The Maryland Hereford Association made an extensive tour of the state to visit pure bred Hereford cattle farms August 9th. A two-day affair, the tour gave cattle breeders an opportunity of visiting farms on the Eastern and Western shores of the state.

After visiting the Eastern shore, they returned to Annapolis where they spent the night. On Sat. they proceeded to the Richard C. Riggs Foxhall Farm at Catonsville.

On Saturday afternoon the caravan consisting of 27 cars and a bus arrived at 2 o'clock at the Highland View farms owned by Arthur B. Shipley.

There were a number of Western as well as Eastern states represented in the group. Mr. Richard C. Riggs, chairman of the committee, introduced Mr. Shipley who took them for a straw ride to view the fine purebred herd and pastures. Mr. Shipley has over 100 pure-breds on his farms.
