SOURING MILK.
[Per Press Association.] HAMILTON, December 22. For some time past Air J. A. Young, member for Waikato, has been in correspondence with the Primo Minister respecting the powers of the New Zealand Casein Board to control tho process of souring milk for purposes other than the manufacture of casein, which might be ust-d by. butter and cheese manufacturers within the Dominion. Mr Massey has now replied as follows; “ As regards the patent taken out by the New Zealand Casein Board for the process of souring in connection with the manufacture of casein, the Department went into the matter at tho time the patent was applied for. It recognised that the process had been employed for a considerable time in connection with butter and cheese, making, and I am informed that the legal position is that the patentee’s rights cannot bo enforced if it can be proved that the patented process was known and used either in New Zealand or elsewhere before the grant of the patent.” .
