THE DAIRY SEASON.
COWS COMING IN EARLIER. PRODUCTION MAINTAINED Judging by the number of bobby calves: available cows in the Ashburton County are coming in a little earlier than usual this year, according to a statement by the general manager of the Midland Dairy Company; (Mr L. R, Clarke). A little mild weather to encourage growth is all that is needed to make dairy production in the county reach a' higher peak than for some years. It is usually about the end of September before the weather permits enough growth to benefit dairy herds to any extent.
For the year ended June, 1941, 1074 tons of butter was manufactured by the company, while for 1942 and 1943 the tonnages were 1075 and 1074 respectively. These figures show that, the dairy farmers of Ashburton have done their part in maintaining the production of butter, which is so urgently needed both to supply our armed forces and for export to Britain.
