FARMING NEWS,

RURAL RAKINGS

A Wanganui farmer, when referring to the cold weather of late, remarked that tlie winds in the exposed areas had a withering effect upon the grass, and so far the milk production Mas below wlial it Mas last season.

In the opinion of Mr J. W. Simpson, an original settler of Matamata, the pastures from Matamata to Cambridge havo never been so bare as they are this season. Since the Matamata estate was cut up lie cannot recollect a winter that has been harder on stock than the present one. Owing to the cold winds experienced, he said that there would be no great growth of grass in the district until rain fell. There has been a substantial decline recently in killings of cattle in the United States, especially in comparison with the heavy slaughter owing to the drought last summer. This fact teems bound to in* fliicnco future leather prices, according to an American trade journal. The journal states that the slaughter of cattle from 12 principal points for the week ended June 22 was only 83,000, compared with 104,000 for the previous week and 148,000 in the corresponding week last year. ’1 he calf kill hud fallen even more precipitately, being 20,000 for the week ended June 22, against 67,000 for the corresponding .period last year. Two cows in the Morrinsville herd-test-ing group which were credited with over 5001 b of Lmttcrfat last season were “mother and daughter.” They were the top cows of Mr J. A. Sanders’s “Kingsinere” herd of pedigree Jerseys. The motliei was Locligarra Sylvia, an eight-year-old cow, which gave 5271 b of Lmttcrfat in 323 days last, season, although only a “three-quarter cow.” This was excellent production considering the remarkably dry summer,. which curtailed the production of herds in tJip Morrinsville district. In the previous season this cow was credited with 6971 b of butterfat in 314 days, being the second highest producer of all cows under group test in Now Zealand. A daughter of this mature cow, Kingsmcre .Empress, as a four-ycar-old last season, gave 51311 > of butterfat in 313 days, and in the previous season gave 5261 b of butterful in 324 days.

BUTTER AND CHEESE. MARKETS FIRM. SHORTAGE OF SUPPLIES. W. Weddcl and Co., Ltd., report dated London, September 10: —Butter: Market quiet. Danish, 1265; N.Z. finest, 112 s; Kangaroo finest, Ills. Cheese: Market firm. N.Z. white, 545; N.Z. coloured, 545. The New Zealand Producers’ Co-opera-tive Marketing Association’s weekly cabled market report from London, dated September 10 is as follows :—Butter: Market firm. New Zealand, 112 s; Danish, 1255. Cheese ; Market firm. New Zealand white and coloured, 545.

MAY REACH 120 s. In a review of tho butter market, Joseph Nathan and Co., Ltd., point out that the vise in prices started at. the beginning of April, M’licn the market M’as 77s per cwt. From then onward each M’Cck has shown a small but perceptible increase until the first week in July, when 90s per owt, was recorded. From that date tho market gathered increasing momentum, and at tlio beginning of September the 100 s mark M - as reached. At this point the market jumped tip daily, and M'horeas on Friday last it closed at 107 s, it opened on Monday at 112 s per cu’t. Trengrouso and Nathan, Ltd., cabled from London on Monday that butter stood at 112 s and cheese at 54s a cwt, duo to a genuine shortage. “Butter may reacli 120 s und cheese advances equal in sympathy. Expect high prices but will affect consumption, but not for a few weeks, during which time expect maintenance present high prices, say until middle of October, alter which gradual fall. There is every indication better average blitter and cheese prices this season than last.”

“BEST SEASON FOR YEARS.’ ’ From tho above cable it would appear -that tho primary producers can look forward to the besl season for many years. Consumption, of courso, will be checked a little at ’the increased prices, but at the present time the retail price of New Zealand butter in London is still Is per lb. Stocks of New Zealand butter in London on September 6 were 4368 tons, compared with 11,148 tons a year ago. September arrivals in the United Kingdom will bo about 11.267 tons, which is about 5000 tons more than the total New Zealand butter imported into England during September, 1934, which was 6083 tons. Hie October arrivals are estimated to be about 8845 tons, against 10,463 tons last year. Production of blitter during August showed an increase over the corresponding period last year, although factories in the north appear to he behind last year’s figure. Cheese production is considerably lower. Butter buyers are extremely active for early_ shipments, ancl anything that will arrive in London during October is being eagerly sought after. Puichases have been made up to 11 3-4 d per lb, a day or so ago, but it is believed tins price has iiom’ been exceeded. After being practically stationary tor many months the cheese market is showing signs of sharing in the genera, rise. Ibis must be very gratifying to cheese producers who have been experiencing very lean times indeed, and many factories through loss of suppliers changing over to butter arc having a hard time to keep "ping. The market is now 54s pci cwt:, with a firm tone, and in view of the sound stock position further advances can bo anticipated. Stocks of cheese m Lee don on September 6 were approximately 7100 tons, against 10,COO tons a year ago, and are the lowest since January, 1905 Arrivals during September will be about 5400 tons. This is about 600 tons less than September last year. October arma.s aie estimated to be about 4700 tons, as agams 5077 tons last year.
