PRINCE OF ALL P0lLtD HEREFORD S|RES
NOW OWNED BY WOOLF- -CROMER CATTLE CO,

w. +. WOOlf, of the WOOlf-
Cromer Cattle Co., received a
telegram Monday, from his part
ner, F. w. CrOmer, dated Strong.
hurst, Illinois, Feb. 4, containing
the information that he had bid
in registered polled, two year
old bull, paying $500 for the
same.
Mr.. CrOmer has been east since
the latter part of January repre-
senting the Woolf. Cromer Cattle
Co. at the annual meeting of the
Hereford Association. which was
held in Des Moines. January 3Oth.
Des Moines, Iowa, is the head.
quarters Of the Polled and Horned
Registered Hereford Association
of the United States and all the
records are kept there.
On the 31st of January the first
Of a series of four sales was held,
which continued until February
3rd and on the evening of the third
q train Of sleepers was made up
aud the breeders and buyers left
for Stronghurst, ILL.,, where the
fourth sale was held
The sales at Des Moines, were
held at the state fair grounds and
Hereford cattle from all over the
United States was offered for sale
Fat auction. The highest price paid
there was 80, ,OOO. AT the Strong.
hurst sale. Mr.. CrOmer had to pay
the highest price of the four sales
to purchase the animal he desired,
as there were at least fifty breeders
who desired the same bull and
were prepared to pay a stiff price
for him.
CrOmer will return to MObridge
as soon as the trains can through
but the bull will not be shipped
until the month of June as the
weather is too severe at the present
time to take chance with such a
valuable animal.
The bull purchased at the Strong.
hurst sale is one of the very top
nCtchers of the breed and bred to
top notch cows. the cream of their
herd, calves will be produced that
will sell from $500 to ST. 900 each,
and as the calf crop will be at
least forty head. yearly. it can
readily be seen where they can
afford to pay such sum for one
animal.
1t is the grandsons and great
grand sons of this sire that will be
selling for money that will place
the animals in the reach of the
ranchers who will benefit in the
manner of the man in the follow
ing letter.
The Woolf- Cromer Cattle Co.. 3,
now have three herds headed by
sires that range in price from
81 900 to 81, 900 and the cream of
their cows will make up the herd
for their new sire and they have
enough registered cows on hand
now tn make up several more
herds and it is their intention to
head each herd hereafter with the
best bulls that money can buy.
Messrs, Woodland Cromer have
been operating together almost
continuously for the past twenty
years aud the magnificent herd of
pure bred registered .polled and
horned COWS and the financial
ability to purchase the class of
siyes they are now buying is the
aulmination Of those years of hard
labor.
The writer was always skeptical
about the high price paid for the
different animals ofSte breed and
WAS pretty much under the i'm
precision that there was something
lnhoney abopt the prices. Desir-

on the question in doubt, a letter
was mailed to the Forest Service
of the United States Department
of Agriculture relative to the
matter and received the following
amazing answer in reply which is
positive proof of the ultimate re-
suit of purebred sire in any herd:
L. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
FOREST SERVICE
WASHINGTON
June 13, 1916.
Mr.. ROderick Weir,
MObridge, South Dakota.
Dear sir:
Your letter May %, has been
handed to me for reply.
The stock mentioned in the
clipping which you attached to
your letter, were grazed upon the
Cache National Forest in the
northern part Of Utah. Our Sup
ervisors are requested to mention
especially interesting sales of live
stock shipped from the National
Forests during the shipping sea.
son.
The stock referred to in this
clipping were turned ON to the
forest for grazing at the same
time early in the spring. In the
fall they were gathered and ship
ped to Omaha to the same COM
mission firm, and sold on the same
day. 1t is, therefore, possible to
make very close estimates as to
the comparative value of the two
bunches of stock. The ones which
were we'll bred were Herefords
and averaged two hundred pounds
heavier than than the second lot,
which were very common cattle OF
non descript breeding. and netted
$40 per head more than did the
scrub stock.
Considering the fact that each
bunch of steers cost approximately
the same amount to raise and carry
through their grazing life, it was
an excellent illustration of the
benefits which every stockman de-
rives from raising and handling
only the best kind of stock, wheth-
er it be sheep, cattle, hogs or
horses. The policy of the Forest
Service has always been to en-
courage stOckmen in raising better
cattle by pointing out to them that
the grazing fees are exactly the
same for a pure bred as scrub,
also that the winter feed costs the
same and the amount consumed is
exactly. Our regulations support
the stOckmen in this important
proposition by allowing the ma
jorlty of the permittees on an
area in Forest to get together
and determine whether or not
scrub stock shall be banished from
the range. If a majority of the
permittees on district or an
entire forest decide that thew want
to raise only pure bred stock, the
regulations are 80 formed that the
minority must accept the situation
and abide by the decision of the
majority. In this way we hope
to greatly increase the output of
meat from the forests which will
benefit not only the individual who
owns the stock. but the nation at
large.
The name of the man who own
ed the Hereford pure bred stock
Yves Hillman. and that Of the own
er of the scrub cattle. Underwood.
They both grazed on the Oxford
Division of the Cache National
Forest in northern Utah. l regret
that our reports do not give their
initials.
Very truly yours,
WILL q. BARNES.
