A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 267 



auction in Wichita, May 16, 1919, brought out a 

 large crowd from a number of states. The sale 

 was a success in every way with a general aver- 

 age for the entire lot of more than $1500 making 

 it the record sale for the state. The top price for 

 bulls was $10000 paid for 2d Pair Acres Sultan 

 and for females $3500 paid for Cherry Blossom 

 6th. Two bull calves and two heifer calves by 

 imp. Bapton Corporal brought an average of 

 $1450 and a yearling heifer by Rosewood Dale 

 brought $2000, 



When the 1920 sale was announced for May 15, 

 there were those who wondered if Mr. Salter 

 would be able to secure so high an average as the 

 year before. It was pointed out that he did not 

 have a $10000 two-year-old bull to help pull 

 values up and that the money market which was 

 tight would naturally affect purchases of high 

 priced stock. The day was rainy but a large 

 crowd from seven states was present and the 

 entire offering from Park Place Farm was sold 

 at an average of more than $1900. Missie's Last 

 a six-year-old grandson of Whitehall Sultan that 

 had been doing service in the herd brought $6100 

 going to H. C. Lookabaugh and the fifteen- 

 month-old Emblem Jr. by imp. British Emblem 

 went to E. S. Dale of Protection, Kansas at 

 $4000. Miss Snowbird Sultan and her white 

 heifer calf by Pair Acres Sultan Jr. went to Car- 

 penter & Ross at $5000 and Lady Supreme,
