NEW ZEALAND'S PROGRESS.
. AN ASTONISHED VISITOR. BUTTER TRADE TRICKS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Sir H. Matthews, secretary of the Central Chamber of Commerce in Eng- ' land, expresses his astonishment at the j progress made in New Zealand, contrastj ing the conditions here with those at J Home. He reckons we have ten grow- : ing months, and no expense in housing j or feeding of stock in winter, while the I soil is prolific. In England they had j made the mistake of divorcing the coun- : try from the city, and he hoped these ' countries would not do the same. i Industrial interests at Home predom--1 mated to such an extent, he said, that l poor farmers were swamped. He was I favourably impressed with the assistance given by the Government to farmers. He considered New butter to be the best in the world, but it was used by dealers for blending with inferior brands, compressed, and then sold as New Zealand. The visitor was also much impressed by the State Forests, which he j praised highly.
