ticed that there Is a great Improvement
In the appearance OF the packages OF
dairy butter. Exhibitors have benefit-
cd by criticism and competition. The
exhibits used to be sent in an irreg-
ular manner, in many instances with
out any concern as to the appearance
OF the packages. improvements along
this line have mainly been brought
about by the plan adopted by Mr.. Flint
Of the state department and the dairy
mems association of sending to ex-
hibitors a copy of the score card with
the notations of the judges, in every
butter scoring contest in the state, at
fairs or otherwise.
The judges at the Fargo fair this
year were o. A. Storvick, federal but
ter expert, and G. l. Martin of the
North Dakota Agricultural college.
Commissioner Flint says that another
thing to be noticed is that the high
scoring exhibitors in past contests are
continuing as exhibitors and annually
endeavor to overcome the criticisms
Of the previous year. There is a very
interesting contest in progress in the
communities about Argusville, in this
county.

was greatly admired and very favor
ably commented upon.
One of the exhibits from Morton
county was hauled to the railroad over
