STALLION REGISTRATION WORK IN KANSAS
The Stallion License Law was enacted in 1910, creating the
Kansas State Live Stock Registry Board to carry out its provisions
for the Improvement of Horse Industry in Kansas. While the
number of stallions licensed for Public Service has decreased year
by year since the passing of the Law the season of 1922 shows a very
considerable increase in the percentage of purebred stallions standing for public service over any other year as shown by these
figures:
These figures show that 77.3% of all stallions standing for
Public Service in 1922 were Pure-bred as compared with 40.7% in
1910, and that the percentage of Grades and Scrubs combined has
decreased from 58.9% to 22.5% all of which has been of direct
benefit to the Horse Industry and at the same time of Great Benefit
to tho Stallion and Mare owner.
The Attention of the Kansas Stallion Owners is especially directed to the following statements and provisions of the law:
