DRY BUTTERFAT
MORE ECONOMIC SHIPPING
(0.C.) : PALMERSTON N., This Day,
The -dairy, farmers of New Zealand have to. thank the Dairy^ Research Institute for saving; them some hundreds of thousands of pounds as the result of successful research work now operating on a commercial basis. The institute early visualised that shipping space would be at a premium as a result of the war, so started to experiment with the production of what is known as dry butterfat, which can be exported in , non-refrigerated space. These experiments met with success and, now all the second-grade and whey butter at Massey College is being converted into the new product, the factory working 16 hours a day.
Early in July a second and bigger plant will be operating at Auckland, and the trained staff will be transferred there. The new product will go overseas in tins packed in pinus insignis cases, thus helping to conserve the Dominion's supply of white pine timber.
