DAIRY INDUSTRY
SEASON REVIEWED. (pp.r United Press Association.) t Wellington, June 24. A review of the dairying industry and season was given by Mr W. Perry in his presidential address at the Royal Agricultural Society annual conference which opened this afternoon.

But. for the increase in value, the prices ruling would be disastrous. With regard to the cheese industry he said it was probable that next season producers would revert to full cream only. The low prices and consequent necessity for increasing production should give an impetus to herd testing.
