Both Commercial and Composition Tests will Be Made- Prizes for First and Second Best. (Prepared by Oregon Agricultural College) Oregon butter is expected to shine in the composition and commerciti butter-scoring contest at the state y. ricultural college, which begins April 28. “This system of scoring is favorable to Oregon conditions,” says V. D Chappell, of the dairy department and in charge of the contest, “as it really gives a butter maker an opportunity to show his ability. Workmanship has a good deal to do with making good butter, especially storage butter. The system used last year gave the butter makers receiving the best cream an advantage over those who found it practically impossible to get cream in good clean flavored condi. tion.” Butter will be scored commercially • by three judges, the average of the • three making up the final score. 9 Three tests will be made for the I composition score. A 5-inch cube of I butter, inside measurement, and all ounce sample taken from the same I churning, and one 3-ounce sample I from the preceding churning must be I sent, the two samples in air tight bot- " ties to prevent loss of moisture. A 1 test of the cube will be made and I compared with the sample from the I same churning, to determine loss due I to leaky butter. | To the butter maker receiving the I highest commercial and composition 1 score, the college dairy department I will give a silver cup. Special prizes I are offered by dairy supply houses for I first, second and third in the commet- I cial tests, and for first in composition. 1 The prizes will be announced next I month. The contest will run six months and I contestants must have the three sam- I pies in each month in order to com- I pete for the prizes. Those who want I only a score occasionally to see how their product runs may enter single ! contests. A certificate of merit will be given each butter maker who gets a score of 90 or more. All butter will be sold and a refund allowed for each cube 1 when reports are sent out. All samples and cubes must be mailed on or before April 28, and the products will be judged May 1. Send I to O.
