BUTTER EXHIBITS

PALMERSTON AWARDS. ,-'* A MAURICEVILLE SUCCESS. PALMERSTON NORTH, This Day. It is considered that the quality . of creamery butter exhibits shows an improvement. There is also a commendable uniformity in manufacture. Worthy of special mention were the exhibits taken at random from the export quantity held in the grading stores from February. Practically all were classified as finest grade. Owing to the very small margin of merit separating the exhibits in the finals of various classes, difficulty was experienced in selecting the winners and .runners-up, and all deserve congratulations.
