AGRICULTURAL SURVEY OF EUROPE: GERMANY

POSTWAR HORSE SITUATION" 
During the war Germany lost a large number of horses, but eon- 
served the breeding stock to a high degree, so that in 1922 there wore 
only 116,000 fewer horses in the Republic than in the same territory 
before the war. Because of increased population the density per 
1,000 inhabitants was 60 in 1922 as compared with 66 in "1913. 
("Table 66.) In 1924 the census of December 1 places the number of 
civilian horses at 3,850,000, in addition to which there were about 
40,000 military horses. This is a larger number of horses, by 83,000, 
than was found within the boundaries of the present Republic in 
1913, but because of the increased density of the population the 
number per thousand inhabitants — 62 — is still less than before the 
war.
