QUALITY OF BUTTER
Sir, —Mr. Johnstone apparently still persists in deluding himself that our butter is all that can be desired. May I suggest that instead of "taking a few figures at random" lie visits a few dairy sheds at random during milking time. If he comes away with the impression that it is impossible to improve the conditions under which cream is obtained, then it is useless to carry this controversy further, for unless both sides understand the meaning and influence of hygiene we reach a deadlock. It is admitted that many factors besides quality create certain fluctuations in the price, and the instance Mr. Johnstone quotes in 1927, when Danish and New Zealand prices were equal, is a case in point—not due to a sudden improvement in our quality, but a drought which hit almost the whole of the Northern Hemisphere severely. P.D.S.
