A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 371

D. Wohlschlegel & Sons, Harper. From high 

 grades to pure breds is only a step but a very 

 logical one to take on $100 an acre land and the 

 men who take such a step almost invariably put

 herd will be no exception. Two years ago a start

 and also the Tomson bred Lady Violet 2d by

 Victor Sultan r a son of Whitehall Sultan. Prior 

 to this they had bought Stamford Bess, a Can- 

 adian bred cow by Royal Star, a son of Choice 

 Star 611569 out of Lovelace 6th by Scottish 

 Beau. These are all cows of great excellence and, 

 added to several very good ones already on the 

 farm, give a working herd that will be recognized
