In the easternCotton Belt (east of Texas and Louisiana), where negro farmers are most numerous(see Figs. 116 and 117), there are twice as many mature mules as horses. The popularityof mules is also increasing in the North and West. Whereas the number of horsesover 1 year of age on farms in the United States was only 6 per cent greater in 1920than in 1910, the number of mules Increased 33 per cent. This rate of increase wasalmost as great in the North as in the South. Mules, it will be noted, are used oafarms in every State of the Union. 474 Yearbook of the Depari/ment of Agrieultwre, Fio. 78.—The number of pure-bred horses of saddle and carriage breeds in the UnitedStates was only about one-ninth the number of those of draft breeds In 1920. The rela-tively large number of these saddle and carriage horses in Kentucky and adjacent por-tions of Illinois and Indiana, also in Virginia and Maryland, is noteworthy. These areareas famous in song and story for their fine horses, and despite the decline ofhorse racing as a sport, and the decreased use of horses for riding and driving, breedersand horse fanciers In these States retain a large number of pure-bred saddle ^nd carriagehorses. Probably only a small number, however, are used for breeding.
