QUALITY GRADING.
The National Dairy Association in review on compulsory grading, states that it has resulted in <i marked improvement ia tUe quality of the cream received by the factories. "As a result of this there has been a distinct advance in the grading points allotted. The adoption .by the Dairy Produce Board of a system whereby a premium is paid for butter grading 03 points or over has probably also heen a contributing factor in the higher grading points scored. The principle of a compulsory grading has bo far been applied to cream only, and seeing that the result has been uniformly successful, consideration ought now to be given to the question o£ whether it should not be also applied in the case of milk. Although there arc admitted to be difficulties in the way, of this being done, the quality of our produce is of such great importance, more particularly in view of the ever-increasing competition in our markets, as to .suggest that some attempt should be mnde to ensure that only bcs£ quality of milk is delivered to the factories, and this would b« better ensured under a grading system.
