As the Dutch Belted, Kerry and West Highland had only one herd 

 of each and the Devons only a few entries where there was competition 

 I have not credited their winnings to the states in which they were owned. 

 Indiana exhibited Short-horns, Herefords, Polled Durhams, Galloways 

 and Jerseys. In all "these except the Herefords she is ahead and she 

 won both senior championships and both grand championships for Here- 

 fords. The World's Fair ofllcials considered the breeders' premier cham- 

 pionship the best prize offered to a breed. Indiana won four out of a 

 possible five. On the Short-horn exhibit we had a cash prize on every 

 animal shown. We know of no other state with such a record.

Professor Busby telephoned me a few days ago and asked me to look 

 up the data on the exhibit of short-horns in the dairy classes at the St. 

 Louis Fair. He sent me a programme showing the subject he was down 

 to discuss. He said he would not be able to attend the meeting and ask?d 

 me to take his subject.
