THE SUFFOLK 167 



In this country up to this time they have been best known in 

 Iowa, but important studs have been established in recent years 

 in Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Illinois. Small studs 

 have also been formed in other states, notably Massachusetts, 

 Washington, and Oregon. 



The promotion of the Suffolk horse has long been conducted 

 by the Suffolk Horse Society in England, and in 1880 this 

 organization published the first studbook of the breed. Up to 

 January, 1919, this association had published twenty-two volumes. 

 The American Suffolk Horse Association was organized in 1911 

 and up to 1919 had published but two volumes of its studbook. 



The prices paid for Suffolk horses have greatly strengthened 

 in recent years, but the demand for them has been essentially 

 local. One thousand dollars is recorded as paid for mares in 

 1919, an<j the stallion Freston Khedive changed hands at $6250. 

 The Suffolk mare Beatrice was sold at Sudbourne, England, for 

 $4500, and her foal brought $1500.
