The New Zealand Farmers’ Co-opera-tive Dairy Union have paid a sum of £2807 for September supplies. In spite of the poor season, so far, supplies are very good and gradually increasing. Mr Bendall says the reduction jof freight to London from 3s 6d to 2s 6d per box, which has just come into effect-, will mean a Saving to the union of £1,200 per annum. Mr A. McLeod, an enterprising sawmiller of Opaki. has, on account of the long distance of trucking logs to the mill, arranged with a firm—Messrs Barker and Co.—to erect another mill about five miles farther on from the present mili. Thereafter only the sawn timber will have to be trucked to the present mill. As Mr McLeod has arranged with Mr H. Campbell to cut the timber off his property adjoining mill, both plants will be working, and employment will be given to about thirty hands.
