Abstract
From the subject that has been assigned to me the inference is plain that I am expected to speak of the beneficial results accruing to the live stock industry by reason of the professional accomplishments of the man you honor tonight.
I am not unfamiliar with those accomplishments or with the effects which they have produced on the progress of our industry. The orbit of his life intersected mine nearly a quarter of a century ago, when Wilber Cochel came to Kansas to head the Animal Husbandry Department of the State College in the town where I live.
You are all familiar with his notable achievements in the field of his chosen science both before and since that time. I will not attempt to review them now. But I think there could be no more fitting time or place than this occasion affords for me to make frank acknowledgment of the benefits I have personally derived from his sound professional counsel.
