This trophy is regarded as a district prize, to be associated each year with the district in which the dairy factory producing the winning exhibit is situated. “Thus, while the factory will have full credit for having made the best exhibit, the honour will be shared by the district,” the letter adds. At the National Dairy Show held in London last month the cup was won by the Thornbury Co-operative Dairy Factory Co., and I shall be glad to learn whether your association is willing to act as custodian of the cup for the next twelve months and exhibit it at your next Winter Show. The cup, which is a beautiful and valuable trophy, will be suitably engraved with the name of the district, the winning factory, and the Arrangements are being made to comply with the suggestion.
