The Great Hereford
Sale at Kansas City

and" declared T. F. B. Sotham yes
terday. when they have once engaged
in the business, they will remain in It.
There never was a time when there
was such a strong and universal de-
mand for fine beef cattle as there is
now, land there is no reason why every
farmer of any means should not be
producing pure breds, or, at least, fine
grades. and great many reasons why
all of them should be-"
The COW Carnation 77704, who. with
the assistance of her buyer, Jesse C.
Adams. succeeded in breaking the
worlds record, undoubtedly was the
best animal offered in the four days
sale. She was sired by Acrobat 6S46O,
out of Erica 51st, 1928, and is soon
to calve by the great bull, Dale. for
whom Mr.. Graves paid $500 at r. A.
Nave's dispersion sale, and who has
won more blue ribbons than any other
Hereford bull living. Besides being well
bred. and well in calf. Carnation pos
sesses fine individuality. Her coat is of
a dark red cherry color; and the short
ness of her neck and legs, the breadth
of her wonderful back, the thickness of
her flesh. and her own remarkable beef
carving powers establish conclusively
that her offspring will be great beef
cattle. and it is for beef purposes that
Herefords are bred and raised.
Columbia I'd and Columbia, for whom
Mr.. Adams paid 1925 and $1,000, are
full sisters. both being by Columbus
51S75. out of Rose Blossom 1925. They
were bred by Glen Graves and are GER
tainly among the very best cows ever
sold here.
Jesse c. Adams, who bought the trio,
is a young Napoleon, in the Hereford
business. He is very youthful, being
only &c. but his father was a success
full breeder before him, and he under
stands the Hereford business thorough
ly Besides. he has more money than
he knows what to do with-a circum-
stance which enables him to pay any
price that he may think worth while

$1,000 for the COW, Milley May, at F. A.
Nave's dispersion sale last spring. A
week later he bought Blendress at the
sale of Tom c. Pointing & Sons, for

he gave $500 for the celebrated Eng
fish prize heifer, Lady Help. and bid
$500 on Dolly 5th, finally sold to c. A.
Jamison for $3.50. How determined
