From the October 1952
issue of Extension Farm-News,

A North Carolinian, Yates G. Hawkins of Route 3, Shelby,
exhibited the Grand Champion heifer in the Junior Show at the Atlantic Rural
Exposition in Richmond, Va., last month.
The heifer, Basil Sybil Marina, a registered Jersey, placed
second in the Junior Cattle Show at the North Carolina State Fair last year.
Her sire, Magnolia Basil Prince, was one of the outstanding
proven sires used in artificial breeding by the American Breeders Service at
Asheville. Hawkins procured his prize-winning Jersey heifer in 1950 through the
county-wide Cleveland FFA calf chain.
