SECOND SECTION LUBBOCK AVALANCHE VOLUME XXn No. 26 LUBBOCK, LUBBOCK COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1921 PUBLISHED TWICE A WEEK El South Plains Club Boy Writes Of His Trip to England With The Winning Team in Judging By Alva Debnam, Lamesa, Tex... While engaged in club work I wat fortunate enough to win a free trip to England to the Royal Agricultural Show and also a visit to om of the famous livestock section cf England and Scotland. We loft the United States .Tune 15th, and after a pleasant eight days' journey we landt-d at Liverpool vagvr for a chance to see some English live stock of which we had heard so much. We first visited the estate of the Duke of Westminster which is locat ed near Chester. As no expense had been spared in the erection of the buildings and the maintenance of the estate, it was very beautiful. All thoughts of the beauty of the inani mate stone structures about us were forgotten, however, as we were taken to the livestock barns. One of the thing that impressed n while on this fnrm, as well as on all o'-hers 'bat I later visited, was the permanent character of the build ings anil conserjuently the low cost of upkeep. Tha pastures appeared very gTeen to us. but we were told that the country was suffering from a drouth jthp at th time. We were shown some Shorthorns of the dairy type which was the only type kept on this farm. We found that the breeding animals were very closely attended to while the show animals were not fitted for so long a time before the show as they are in the United States. After leaving the Eton herd, our next stop was at the Royal Agricul tural Show, where we spent several days. It is decidedly the largest show I had visited from the stand point of the number of breeds of livestock exhibited. The show is moved every year, which doubtless detracts some front the extent and convenience of the exhibition barns. At the Royal Show we found the exhibit of the Shorthorn cattle in both the dairy type and the beef type to be very strong in numbers. The older classes showed up remarkably well in the beef type, the Grand Champion cow ami bull both coming from the aped t-lassea. The cow whs, I believe, the best Shorthorn female I had ever seen, while the Grand Champion bull would have rarVed well with any we have in the United States. I attended the Shorthorn Sale while i at the Royal Show. It was put on by ders ART GOODS tSMsss SPECIAL for ONE WEEK! To help you solve the problem for presents for Christmas we have bought an extra good assortment of Art Goods. How often have we heard: "Mother or Sister made that for me years ago."

The Shorthorns were very typy and nearly all be longed to a few well known blood lines.

The former was bought for 116,000 and the latter for fl'.ooO. One pe ' culiarity of Balcairn White Eagle is that although he is white his, "pet" are almost invariably red. We next vinifed the farms of Mr. James Durno of Upper-mil and Mr. Jumps Durcn of RothiebrUhnne. The former is well known as a judge of Shorthorn rattle at South American fairs while the latter often judges in tha United States. The cattle were exceedingly good and at every place we visited they seemed to excel. They were prnctirally all of the same several families, and many of the bulls we saw were Puffy bred. We found the most popular blood lines to be Notiapariels, Violets, laven ders, Buttercups, Broadhooks, Fs tells. Missies, Tiaras, Besies, Mari golds, and Goldies. We also saw the herd of Mr. Webster at whose home we were served with a very fine luncheon. Because of the lack of time, however, we did not get to visit two other places where we were cx iected. We returned to Aberdeen sincerely sorry to leave the people who had received us so kindly and regretting that we had nft allowed ourselves more time to be spent around Aberdeen. I returned to the United States feeling that with close attention to pasture corps and careful attention to breeding stock we could breed and raise Shorthorn rattle that would equal or excel those of any country, With the more ideal climate and with more attention to animals used for foundation stock we would soon find it unnecessary to leave the United States for blood from which to breed our champions. now employed Shop, played glf on the Club links- while visiting a si'ter here, and made an average nf fifty-one in seven evenings on the links.
