AUSTRALIAN BUTTER IMPROVES (Received 11.30 a.m) SYDNEY, This Day. The Federal Minister of Commerce, Dr. Earle Page, in a speech, said that the result of the first four months' of the Department of Commerce campaign to improve the' quality of export butter, had been most encouraging. The percentage of choicest butter for six months ended December 31, 1935, was 60.85, compared with 48.8 per cent for the season 1934-35. The regulations were being amended to allow of the export of whey butter, but the boxes would be required to be‘ marked to avoid confusion with ordinary butter.
