Rapidly Increasing
Easier Finance Required During the 1927-5-8 season, some 550 natives supplied nearly 750,000 lbs of butter-fat, to the value of £53,000, to the chief cooperative factories in North Auckland. The Northern Wairew factories had 43 native suppliers, with a total of 60,000 lbs of fat; at Hikurangi 156 natives, 250,000 lbs ot fat; at Bay of Islands, 51 supplied 90,000 lbs; at Kaitaia 120 supplied 200,000 lbs • at Hokianga 100 supplied 120,000 lbs; at Whangarei 53 supplied 60,000 lbs of fat.
These figures will be eclipsed during the dairying season just ended through the financial assistance given enabling better methods, topdressing and better stock.
