HAMILTON, This Day.
A- wonderful feature of the current dairying season is shown by the fact that the production of v butter-fat for December throughout the territory operated in by the New Zealand Co-opera-tive Dairy Company exceeded that for November by over 200,0001b, the actual figures being 6,566,6121b of butter-' fat, in advance payment for which £393,174 was distributed to the company's suppliers on 20th January. The company's total production of butter *to the end of December was 12,454 tons, and it is expected that the production for January will be nearly 3000 tons, or approximately 100 tons per day. If the season continues on as favourable a' basis as indications suggest, it is confidently expected that the production for 'the, : , season will reach between 21,000 and~ 22,000 tons. In addition to_the increased quantity, there has been a remarkable improvement in the quality, all but a very small percentage being graded superfine.
The production of cheese also is above | the standard established last year, and the grading figures are good. . Only five/ factories for December made any secy ond-grade cheese at all, the total number of second-grade crates being only 35 out of a production of nearly 9000.
