story announcing that Walter
Schriver, of the Sank Lake Coop
erative Creamery, of this city, and
champion buttermaker of Mime
sofa had won additional honors at
the National Creamery Butter
makers Association annual meet
ing at Mason City, Iowa.
Mr.. Schriver, accompanied by
Ernest Olson, buttermaker at
Westport, left early Thursday
morning to attend the banquet to
be held at Mason City in the eve
ing, and receive his award.
Upon arriving at Mason City Mr..
Schriver was informed that he had
won the sweepstakes prize in the
Senior class against competition of
327 2O-lb tubs entered by the butter
makers of nine state, but principal
ly from Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
consin.
This prize was won by three scor-
ings this year. In June his entry
was scored at 94k,. and placed in
cold storage. This butter was talk
en- out of storage again in October
and scored 93b. At the Mason
City convention the Sank Centre
man entered a tub of fresh butter
which scored OATS. His average
for the three scorings was 94.25.
The scoring was made by three
butter experts. When a tub is en-
tered the name of the entry is fl
ed by the superintendent of the
show and given a number. The but
ter is brought out in lots of 10
tubs. Each of the three judges,
working singly, score each tub. Or
dinarily they do not vary more than
one-fourth of a point. If there is
great difference all three of the
judges carefully score the tub or
tubs on which there is a difference.
The judges haven't any way of
knowing the name of the entrant
whose butter they are scoring, or
the creamery from which it comes.
Mr.. Schriver won the state cham
pionship in 1881 and again this
year at the Minnesota Creamery
operators gathering held at st.
Paul, Oct. IL, IL and 10.
For winning the sweepstakes at
the international show last week
he was awarded a handsome gold
wrist watch. Six years ago, Gus
Ludwig, a we'll known Eastern but
ter expert hung up a beautiful sill
yer cup to be awarded to the Ma
tional champion. In the period
Minnesota has won the cup three
times. Iowa twice and Wisconsin
once. Mr.. Schriver will retain the
cup in his possession this year but
to retain it permanently it must be
won three times by any individual
buttermaker. No buttermaker has
won it more than once to date.
Chris Otto, Of Sank Rapids, was the
international champion in 1929.
: The entry Of Buttermaker Ernest
Olson, of Westport, became mixed
with the Junior class. He was
awarded first place with score of
95. and received a gold medal.
Burton Olson, Paynesville, High
School lad had high average on
score three entries of 1896 in the
Junior class and was awarded
gold wrist watch
Minnesota won first place in state
averages, scoring 94.488. Wiscon-
sin was second with 94.129; Iowa
scored third with 94.07 The ten
best tubs from each state are
scored collectively in this contest.
Minnesota has pretty generally won
first honors in this contest. The
award for the state team exhibit is
a beautiful banner.
Mr.. Schriver carries his honors
modestly. In an interview with the
Herald editor Monday he said the
patrons of Sank Lake creamery
were entitled to much of the credit
Of his victory because of the high
type sweet cream delivered for him
10 work with. His assistants were
also paid a fine compliment for
their enthusiastic cooperation.
The Sank Lake Creamery is one
Of the member creameries Of the
Land o. Lakes group in Central
Minnesota.
The Herald congratulates Mr..
Schriver and the Sank Lake Cream
cry upon the National recognition
they have received.

scores in the Senior and Junior
