HEREFORDS COMMAND
BETTER PRICES TODAY

Columbus, aged four years, enjoys
the distinction of being the highest
priced Hereford sold at the auction
conducted by the American Hereford
Breeders association. Columbus went
for 1920, the top price of the sale and
the one male that brought price rang
ing up with the prices realized at last
years sale.
The Hereford sale closed late yester-
day afternoon with a total of ninety
one head sold, at an average price of
$153.73. Yesterdays sale included
forty-five head and the average went
up to $165, or nearly 20 per cent higher
than Tuesdays average, which was
$142.80. The average for the sale,
$153.73, is about 10 per cent lower than
last year, when the average went up to
Sizes.
I With the single exception of Column
bus. the cows brought much better
prices than the bulls, and were in much
greater demand The highest price re-
allied for a cow was $500. Columbus,
the champion sale bull, was bred by
Benton Colbert, of Dearborn, Mo-, and
was purchased by Jesse Adams, Of
Mowequa, ILL.,, who a few years ago
paid $4,000 for half brother of the
animal he purchased yesterday for $72O.
The gratifying feature Of the sale,
from the associations standpoint, is
that only fifteen of the ninety -one
head were sold to other than Mime
SotanS.
The association put up $4,000 in
purses and the fair association an
equal amount. The Hamline show is
one of the three international Here
ford show points, and this year many
exhibitors who have never before
shown in Minnesota, brought their
herds to Hamline, making it one Of the
best.
The highest-priced cow was purchas-
ed by Col. c. H. Wilkinson, and will
go to his Crookston farm Col. WiIkin-
son was the heaviest purchaser at the
sale and as result will add about fif-
teen choice heads to his Hereford
herd.
