Butter Contests.
Dairy Commissioners r. F. Flint has
completed the arrangements for a six
months creamery butter educational
contest which will be held in Bismarck
this summer. The first scoring will be
done May 20. And it is anticipated
that a large per cent Of the operating
creameries will be represented at the
first scoring. Following are the rules
governing the contest:
Each buttermaker actually employed
In a North Dakota creamery may en-
ter one tub each month.
Butter from creameries operating
power separators will be handicapped
two points per entry in figuring aver
ages for prize.
Butter must be entered each of the
six scorings to entitle contestant to a
prize.
A twenty pound tub is the regula-
| finn FranEoe NO 49, So 49, -
place of holding the scoring not later
than the day designated in the call.
Prof. G. L. Martin OF the agricuI-
tural college, win be the Official Judge,
but we will have a check Judge at as
many of the scorings as possible, es-
pectally at the fairs.
Scorings will be held at Bismarck in
May, June, August and October, thu
latter in connection with the Industrial
exposition. The July scoring will be
held in Fargo in connection with the
state fair. September scoring at Man
dan in connection with the slope fair.
At the close of the contests, butter
will be sold to the best possible advan-
tage, and the proceeds, less express
charges, IT there be such, will be re-
mitted to the contestant.
In view of the difficulty of tracing
the origin of shipment and that the
fair association rules demand that ex-
press charges be prepaid, we prefer
that xpress charges all be prepaid.
Prizes Of $25, SIS and So will be
! given by the state from the dairy ap-
preparation to the winners of the three
respective highest average scores after
handicap points are deducted.
Diplomas will be given to all con-
testants entering Ave or more scorings.
Scores of 80 or above will be pub
lished each month.
Buttermakers and creamery officials
are invited to attend the scorings.
Tack personal card Oh the bottom Of
your tub.
IL Protect butter from the heat by
wrapping the package well, or enclose
in a larger tub. OF. both. Mark and
bill to the writer.
