II. r. Wright, state food and dairy
commissioner, has sent letters to all the
dairymen of the state notifying them
of the prizes for dairy butter that will
be given at the state fair this year
and Furthermore notifying them of the
change in the policy as to scoring.
Heretofore the butter has been sent to
the state fair grounds, where 1t was
placed in big refrigerator, in which
the judges scored it and awarded the
prizes. Then it was hauled thru the
streets of Des Moines to a refrigerator
car and shipped TO New York and sold
and the owners of the butter given the
receipts But because of hauling It
thru the streets and allowing it to get
melted, the butter deprecated in value.
This year ii will be unloaded into re
frigerator cars down town and scored
and then shipped at once to New York
in refrigerator cars.
BY thus relieving the refrigerator a
the state fair grounds the department
is given room for a proper exhibit
there and among the attractions of the
week will be bust in butter of Sec
rotary James Wilson, of the depart
ment of agriculture. An expert at
statuary carving has been employed
by the Beatrice Creamery Company to
do the work and he will consume a good
many pounds of the best Iowa butter
in making the bust. At other places
this feat has a ttracted wide attention.
