A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 283 



impress that too mueli c<nild iKjt be said in liis 

 favor. Ill looking ov(!r liis calves I was stiaick 

 witli their valuable Shorthorn eharaeteristics. 

 They have plenty of size and are iinif oriii in type 

 and general appearance and they are excellent 

 feeders. This bull is Cedar Dale. He is not par- 

 ticularly impressive in appearance and has been 

 deh(,)rned, liut as a sire of i-eal Shorthorns he 

 will need to be classed among the truly good Kan- 

 sas bulls. 



Mr. Leidy for the first time entered the show 

 ring at the 1920 Kansas National in Wichita and 

 w(_)n more than the usual honors given new ex- 

 hiliitors. His young herd bull, recently bought 

 of T(.»mson J)]'os., was ])]aced fifth following the 

 eritries of the professional show men with highly 

 fitted animals. His young herd won second place 

 in the contest and two of his junior heifer calves 

 were well in the money. It is a great credit to 

 any breeder to be able to make a showing in such 

 closely contested classes. 



Ml'. Leidy has creditably served his district as 

 state seiiatoi' and is recognized as one of the liest 

 orators in Kansas. Those wlio have visited the 

 I^eidy home will agree that much of the success 

 achieved with Shortlioi'iis is due to Mrs. Leidy 

 who takes an unusual interest in the cattle and 

 wliose judgment on Shortiiorns is excellent.
