Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 January 1907 — A Good Butter Exhibit. [ARTICLE]

A Good Butter Exhibit.

One of the most interesting features pf the Farmers’ Institute here this week was the butter show organized by BD. Comer. There were nine competitors for three prizes offered by Mr. Comer for first, second and third best pounds of butter made on a DeLeval separator. Of these nine competitors, Mrs. James Shepherd, Mrs. Henry Wil son, Mrs. Belle Garriot, Mrs. Ollie Garriott, and Mrs. Harvey Davisson were from Union township. Mrs. Eli Arnold and Mrs. Eib were from Barkley and Mrs. Inez Nichols and Mrs. Emory Garriott from Marion. ' Mr. Fidler, of Purdue University was the scorer. Mrs. Kli Arnold won first premium, $1.50, on a score of 95. Mrs. Belle Garriot and Mrs. Eib each scored 94 and divided the sec nd prize of 11.00. Mrs. Emory Garriot won third prize 50 cents, with a score of 93. All these scores were very high, as may be supposed from the fact that the best score made by any butter at the St. Louis fair was only 97.
