TE AROHA-THAMES VALLEY PROVISION FOR NEW PLANT QUALITY FACTOR STRESSED [from our own corhespoxdext] TE ARG'HA, Saturday The annual meeting of the Te ArohaThames Valley Co-operative Dairy Company, Limited, was held yesterday. The chairman, Mr. C. A. Hayward, in a review, stated that the number of suppliers had'increased to 659, while the company's output had now reached the total of 2352 tons for the year. Collection and manufacturing costs showed gratifying reductions. The scheme for the enlargement of the factory, and the provision of additional equipment, was proceeding satisfactorily. The expenditure of an additional £3OOO was recommended to provide new can washers, a new churn and new scales, and for the installation throughout the factory of special steel piping. The only way the market could be retained, said Mr. Hayward, was through quality. All other considerations must be subordinated to the maintenance and improvement of the quality of the company's product.
