MINNESOTA IN THE LEAD
Captures Prizes in Butter Makers
Convention

st. Paul, March l. Minnesota now
holds an unassailable position as the
greatest butter producing state in the
Union, and among the cities of Min
leSOta, st. Paul stands first. Such was
the result Of the competitions at the
national buttermakers' convention in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, three of the four
prizes offered having been brought
back to Minnesota. Thomas Milton
Of this city took first prize for the best
tub Of separator butter made in the
United States, and the Belle PIafne
creamery, also operated by the Milton
company, secured hOnOrS in the same
competition. The Mabel creamery OF
Mabel, Fillmore county, received SEES
ond premium on gathered cream. In
the past butter produced at Elgin, Ill,
has been considered the standard Of
excellence and has been taken ,as the
basis for market quotations. Wiscon-
sin has also made determined claims
for first place, but this victory for Min
nesota is so complete as to leave no
ground for further rivalry. This is
the first time in the history of these
exhibitions that one state has can
tured SO many hOnOrs, and Assistant
Dairy Commissioner Graham saws the
success is strongly significant.
