Manitoba butter won the Championship and Reserve Championship for top

quality at the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto; a Manitoba creamery was awarded

highest aggregate score for creamery butter exhibited at the fair; and eight

of the 13 exhibits which placed in first prize groups can from Manitoba

creameries.

These results were announced by C.H.P. Killick, Dairy Commissioner

for the province. The other two provinces in the prize winning classes were

Alberta and Ontario.

"Mote than thirty of our exhibitors were in the prize money,"

Mr. Killick states, "which inditates the uniformity of the product throu out

the province."

"Another significant point," he added, "is that the majority of our

butter was tade in June - and its keeping ouality is a credit to the fine grade

of cream that went into its production."

The Rapid City Creamery, owned by Packers Limited, is the

creamery which won the Championship Ribbon, the Reserve Championship and the

highest aggregate stores in all sections. Jointly responsible for its

achievement is buttermaker J. Flanigan and manager John G. Shand.
