DAIRY PRODUCE

WINTER SHOW AND RACING CARNIVAL

JUDGING OF FACTORY CLASSES BUTTER AND CHEESE RESULTS UNIFORMITY OF QUALITY The judging of the factory butter and cheese classes at the Winter Show was completed yesterday, and the final touches were put to one of the finest displays of dairy produce to be seen in the Dominion. The judges, commenting on the exhibits, remarked on the maintenance of the usual high standard of quality. The entries of butter, they said, showed a slight decrease compared with last year’s figures. The striking feature of the exhibits was the uniformity of quality. To be critical, it was agreed that flavours would have shown to advantage with rather a fuller aroma. It was noteworthy to record that one entry evidenced the desired flavour in this respect, but did not appear on the list of prize-winners owing to defective colour. On the whole, the butters had evidenced good keeping qualities, and butter factory managers were to be congratulated on the uniformity of this exhibit. The entries of cheese showed a decided falling off compared with the previous years, and doubtless the contributing factor in this respect was the abnormal climatic conditions experienced during the greater part of the season. It was pleasing to record that the general quality of the produce has been again maintained. The prize-winners had reached a high standard, and little fault could be found with the quality of these. Openness in texture was, however, the chief fault with the remainder, but, on the whole, dairy factory managers were to be congratulated on the staging of such a pleasing exhibit. CHEESE CLASSES
