,\ HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 847 



the state's old breeders who closed out in 1919 

 but likes Shorthorns so well he cau not do with- 

 out them. The small, biit choice, herd recently 

 acc|uired consists of two heifers conhng from 

 Tonison Bros.; two l:)ought at the 1920 Central 

 Sale, one of which is among the best young cows 

 I have seen lately and the fifteen-month-old 

 grand champion heifer sold at the Sou.tlioast 

 Kansas Show and Sale April 1920 for 45SOO. 

 Park E. Salter furnished the bull. He is by 

 Rosewood Dale out of a dam by Sultan Victor, 

 the well known (Teorge Allen bred s:»n of A^ictor 

 Sultan. Ml'. Black has grandsons wlio plan to 

 succeed him in the Shorthorn business. 



EDWARDS COUNTY 



J. P. Ray & Sons, Lewis. — I have seen an ex- 

 (•elleut young bull from tlie Ray lierd and as I 

 write I have before me a photogra^jh of three 

 calves fi'om eight to thirteen months old that 

 settles the question of size and quality. Mr. 

 Ray bouglit two cows in 1903 and two more in 

 1901. ISTotliing has Ijeen ])urchased since except 

 liei'd l)ulls, yet he has sold a lot of stock and is 

 now holding annual bull sales from his lierd of 

 about 100 liead. This is my i<h-a of a safe and 

 sui'c l)usiness. Ko y^jiuig or middle-aged man, 

 who does as Mr. Ray has done, need worry about 

 the wolf at th(^ door in old age. 



One of the early bulls was Buccaneer by imp.
