seriously considered ; still this is not a reflection

John A. Yost, Perry. Mr. Yost is building up 

 a herd from a small start made three years ago. 

 Two of his good cows are Kate's Pride 9th and 

 Wildeyes. Kate's Pride 9th is by Baronet of 

 Maine Valley bred by Chandler Jordan, the 

 breeder of Mr. Saunder's great bull, Cumber- 

 land. Wildeyes is by Scotchman's Model and 

 her dam is from the Eraser herd and by Falsetto. 

 The herd bull is Golden Orange 738541.

Andy J. James & Sons, Lenexa.* Some years 

 ago I formed the acquaintance of Col. James and 

 since that time I had thought of him as a suc-

 the guest of Col. and Mrs. James and to get an 

 insight into farming and farm life within view of 

 a big city. Picture a 400 acre farm of the very 

 choicest land, in a rich part of Kansas, the com- 

 mercial value of which is easily $300 per acre, 

 every acre of which will grow alfalfa or great 



One and one-half miles from Overland Park on Strang (inter- 

 urban) Line.
