DAIRY PRODUCE

Australia’s Good Season “From a dairying point of view,-Aus-tralia is having a wonderfully productive season, particularly in the. northern part of New South Wales,” said Mr. A. J. Hcighway, editor of the “New Zealand Dairy Exporter” and the “New Zealand Radio Record,” ou his return by the Maunganui yesterday from a six weeks’ business visit to the Commonwealth. “Exports to England,” Mr. Heighway added, “are showing this year a big percentage increase over last year’s figures.” He had, of course, been considerably interested in Australian dairying, and had studied it while in Victoria aud New South Wales. The growth of broadcasting had impressed him too, and he said that the system of broadcasting ball by ball the Test matches played in England had resulted in many thousands of sets being bought and a fair proportion of the population keeping very late hours while the broadcasts were on. “There is no doubt,” he said, “that radio was given a great fillip at that time.” Mr. Heighway had been favoured with an invitation from Amalgamated Wireless, Ltd., to take part in the opening ceremony of the trans-Tasman telephone service. Voices from New Zealand, he said, came in with wonderful clarity, and the expectation was that the service would promote commercial and personal friendships between the two countries. Use of the Australia to England radiotelephone, which had been operating since April last, was now quite commonplace. When the Malolo was in Sydney last week two of the tourists on board had conversed with members of their families at home in Atlanta, United States of America.
