416 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



other herds in Johnson county. It consisted 

 of good reliable cattle carrying in the top crosses 

 the best blood of the breed as introduced by Col. 

 Harris, H. E. Hayes, C. F. Wolf and others.

 breeder. 



At Park E. Salter's 1919 Wichita sale, the 

 Kellys bought the elegant roan yearling, Laven- 

 der 48th for $2000. This was doubtless the best 

 heifer in the sale and her sire, Rosewood Dale, is 

 the well known son of Avondale now owned by 

 John B. Potter. Her dam is the Edwards, Can-

 a son of Star of Morning. They also bought two 

 other strictly high-class young cows, both bred 

 to the $10000 2d Fair Acres Sultan. One is by 

 the Grerlaugh bred Morning Plash. Her dam, 

 Missie May by Pride of Morning, is out of imp. 

 Missie 139th. With this cow was secured a roan 

 heifer calf by Overlook Flash.
