70 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



when Fred E. Miller, farm foreman, and Regent 

 Hudson purchased from Andrew Wilson of 

 Shawnee county, the bull Zena King 151801 

 ($400), and the heifers Grace Young 4th ($800), 

 Grace Young 5th ($1080), and Kate Kee ($400). 

 Grace Young 5th proved to be a remarkable

 the men in charge of the Department of Agricul-
