BUTTER MARKETING

Criticism of System By Telegraph-—Press Association. Hamilton, August 22. “We are not obtaining anything like the returns we would get if w r e adopted practically the same system as the Danes,” declared Mr. Dynes Fulton when dealing with marketing problems in an address at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Co-opei-ative Dairy Company to-day. Mr. Fulton said the competitive methods of getting out quickly and. dropping the market had cost New Zealand a great deal of money over a long period of years, as well as retarded concentration by factory managers to manufacture the same uniform grade buttey right throughout. I "I do not mean to imply that our butter is not of good quality, because I found that generally speaking the best New Zealand butter is equal to the best butter being sold in Great Britain,” said Mr. Fulton, "but I do say our butter is not of uniform quality throughout because of the chopping and changing of agents from year to year. The clientele that lias been built up by any particular factory’s good butter can easily be lost the next year for the reason that the agent of the merchant has not been able to get a price equal to some other who had possibly received u better price for a certain shipment.”
