CONTINUOUS GROWTH

Dairying in Australia ALL-YEAR-ROUND EXPORTS Sydney, July 28. A farmers’ conference at Hawkesbury College discussed the development of dairying. It was stated that the fall of 30 per cent, in prices was balanced in New South Wale§ by increased production. The indications were that the expansion of jthe industry would be great and continuous. Inland production could cover the winter and early spring months so that large quantities of butter could be exported all the year round, thus bridging the difference between summer and winter prices. New South Wales production should reach 100,000 tons and Australian 300,000 tons before long. Mr. . Mclnnes, Director of Dairying, sounded a warning against unregulated storage of butter, as when the present restrictions were removed Ireland would dump a large tonnage of butter rendered Inferior by storage into England, smashing the market, probably at a time when Australian exports were again appreciating. A reorganisation of the methods of marketing meat was urged, with an improved grading system and killing in country centres'so as to avoid centralisation in metropolitan works.
