Cen. Edgar Woods Topped the Market
for Cattle from His Ranch

Many Jackson friends of Gen.
Edgar H. Woods, formerly of
Rosedale, who is now engaged
in stock raising in Barron county,
KY, will be much interested to
learn of his success in the great
industry that is attracting so
much attention in our own state.
A live stock journal published
at Louisville states that General
Woods recently marketed a car
load of fancy heifers at that
place at $40 per 100, the highest
price ever paid in the Louisville
market.
A few days later General
Woods sent from his cattle ranch
a carload of yearling white faced
heifers that sold on the Chicago
market for $l0.40 per 100, the
sale realizing more than $1,000.
Although the stock farm of
General Woods is located in Ken
tucky's best agricultural region,
conditions for raising live stock
are no better than they are here
