TURNBOVV H. S. GIDDINGS L. R. JOHNSON The Dairy Products Judging Team The Dairy Products Judging Contest held on November 3, 1924, at the Portland Pacific International Livestock Exposition was one of keen competition and sweeping success for the Aggies. For four years California has been sending judging teams to Portland and each trip our men have come home with a big share of the honors. They were three times high team and once second high team. This year, true to the tradition, they came home as high team again, bringing most of the prizes with them. On the California team were R. W. Garrett, J. J. McNamara, L. R. J ohnson, and H. S. Giddings. Coach Professor G. D. Turnbow was unable to accompany the men to Portland, Assistant Coach Professor L. A. Raffetto taking his place. The Aggies won high team at the contest being high in butter and Cheese and third high team in milk. Individuals winning honors were J. J. McNamara, being high man of the contest, and high in butter and cheese; L. R. Johnson was third in milk being fifth high man. R. W. Garrett placed well up in all products thus enabling the team to win as a whole. This is the third year our team has won the silver cheese cup, donated by the Marshall Dairy Laboratories, to be given to the high team in cheese first winning it three times, so it will now be ours to keep. The other teams placed as follows: University of Idaho, second; University of XVashington, third; Oregon Aggies, fourth, and University of Utah, last. The trip was one of great value to the members of the team, and after the contest several excursions were taken around Portland and over the Columbia River Highway, including a trip through Swift th Companyis stock yards and packing house and several milk plants. t47l

The idea originated with Dr. W. L. Howard, Division of Pomology, whose belief it was that a knowledge of what constitutes a good orchard, is of utmost importance to Horticulture students. With this object in view, a score card was adopted. Numerous visits H: were made to nearby fruit districts and so intense was the interest that a committee was appointed to arrange for competition with other . L institutions. i Finally, after a great deal of correspondence a contest was arranged with Chaffey Junior College, at Ontario. The team, consisting of J. M. Glick, E. R. Tingley, S. W. Winter, B. H. Denbigh and Coach W. P. Duruz, '13 made the trip by automobile. What is considered to be the first Orchard i Wm Judging contest ever held was won by the ttCalifornia Aggiesf, A silver t wt'd cup, presented by the Southern California Canners Bureau became our ugh; temporary possession. The trophy must be won twice in succession for fur permanent ownership. On April 17th Chaffey Junior College is sending its team to Davis for the return contest. .wwi This activity has many promising possibilities. The committee has , i, :H'. been working unceasingly to interest high schools in similar competition. Mb Already high schools in several counties are taking up Orchard Judging. The prospects for increased interest in the schools are bright indeed. wk The committee has also spent considerable effort trying to interest other state agricultural colleges. Numerous letters have been sent and replies show that we are stimulating thought in a new enterprise, which looks like a most valuable thing in Horticulture. E491
