The next annual meeting of the Ma
ticnal Buttermakers' association will
not be held in Minnesota, and as
matter of course Minnesota dairymen
are somewhat disappointed, for it was
confidently expected that the delega-
ton from this state would bring back
that prize. But a half a loaf is better
than no bread at all. Minnesota went
to the Sioux Falls convention with
two fold purpose, the first, to convince
the world that this state can make the
best butter in the world, and the sec
ond, to get the next annual convention.
In the latter case the state was de-
feated and Lincoln, Neb., will have the
honor of entertaining the dalrymen
next year. But as far as the first OBJ
ject is concerned Minnesota Won
glorious victory and was awarded the
banner for the best average grade of
all butter entered. The victory is one of
which the dairymen may we'll feel
proud for they had twenty more
enries than their. nearest competitor,
Iowa, and these had to be averaged
The best that Iowa could do was 81 $40
or $40 under Minnesota. Illinois, with
a small number of entries, carried off
the second prize.
An extended account of the conven-
ton in these columns would be an i'm
possibility as more than fifteen ses-
sions were held, and the programme at
each was lengthy. 1t was, however,
one of the most successful meetings in
the history of the organization and
closed Friday night with brilliant
banquet rendered the visitors by the
people of Sioux Falls.
