fat TELEGRAPH.— CO]

Dakgavilli:, Tuesday.' The 20 butter factories operating in North Auckland, work under the , home separator system, and under conditions which, in many respects, are quite different from those obtaining south of ; Auckland. ", So far only three of t|e factories—those at Whakapirau, Maungats pare, . and, Orurii— are paying for cream supplies on.a purity grade, and in order that a common system may be adopted a. conference of;dairy factory managers and delegates will be held in Auckland on June 1. This conference > will have no connection with the one to be held a few days later in connection with tho Waikato Winter Show, and which will also be attended by North Auckland factory representatives,^ Tho main business of the North Auckland conference is to discuss the advisability of adopting a system of cream grading, and the payment for same according to standard of purity, and also for butterfat contents, throughout the North Auckland district; to consider the question of factories entering into an . agreement hot to receive cream or milk that. has been rejected by another factory owing to its condition not being satisfactory.;. to discuss (with a view of approaching tho freezing works) the extra charge of ljd per box after the first fortnight during the export season, and to endeavour to get the time extended; and to consider the question of better advertising of New Zealand butter and cheese on the Home markets. .-.

AU resolutions carried will be referred to the _ directors of the various butter associations, and will bo further considered at the annual meetings of suppliers.
