WANGANUI DAIRYING A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE [by TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] "V7ANGANUI, Tuesday There has been a substantial increase in dairying in the Wanganui district during recent years, and the development is continuing this season. During the winter two factories found it necessary to instal new- machinery to cope with the increase in supplies, the capacity last season being taxed to the utmost. Tho increase is due largely to former sheepfarmers turning their attention to dairying, and to tho use of manures. A few years ago two local companies had combined output of 500 tons, but last season .the output was 1665 toias.
