"BETTER POSITION."
EQUALISING POLICY. AUSTRALIAN DAIRY FARMER. COMPARISON "WITH N.Z. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.') HAMILTON, this day. The. opinion that the Australian dairy farmer was in a far better position than the New Zealand dairy farmer was expressed by Mr. W. Dynes Fulton, chairman of directors of the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Co., Ltd., who returned to Hamilton to-day from a brief business visit to Australia. The equalisation scheme in Australia, he said, had rendered valuable assistance to the primary producer. Prices were 140/ a cwt for all butter consumed throughout the Commonwealth. The price was fixed from time to time, and was retained until there was justification for alteration. It ivae paid into a pool and equalised at the end of the season by returns received from export butter. The whole amount was pooled and the same price paid to all factories in Australia. On account of the effect of the equalisation policy, said Mr. Fulton, Australia was in a much better position to handle Eastern trade than New Zealand. She possessed direct shipping; lines and ability to undercut New Zealand prices.
