NOVEL CONTEST ANNOUNCED
FOR TEXAS STATE FAIR

1t has been announced by F. F..
Sliney, director in charge of the
dairy division of the state fair of
Texas, that all arrangements have
been completed for one of the most
novel, and at the same time most
interesting and instructive contests
ever held at the fair.
This is to be a churning contest
open to all ladies who have faith in
their proficiency as butter makers,
and the terms of the contest are so
regulated that merit alone will decide
the issue.
Each contestant will be furnished
with a churn-all of which are to be
of identical pattern, and an equal sup
ply of cream and other necessaries.
The contest will be run off stimuli
taneously, that is, on a given day,
to be later announced, and at a
given hour, the signal will be given
to commence churning. The contest
will be won by the lady who pro-
duces the best grade of butter in the
shortest time. Both time and quality
will be scored
D. p. Lyon, of Sherman, Tex, who
is president of the Texas Jersey
Cattle club, when apprised of the
decision of the fair association to
hold this contest, expressed himself
as heartily in favor of the movement,
and stated that it would undoubtedly
interest the many women of the
state who are unusually adept in the
churning of high-grade butter.
Director Sliney states that this
