It is expected that these cups will
arouse the greatest, Of interest among
makers from all sections Of the
state Similar trophies were offered
a year ago, and they brought forth
the largest number of dairy exhibits
ever before entered In competition.
1t is expected that this years dis
plays will be still more numerous.
There will also be great number
of creamery exhibits, although they
will not be so numerous as the dairy
entries. owing to the fact that there
are a number of creameries which do
not operate in the winter months.
However, comparatively speaking,
the creameries will be better repre-
scented this year than at any previous
competition.
