Much has been written of the natural advantages and exceptional facilities for thoroughbred production ut the Macombcr French studs and little of value can be added in this regard, but the appended summary of the stallions and brood mares at 1 lie two farms, their 1921 produce and the stallions to which the mares were bred for MB, gives a new light on the magnitude of the American breeders activities overseas.
