D. A. Stoner Great Poultry Judge

D. A. Stoner, formerly of Rensselaer, and a poultry raiser of large proportions, having owned the farm now owned by J. H. Holden, arrived here Sunday for a short visit with his wife’s mother, Mrs. J. T. Randle. He will also visit his mother in Morocco. He is now engaged in the real estate business at Wichita, Kans., having given up the poultry business. He is still one of the best poultry judges in the country, however, and has been devoting considerable time this fall and early winter to this work. This week he is one of the judges at the great exhibit at the colliseum in Chicago, which is held under the auspices of the American Fanciers Association. He has already been the judge th's year at Pratt, Wichita and St. John, Kans.; Rocky Ford, Colb.; Chandler, Okla., and Trenton, Mo., and he is yet to officiate at Plainvll’e, Kans, and then at the Kansas state fair at Newton, an event he has been the judge at for the past three years. Later he will serve as judge at Holton and Logan, Kans. He is quite prosperous and although he lives in Wichita he has a quarter section of fine land in Oklahoma
