The statement contained in a cable from Sydney to-day, that buttdr factories' delegates consider butter gradi ing a failuro in Australia and Now Zealand, ,wais laid before Mr J. R. Scott,^secretary of the National Dairy Association to-day. "I am very sorry for the butter industry in New South Wales," said Mr iScott, "if they are not going to adopt a proper grading system. As a matter of fact, there has .never been a proper grading system in operation in any part of Australia, excepting pos, sibly in Queensland, and the advance in qiiality of Queensland butter is most mnrked. ft took all the prizes of, the Royal Australian Show. The quality has immensely improved under Government grading. The system such as it is may have been a failure in Australia, but it has been an unqualified success in New Zealand, as is instanced by the fact that our .butter prices are always 4s above Australian prices."
