PRICE PAID FOR CHEESE.
DAIRY BOARD ADVOCATES RISE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The question of the premium for suppliers of butterfat for cheese making- was discussed at the Dairy Board Conference to-day. The Tui Company proposed that the conference make a recommendation to the Government that in future the premium should be 2d instead of lid. It was maintained that cheese costs had shown a greater increase than butter costs.
Mr. C. J. Parlane, of the New Zealand Co-operative Company, opposed the remit. First of all he said the purchase price of cheese should be increased to a point where the average factory would be able to pay lid per pound more.
Mr. H. E. Taylor, of Ngaere, said that unless a 2d margin were reached, there might be a breakaway from cheese in Taranaki.
Mr W. Marshall, of the New Zealand Co-operative Company- moved- as an amendment that the price paid be raised to enable a. premium of at least 1-ld to be paid by the average efficient factory, based on this year's returns. The amendment was carried by the conference.
