DAIRY PRODUCE LEVY

DUNEDIN, June 6. The annual meeting of the South Island Dairy Association carried a resolution to levy on factories one shilling per ton on cheese and two shillings on butter, based on the export output for the year 1922-23, for the purpose of advertising dairy produce at the British Exhibition of 1924. The levy is expected to realise £10,000. The association also carried a resolution urging the Government to the necessity of coining to the assistance of the settlers on the Taieri Plain, and thus alleviate a national calamity.
