NINTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VII 273 
effort to get out a fairly good representation. I was discouraged 
with the scoring held a year ago because it ran down to 30 tubs. 
It is well nigh useless to bother with it, so we are very much grati- 
fied at this number. We are planning on conducting a scoring 
during the next year and extend it a little, so far as time is con- 
cerned. I want to urge at this time that you send butter to these 
contests. 
The 21/. per cent commission donated by the commission man 
amounted to $95, and this same man donated enough more to make 
it an even $100. I do not belicA^e I violate any propriety in say- 
ing that the man who donated this is a personal friend of every 
one of you. I refer to P. H. Kieffer.

ber, leaving out the State Fair score, gathered cream class, are:
