Comment upon the remarkable development of the dairying industry in New Zealand is obtained in the March issue of The Dairy, "a London publication. It remarks that in forty years the annual export of butter from the Dominion has increased' from 1500 tons to 78,900 tons, while cheese exports have grown from 1894 tons to 78,222 tons. "But it is not merely because of.the growth of the country that dairying has improved so much,” states the journal. “Greater scientific knowledge and skill are continually being brought to bear on farming operations in New Zealand. Some years ago the average production of butter-fat per cow there was 1701 b, and this is now increased to over 1901 b. When will British farmers take to heart the lesson which such figdres as these put before them'! 1 It is true that they have much more to contend with than the New Zealand farmer, but they also have the market at their doors, and yet it is open to farmers in every part of the world to send their products into this country, and get a better price than the home products.”

The recent visit of the contingent of Taranaki farmers to Southland has had many beneficial results not the least important of which is the fact that many of the visitors now acknowledge they were entirely ignorant of the fine lands, stock, and general conditions existing here for successful farming.

Many folk have openly stated to friends and acquaintances that their- season’s catches have resulted in more money being made simply because they have selected Andrew Wilson, Ltd., as the firm where top values are certain to be obtained.—Advt.
