaining to the marketing and distribution of livestock, meats, and animal by-products." ·

It has been difficult to obtain a satisfactory accumUlation of price data on: these classes of livestock, owing to the deterioration of the market value of horses and mules in recent years, due, no doubt, to the enormous increase in the number and uses of motor vehicles of various descriptions. Such prices as can be obtained are hardly comparable w1th quotations of former years, owing to changes in grades quoted. The prices for the United States used in this bUlletin have been obtained from the Chicago Drovers' Journal Yearbook and from commercial daily papers, while prices other than in the United States have beE)n collected from official statistics of the re­spective countries.

Reports of the Bureau of the Census, Bureau of Animal Industry, and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce have also been used in the compilation of the data used.

The material used for tractors, trucks, and automobiles has been drawn from various bulletins issued by the Department of Agriculture from time to time, from the Bureau of Pubhc Roads, and from the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. ·

Sources of data used in the preparation of each table are indicated at the foot thereof.

I Prepared under the direction of Mrs. Florence C. Fitch, Market Statistics Section; Miss Georgia E. Cantrell, Foreign Production Statistics Unit; Perry Elliott, Section of Domestic Production Statlstics; James J. Window, Market Statistics Section; and Miss Oarollne 0.

I Official statistics of respective countries. In working up this table the area figure used includes the area in crops, fallow land, hay, and vineyards. In computing the figure for work animals, as far as pos­sible, only those animals were included which are-actually used in farm work. The classifications of the variOus countries ure so different, however, that notes have been added in each case to indicate just what figure has been taken.

' Horses over 3 years old used for agricultural purposes, and work oxen. ' Assuming that about 30 per cent of the young horses were between 2 and 3 years old, land cultivated

per farm-work animal, including horses over 2 years old, would amount to about 19.8 acres. 'Census. • Horses and mules over 2 years old on farms. ' Horses used for agriculture including mares kept for breeding. ' E11ropean Russia, northern Caucasia and the Ukraine. · 8 Work horses and oxen. (Figures were given for work oxen in the Recuoil de Donn~es Statistiques et

Economiques of Russia, 1917, p. 658. The figures given in this table for 1920, although not designated as work oxen, are approximately the same per cent of the total number of cattle as in 1917.)

' Includes oxen, buffaloes, horses, and mules used for agricultural purposes. IO Stallions, mares, geldings, mules, asses, and work oxen in 1914. n Work buffaloes, oxen, and horses. "Bullocks and full-grown male buffaloes, horses and maros, and total number of mules, donkeys, and

' Hecords of Division of Crop and Livestock Estimates, former Bureau ol Crop Estimates, as published In the Monthly Crop Reporter. February, 1018, p. 10.

'l'hese estimates are based upon several thousand reports of special livestock reporters ol the former Bureau of Crop Estimates. Their individual estimates vary con.•lstently with each other. For example, in Wisconsin, of 152 reports received 134 were within a range of 200 pounds; and part ol this range was due to actual differences in different parts of the State, 40 of the 152 reporters estimated exactly 1,300 pounds.
