traces back to Rex on the sire's side. and
is only the third generation from the i'm

a valuable member of the herd. Gold Dol

Chrome 18th of the Hood Farm. Pedro's
Pride, Jenny June, is out OF notable
cow, La-Rilla I'd, who traces back four
times in direct line to Pedro of World
Fair fame, and one other strain or plood
was from Signal Mine I'd, so that she is
of a line of great butter records. The
other cows are largely of Pedro blood, be-
ing sired by Pedro of Leyden, a grandson
OF Pedro Of Worlds Fair fame, who was
owned by Severance & Sons five years.
Another strain of blood was introduced
into the herd when the firm bought Chro-
mo 18th of Hood Farm, and this cross
with the Pedro blood proved satisfactory.
