Milk and Cream Contest.
 Although considerable correspond
 ence and work had been done to- wards having a milk and cream con
 test held under the auspices of the Arizona State Laboratory, in connec- ton with the Northern Arizona Fair, it was not until yesterday that this department was finally launched. Dr. Harry T. Southworth assumes the SUI perintendency The contest will be divided into two classes: for the pur- est milk and the purest cream. Through the efforts of Dr. C. E. Yount, the Yavapai County Medical Society, at meeting held September g, voted a silver cup as first prize in the pure milk contest and snni- lar one will be given for the purest cream. First and second ribbons will also be awarded. The Yavapai Coun- ty Medical Society cup is to be the property of the winner, and in offer ing this prize the society hopes to stimulate the production of pure milk by the dairymen of Northern Arizona This is the first contest of its kind ever held in the State of Arizona, and it should be supported by the dairymen. The winners in this con test will have splendid chance to capture the State prize, which is of fcred by the State fair at Phoenix.
 The judging and scoring will be done by Dr. Meserve, or his assistant, Miss Rider, and will be carried on according to the latest bureau of ami nal industry score cards for milk and cream and will be thoroughly scientific. The apparatus for testing the milk is now on hand, being left here by the State chemist when his headquarters were in the high school building. Following are the instruc- tons for those desiring to compete:
 Milk entered to compete for the prizes must be sent by express or otherwise from the station nearest the producer direct to Dr. Harry T. Southworth, superintendent North ern Arizona Fair milk and cream con test, Prescott, Arizona. Express charges on exhibits must be prepaid tt' destination. Bottles must be care fully packed, caps should be sealed, making bottles air tight, and both top and cap should be protected with paper, metal or other material, and al! covered with crushed ice suffi- cient to maintain low temperature during transportation.
 The package should be plainly ad- dressed on the outside. A card should also be tackled on the box, on the in side, giving plainly sender's name and address, so as to avoid mistakes in identifying packages.
 In order that all milk entered by competitors may be of the same age when scored, it is specified that it shall be produced on Wednesday, Oc tober 20, 1915, in the morning, and shipped and delivered to express com pany at once. This is absolutely necessary for perfectly fair competi- ton. Dr. Southworth will take charge of the milk on its arrival and see that t is properly cared for.
