CHEESE PRODUCTION.

EXPORT TO INCREASE. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. WELLINGTON, thk day. J As a step toward securing an additional e quantity of cheese this season, in accord--0 ance with the undertaking given by the c New Zealand Government to the United Kingdom Government to produce and i- supply at least 15,000 tons more cheese t than the quantity supplied last season, the 1 Dairy Supply Control Order, 1940, has been i .made by the Minister of Agriculture, the 0 Hon. W. Lee Martin, under powers con- ■• ferred on the Minister by the Primary - Industries Emergency Regulations, 1939. J The effect of the order, which came 1 into force on Monday and appears in last night's Gazette, is to firstly tie the milk supply from farm dairies to those cheese factories to which the milk supply was . delivered during the 1939-40 season; , secondly, to prohibit the transfer of sup- | plies from cheese factories, and, thirdly, , to tie the milk or cream supply from ) farm dairies to those creamery butter " factories to which the milk or cream supply was delivered during the 1939-40 season and which have lost or may have lost by transfer to cheese factories more than 2% per cent of the supply, computed on a butterfat basis, that was delivered to such creamery butter factories during the 1939-40 season. Fourthly, the order prohibits the transfer of supplies from such creamery butter ( factories, except transfers of supply to cream factories. In other words, occupiers of farm dairies affected by the order and their successors in occupation are required to carry on the same form of production as that produced on the farm dairy and supplied for the manufacture of cheese or creamery butter during the 1939-40 season. Certain provisions for exemption are included.—(Press Assn.)
