EXPORT OF BUTTER
SHIPMENT IN DRY STATE PROPOSED SUGGESTION NOT FAVOURED. (Per United Press Association.) ELTHAM, July 31. The Minister of Health (Mr J. A. Young) was interviewed at Eltham regarding the suggestion that, in the event of the application of the quota, the simplest way for the Government to ! apply it to the butter industry would bo to withdraw permission for the dairy companies to add 16 per cent, of water, thus automatically cutting down the bulk of the butter exported. • The Minister, replying, said that personally he did not think such a course would appeal to the Government. It was not practicable for several obvious reasons, which he briefly outlined. New Zealand would not get any more for its butter in the dry state, but so much of it was blended at Home that the probabilities were that the blenders, and not the producers, would benefit.
