At the Crystal Tonight THE M’CRAY SALE U ill Schrock of Fonner Farm Attended Greatest Auction Ever Held. — AT ORCHARD LAKE Fifty-five Head Averages Over 55.000 — Fairfax in Great Demand. Will P. Schrock, of the Fonner stock farm, attended the annual Hereford sale of Colonel Warren T. McCray at his famous farm. Orchard Lake, Wednesday and Thursday ami it was without doubt the greatest cattle sale ever held in the world. Colonel Fred Reppert of Decatur was the ' auctioneer and established a record

that is likely to stand the acid test of ■ ages. He was assisted by a dozen of i the greatest auctioneers and boosters in the country who worked in the ring , Fifty head were sold Wednesday and sixty head Thursday and the bidding was in SI,OOO offers on many of the : extra bulls and cows. Twenty bulls brought an average , of $7,000 and thirty-five cows and heifers averaged $3,461, while the average for the fifty-five head was ; $5,097. The average beet the world's record a thousand dollars. Baron Fairfax, considered the star bull of the Hereford world sold for $24,000; I Hugo Fairfax for $23,000, Admiral Fairfax for $20,500. Miss Dale Farm-' er. prize female brought $10,500. j' Breeders from every cattle state in ' the union, from Canada and other places were present and the crowd was immense. All the bulls sold were sons of the celebrated Perfection Fairfax, known as the "King of the Harford sires,” and from this strain 1 comes the Herford herd owned by the Fonuer Stock farm. The event attracted so much attention that the Chicago Daily Drovers Journal gave it the prominence of a head across the i page The two sales total a half mil- i lion dollars for 115 head of Hereford?. 1 t Can you imagine It?
