A 6 the result of a suggestion thrown out by the Mayor at a function held in Eketahuna, the first Scandinavian emigrants who settled in the Forty Mile Bush, which includes the district from Kopuaranga to Woodville, have decided to hold an annual reunion to celebrate their landing in New Zealand, which occurred on April 11, 1870. Figures that have been compiled from official sources show that since 1888, less than a quarter of a century ago, there has been actually paid to the dairy farmers of New Zealand for milk for the manufacture of butter and cheese over £28,000,000. Whore would New Zealand have been during the last quarter of a century, and the last half of that period in particular, if it had not been for the dairy industry?
