ALLEN COUNTY 



S. M. Knox, Humboldt.* This herd of thirty 

 females was established in 1914 and two years 

 later the grades kept on the farm were all sold. 

 Mr, Knox began showing at county fairs in 1917 

 and has been showing since that time in Allen, 

 Wilson, Neosho and Bourbon counties. His win- 

 nings have been good. The young stock is quite 

 well grown, and while not fitted, is shown in 

 splendid farm condition. He has contributed to 

 the Southeast Kansas sales at both Coffeyville 

 and Independence and at the fall show at Inde- 

 pendence in 1919 his entries were good winners. 



The first bull used in the herd and one that 

 proved an unusual breeder of good sized, smooth 

 stock was Roan Lord. He was by Lord Mayor 

 3d, a first-class show bull, that was a son of old 

 Lord Mayor out of Forest Daisy, own sister to 

 Tomson Bros. ' Forest Daisy 2d, the dam of the 

 International and Royal champion, New Year's 

 Delight. The next bull was Knox Knoll Dale, a 

 son of the grand champion Whitehall Rosedale 

 out of Village Maid 42d by imp. Bapton Coronet. 

 This bull was large and bred large, and from the 

 straight-lined cows in the herd attractive, good
