SAX FRANCISCO, Dec. 12—Figures
on the most remarkable October Cali
fornia has experienced in many dec
ades, according to the United States
weather bureau, have just been given
out by the bureau here. The unusual
ly dry month aided the state to pro
duce and harvest one of the biggest
crops in its history and the sundrying
of fruits was expeciallv favored.
It was the first October in the his
tory of the weather bureau in which
no rain fell in the Eureka region. This
region is usually given a good drench
ing during this month. During the
first ten days of the month 100 dp
gree temperatures prevailed in some
parts of Southern California. Citrus
fruits were given great impetus be
cause of lack of numerous frosts.
The only rains of any consequence
w'ere thundershowers in the south
j western part of the state.

SOLVE
HELENA, Mont., Dec. 12.—A par
tial solution of the meat problem, \V.
F. Butler, state veterinarian of Mon
tana, is urging the slaughter of the
range horses of the northwest which
he declares are unprofitable for their
present purposes.
Hundreds of thousands who cannot
afford to buy beef would by this means
be supplied with meat, he declares,
and ten to 15 million dollars in cash
would be the return. Such a course
would also help to relieve the hay
shortage and provide range for a mill
ion cattle and several million head of
sheep, he believes.
"There is no staple market for the
light weight horse at the present
time." he declares In a statement on
the subject. "Its day of practical use
fulness is practically at an end. It
is a hay destroyer—a live liability
rather than a live asset. This does
not apply to the general utility draft
horse. The farm draft horse is an
asset to any country and will remain
an asset just as long as fields are
plowed and man grows crops for his
sustainence.
“We have in Montana probably 300,
000 light weight range animals and
throughout the northwest I would say
that there are over a million such
animals, and throughout the United
I
I States probably 5,000,000. Among
| certain people there is an inherited
I prejudice against horse flesh, bul
there are many people who have not
a prejudice against this food. In many
countries it has been used for hund
reds of years as a food product and
at the present time it is offered for
sale in New York, Cincinnati and St.
I Louis.
“In food value horse flesh is about
equivalent to lean beef. From a sani
tary standpoint, the horse is one of
the cleanest animals living. Its habits
require that it eat the purest food and
drink the best of water. It lives in
the open and Is freer from transmiss
able diseases than, are either cattle
or hogs.
“I am of the opinion that there will
1
be no difficulty in obtaining a steady
supply of liorse flesh for some time to
come. U'e received a communication'
! several days ago from one of the'
large' western horse markets saying!
| that it would contract to supply 3000!
j horses monthly for the next twelve'
months.”'
