DAIRYING METHODS

GERMANY'S INTEREST PROFESSOR'S TOUR Germany's effort to increase the efficiency of her dairying industry is indicated by the presence in YVeitington ot I'rofessor W. Moln\ of the Dairy Hesearch Institute of Kiel University, who lias been sent by the Herman Government to investigate dairy methods in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. The professor has completed a visit to Alassey College and .Hairy farms near I'ainierston North, and he'will leave for Australia early next month, on his way home, via England. He left Germany m Uuly. Dairying conditions in Germany, he said in* an interview, were different from those in New Zealand. For one thing the farms were smaller and more intensively cultivated in 'Germany. Part of his work at present was to observe the methods of the countries he visited and impart his knowledge to Germany so that a greater volume of production might be reached.

Professor Mohr was enthusiastic over the methods in use in New Zealand, which he considered excellent for the particular conditions met with here. Dairying, though not a large industry in Germany, was a very important part of the country's economic, life. Economically, Germany was. like most other nations,'on the up-grade, continued Professor Mohr. and workers both in the cities and in the towns were now talcing a far greater interest in their various occupations. This was due in some measure to the greater certainty of employment now.
