NEW ZEALAND
UNEXCELLED FOR DAIRYING
TOUR DESCRIBED BY SIR JOHN RUSSELL United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Australian Press Association. —United Service. (Received 13th November, 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, 12tli November. Sir John Russell, agricultural expert, gave a luncheon at the Savoy Hotel. The guests included Sir James Pan 1 . Sir John Russell, describing iiis recent tour, declared that New Zealand's natural conditions were unexcelled for dairying. Two matters to which attention' should be directed are firstly, reduction in the price ua land, and secondly, an improvement in the productivity of individual cows. New Zealand butter, because the standard was very strictly maintained, was most popular in Britain. The recent conference of British milk suppliers, called to consider overproduction, rejected a proposal to establish a butter factory because "everybody prefers New Zealand butter." Selling organisations returned to the New Zealand fanner 75 to 80 per cent, of the price paid in England. The Englisii dairy farmer received 50 per cent, of the price for his milk ten miles from the farm. New Zealand's experimental farms vvere doing valuable work and should receive every assistance from the Government.
