"DRY" BUTTER.
IF QUOTA IMPOSED. COMMENT ON SUGGESTION. i "ELIMINATE WATER CONTENT" (By Telegraph.—Fress Association.) ELTHAM, this day. | While returning from Mount Egmont yesterday the Minister of Health, the Hon. J. A. Young, was interviewed at Eltham regarding a suggestion that in the event of the application of the quota system to Dominion exports the simplest way for the Government to apply it to the butter industry would be to withI draw permission for dairy companies to add 10 per cent of water, thus automatically cutting down the bulk of the butter exported. Tlio Minister, replying, said that personally ho did not think such a course would appeal to the Government. It was not practicable, for several obvious reasons, which he briefly outj lined. New Zealand would not get any more for its butter in a dry state, but | so much of it was blended at Home that j tlio probabilities were that the blenders I and not producers would benefit.
