N.Z. BUTTER

PREJUDICE IN ENGLAND.

IMPRESSIONS OF A VISITOR

WELLINGTON, March 7

“Tile first tiling I will do when I re-

urn to England will be tp.'try . and persuade people to buy more New Zealand butter,” said Viscounthss Hill, a visitor from England. ‘While I was in Hamilton I was conducted through a New • Zealand butter factory, where I saw the complete process of butter-making. • I was exceedingly impressed by the 'richness of the cream and other ingredients used and by the absolute cleanliness which prevailed throughout the whole factory.

“Seme of the poorer people in England,” continued Lady Hill," “have an unfortunate prejudice against imported butter. They do not trust it, and if they cannot get English they would sooner do without any.' I shall endeavour to combat this ..prejudice when I return to England by describing my tour through the butter factory I have seen.”

Lady Hill was also very impressed with the healthy-looking dairy cattle she has seen in the North Island, and particularly at the Government farm in Hamilton over which she was conducted. The Women s Institute movement in England ig O no in which Lady . Hill is deeply interested, and she is president of the institute at her home' in Presteign, Radnor.

“The movement in New "Zealand seems to follow closely on the'lines of the. English institutes,” she said. Over 400 garments had been'made and sent by Lady Hill’s institute jto the distressed ureas in South Wales this year, while all the institutes in England worked for other people-as well as themselves.

Lady Hill has spent an enjoyable holiday in New Zealand, whidji, inchided a successful trout-fishing trip to Taupe. A visit, was also paicl-fto Waitorno. She described the caVesas the most • wonderful, things she vtia’cl ever seen,in' all' her travels! Lady,’Hill will leave to-morrow for' Fiji, wh'&rfe, she will be.-a guest at Government"'. House and from there she will return* fo. England via Australia.' - Tfvl,'
