DAIRY SUPPLY

NEW ORDER MADE FACTORY RESTRICTION (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. A dairy supply order of considerable interest to farmers was brought down in last night’s Gazette. The new order • revokes the provisions made last year with regard to the supply of milk and of cream to creameries and cheese factories. Under the previous order a continuous obligation was imposed on the occupier of the dairy farm, or his .successor. to carry on Die same type of farming and supply milk or cream produced on the farm to the same dairy factory as that to whichJie delivered his produce in the 1939-40 season. It was permissible for him, however, to transfer the supply to a cheese factory, but if he wished to make a substantial reduction in the number of milking herd used on land for the purpose other than dairying, or to transfer his supply from a cheese factory or from one creamery to another, it was necessary to obtain permission from the dairy division ol the Department of Agriculture. These restrictions are now removed, but the new order provides that, so long as dairying is being carried out on any farm, the farmer must deliver all the milk or cream to a cheese factory or creamery, as the case may f t to which the supply was delivered during the 1940-41 season. The fact that the same premises are being used both as, a creamery and a cheese factory does not enable the supplier U> deliver either milk or cream from hifarm as he thinks lit. He must deliver his supply in the same form as that in which it was delivered the previous season. An occupier who during the 1940-41 season disposed of milk or cream to a creamery is at liberty, however, to divert his suppiy io a cheese factory.
