DAIRYING DISTRICTS

"INTERNAL JEALOUSY "

■Statements that ' different farming districts'in Now Zealand were Suspecting one another of being tho cause? of a portion-of the dairy produce being of poor quality ,wore made- by Mr. P. 11. Anderson, chairman. of directors of the Cambridge Dairy Company, at a meeting of ■ tlio Taranald Federation of Dairy Companies at Stratford on Monday evening, when advocating the introduction o£- farm dairy instruction, states 'a New Plymouth correspondent.

"The position is that the Waikato says that Taranaki is making all the bad cheese, and Taranaki says that the Waikato is," said Mr. Anderson. "I will admit that the Waikato has been making bad cheese, but there is cheese being made much worse:" Mr. J. if. Corrigau interjected that New Zealand cheese was the best in the world, and lie could prove it. Mr. Anderson said the north was being set against tho south. Both Taranaki and Waikato were suspecting each other and ho knew that some people had positively rejoiced when tho Southland grade went down. Such internal jealousy was not good for the industry. ■ . ■ . Condemnation of its own produce by New Zealand was strongly deprecated by Mr. Corrigan. "Even before the milk comes, from the cow you hear .farmers decrying their produce," lie said. Jlc had had concrete informathat that agents in England selling New Zealand produce were being shown clippings from New Zealand newspapers and told that the produce must be- bad if tho producers were say-! ing so. ~'- '
