The erection of a factory at Kapuni for the production of sugar of milk from whey supplies drawn over a radius of nine miles is likely to be proceeded with, following a meeting of suppliers of the Joll Dairy Com- \ pany. By a vote of IO to one in favour, the meeting recommended the directors of the company to pomplete their arrangements with Dairy Products Ltd., Edendale, for the establishment of the industry.
