Farmers and Dairymen
Begginning May 1st the Col
lege of Agriculture, University
of Arkansas, Fayetteville, in co
operation with the Dairy Divi
sion of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, will hold a twelve
months Farm Butter Making
contest in which all people, who
are making butter at home, are
invited to take an active part.
The general plan will be as fol
lows:
All contestants will send one
pound of butter to the college
each month for twelve months,
where it will be scored by compe
tent judges. While this is in
tended to be an educational con
test we have secured the dona
tion of some prizes well worth
working for.
First prize will be a Register
ed Jersey Bull Calf, given by the
Diary Department of the Agricul
tural College.
Second prize, a DeLaval Cream
Separator, given by the De Laval
Separator Company of Chicago.
Third prize, a Babcock Tester
and Milk scales, given by B.
Riley, Hauk Supply Company,
St. Louis.
Hoard’s Dairyman of Ft. Atkin
son, Wis., will send free, its
weekly dairy paper for a term
of six months to all parties tak
ing part in the contest.
Contestants whose average
score for the twelve months is
ninety or above, will receive Di
plomas of Merit.
Each month the contestants
will receive a card giving the
date on which the butter will be
scored so that they may send it
to reach the college before that
date.
After the butter is scored, each
contestant will receive a letter
giving his score and any criti
cisms we may have to offer, as
well as suggestions that might
aid in the improvement of the
butter for the following month.
The charges for transporting
this butter to the college are to
be paid by the person sending it
in, and after the samples have
been judged the college will sell
them to the very best advantage
and will return full amount re
ceived for them.
Since butter may be sent by
parcel post, the cost of sending
it will be very small. All part
ies wishing to enter this contest
may send their names to Prof.
H. E. Ivorachek, Fayetteville,
Ark., or R. H. Mason, Little
Rock, Ark. We will be glad to
furnish you further information
regarding this contest which will
start the first part of May.
Yours Very Truly,
R. H. Abbey,
County Agent, McCrory, Ark.
