GREAT HEREFORDS AT AMERICAN SHOW
 PLEASE ARIZONANS

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, Dec. 1. Tt was surely grand lot of Here fords," said Extension Director l.. r. Taylor, in referring to the prize-win ming Herefords he saw at the twenty fist annual American royal livestock show at Kansas City.
 The American royal is not primar fly a Hereford show" said Director Taylor, but it is the show where the Herefords always predominate and that is why Arizona range cattlemen always watch and take an interest in this show. l met Col A. B. Packard, our veteran Hereford breeder of Ari Zona, and he told me at the show that he was bringing back to Arizona with him some new Hereford purchases which for breeding and quality will make a great showing for the state.
 At the royal there were over 500 entries of Herefords in the Hereford class. During the week these pampered kings and queens of the breed, repre- senting the favorite families of Re- peater, Beau Donald, Fairfax, Wood ford and others, munched their well balanced meals or nodded their drowsy heads in their coZy stalls in the great Convention hall annex, as thousands of visitors looked them over. One could hardly believe that these regal bovines did not share in the anxiety of their owners and admirers as the animals were later led to the tune of martial music, into the sawdust judging arena of Convention hall.
 For Peredee Trophy
 e. W. McCampbell head of the animal husbandry department of the Kansas agricultural college at Manhat- tan, judged the Herefords except those classes where his own institu- tion had entries, which classes he turned over to committee composed of Van Natta of Indiana. Towe of Iowa, and KinZer of Kansas City

Repeater 129 and Repeater PIP won the trophy Repeater Junior was the outstandine aged bull winner of the show Mir Harris has turned down offers of $40 900 for this animal and it is thought | that nothing less than s100, 600 would buy him.
 Another much contested class was | the best 10 head of Herefords ex- | hibited by the owner, the Kansas City | Stockyards company offering a specia l trophy. This went to Col F. H.
