REDISTRIBUTION Ol INSPECTORS.

Last season the districts between Wellington and New Plymouth, and including Hawke’s Bay and the northern portion of the South Island, had the services of two butter instructors. It has been decided that for the ensuing season this district will have the services of three such officers. Mr D. Hull, manager of the Cheltenham -Company, has been appointed as butter instructor, with headquarters at New Plymouth. In order that more assistance may be given to South Island dairy companies, it has been decided to ; transfer Mr H. J. Pctch, butter instructor at Hamilton, to Christchurch.
