AN ENCOURAGING STATEMENT POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 12. (Received November 13, at noon.) Sir Join) Russell, tlio well-known agricultural export, Rave a luncheon at liio Savoy Motel. The guests included Sir James Parr. Sir John Russell, in describing his recent tour, declared that New Zealand’s natural conditions wero unexcelled for dairying. Two matters to which attention should be directed were, first, a reduction in tiro pi ice of land, and secondly, an improvement in the productivity of individual cows. New Zealand butter, he said, because the standard was very strictly jnaiatained, was most popular in Britain. A recent conference of British milk suppliers called to consider over-pro-duction, rejected the proposal to establish a butter factory because *■ everybody prefers New Zealand ■mttor.” The selling organisation returned to the New Zealand laimer from 75 to 80 per cent, of the price paid in England. The English dairy farmer received 50 per cent, of the price of his milk ten miles from his farm. Now Zealand’s experimental farms were doing valuable work, and should receive every assistance from the Government. —Australian Press Associa-tion-United Service
