STANDARDISED CHEESE.

A STRONG CONDEMNATION. VIEW OF OTAGO FACTORIES. At a meeting of representatives of Otago ebeese factories, held on Thursday, the following resolution was carried: — “That this meeting of representatives from Otago cheese factories views with alarm the continued reports being received from the United Kingdom regarding the deterioration in quality of New Zealand cheese, and being firmly convinced that (1) these reports arise from the manufacture and export of standardised cheese, and (2) the export of standardised cheese has had a detrimental effect on the market for full-cream cheese, the meeting therefore demands the cancellation forthwith of the regulations permitting the manufacture of standardised cheese, and that the regulations at present in force relating to the manufacture of full-cream cheese be maintained and rigidly enforced ; further, the meeting heartily supports any action that may be taken ny the Dairy Produce Board in its endeavours to have the manufacture of standardised cheese prohibited.” Another resolution was carried urging that all cheese paade in Otago should carry a brand similar to the one used by the Stirling Company. Regret was expressed that the Southland factories did hot support the motion that was adopted at the annual conference of the South Island Dairy Association to brand all cheese “ South Island.”
