BUTTER BOX SUPPLY
SURPLUS FOR SEASON STATE FOREST REPORT During last year the export butter box pool scheme entered upon its second season, and marked progress was achieved in ridding the dairy industry of the bogey of short supply of butter boxes which was such a feature of the previous season, states the annual report of the State Forest Service. Although at the commencement of the 1937-38 season a shortage of seasoned timber was anticipated during the (lush dairying months and it was deemed expedient to import 500,000 spruce 'boxes in shook as an insurance against fire and other risks incidental to box manufacture, no actual shortage developed at any period. Due to the abnormally dry season which occurred, the number of boxes actually used during the first ten months was 750,000 below estimate and only 250,000 of the 'imported boxes were used, leaving the other 250,000, together with a like quantity of white pine boxes, in store for next season's pool.
