A HISTORY OF SHOHTHORNS IN KANSAS 267 



auction in Wichita, May 16, 1919, brought out a 

 large crowd from a number of states. The sale 

 was a success in every way with a general aver- 

 age for the entire lot of more than $1500 making 

 it the record sale for the state. The top j)rice for 

 bulls was $10000 paid for 2d Fair Acres Sultan 

 and for females $3500 paid for Cherry Blossom 

 6th. Two bull calves and two heifer calves by 

 imp. Baptou Corporal brought an average of 

 $1450 and a yearling heifer by Rosewood Dale 

 brought $2000. 



When the 1920 sale was annoimced for May 15. 

 there were those who wondered if Mr. Saltei- 

 would be able to secure so high an average as the 

 year before. It was pointed out that he did not 

 have a $10000 two-year-old bull to help pull 

 values up and that the money market which was 

 tight would naturally affect purchases of high 

 priced stock. The day was rainy but a large 

 crowd from seven states was present and the 

 entire offering from Park Place Farm was sold 

 at an average of more than $1900. Missie 's Last 

 a six-year-old grandson of Whitehall Sultan that 

 had been doing service in the herd brought $6100 

 going to H. C. Lookabaugh and the fifteen- 

 month-old Emblem Jr. by imp. British Emblem 

 went to E. S. Dale of Protection, Kansas at 

 $4000. Miss Snowbird Sultan and her white 

 heifer calf by Fair Acres Sultan Jr. went to Car- 

 penter & Ross at $5000 and Lady Supreme,
