The Dairy Board’s Work

Sir, —The utterance of the chairman of the Dairy Control Board as reported iu your issue of Thursday, June 6, concerning the North of England market for our butter is indeed very reassuring, and I feel sure all interested in the welfare of our country will look forward to the board’s unanimous support being accorded to the chairman’s views. Iu congratulating Mr. Murdoch on the line of action he advocates on this vexed question, 1 am sure he will not object to me reminding him that Australia is on our heels in an endeavour to capture this trade, and that the old cry that the North of England is the stronghold ot Denmark should be killed forever.

Yes, Mr. Murdoch, you are on the right track iu your method of tackling this, neglected portion of the Old Couutry trade. I hope you and your board will not fall by the wayside and let another season go by without anything being done to capture some of it. You have no time to lose, Australia will assuredly also be making a bold bid for it, so take time by the forelock, get your butter samples into the hands of these millions in the north, those representatives into the field, and your suppliers established, so that this question may no longer emulate “Tennyson’s Brook” as it has in the past.—l am, etc., W. RATCLIFFE, Palmerston North, June 7.
