EXPORT CHEESE.
HARBOUR BOARD'S CUP. HIGHEST AVERAGE GRADE, The decision of the Lyttelton Harbour Board to give a cup valued at £25 for the highest average grade of export cheese passing through its cool stores during the season is prompted by the Board's wish to help to improve the quality of New Zealand cheese and particularly that from Canterbury. Criticism has been levelled against the product in England. Nearly all the cheese made in Canterbury and Westland passes through the Board's cool stores in Lyttelton. In 1926-27, 19,671 crates were exported, in 1927-28, 18,527 crates, and last year 20,805. The amount varies with the season and the figures are not a reliable index of whether cheese-making in Canterbury and Westland is on the increase or decrease as an industry. The cup, which will be known as the "Lyttelton Harbour Board Cup for Export Cheese," will be awarded on the marks of the Government cheese graders in Lyttelton. The factories are to bo advised of the specific conditions.
More butter than cheese comes out of Canterbury and the Board would have liked to have given a cup for export butter, but all the butter exported doeS not pass through its stores.
