MILK FOR CHEESE
New System of Payment to be Tried TARANAKI DECISION By Telegraph—Press Association. New Plymouth, July 28. A new system of payment for milk for cheese-making is to be tried by the Rahotu Dairy Company for one year. The new system is described as not a method of payment for fat phis casein, but payment for butter-fat on its cheese-producing capacity, which will be determined by the ratio of casein to fat in the milk.
Mr. P. O. Veale, scientist of the Hawera Dairy Laboratory, in conjunction with which the payment will be arrived at, said that at present payment was made to suppliers for fat, but it was not fat that the company sold. The farmer who supplied quality milk which would make a greater quantity of cheese was entitled to a greater return.
