634 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



old county that is carrying on a revival promis- 

 ing lasting results. 



The Kansas National Show held at Wichita in 

 1921 was remarkable for the excellent showing 

 made by Kansas breeders. Tomson Bros, were 

 the leading winners, outclassing both Carpenter 

 & Ross and H. C. Lookabaugh. E. L. Stunkel 

 succeeded in getting his herd bulls well in the 

 money, having received second in the two-year- 

 old class and fifth in aged class. E. P. Flan- 

 agan's herd bull stood immediately below the 

 professional showmen in the aged class. Fred 

 Abildgaard had several entries of his young 

 stock in the money, as did also Fremont Leidy. 

 Gaeddert Bros, were, as usual, good winners, re- 

 ceiving third on aged bull, with all their entries 

 well in the money. J. C. Robison won five 

 prizes on his entries of imported cattle and H. 

 E. Huber won a good place on his imported bull, 

 Imperator. 



All over the state there is a feeling that the 

 era of high prices induced speculation that was 

 not conducive to herd improvement. Specula- 

 tion has now had its day and we may expect the 

 breeder to lose some of his commercial spirit and 

 to devote more time to producing good stock.
