CHEESE QUALITY
MINISTER’S STATEMENT
DECISION OF COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATIONS MADE
(Per United Press Association.)
Wellington, April 20. The Minister of Agriculture (the Hon. C. E. Macmillan), in a statement issued to-night, outlined the steps being taken to bring about an improvement in the quality of cheese. He explained what had been decided upon by' a committee representative of the dairying interests.
It was realized, the Minister said, that much had to be done to bring Dominion made cheese up to the proper standard of quality. The committee’s decisions really represented the adoption of the recommendations made in the first place by the Dairy Board, and were as follows:
(1) That regulations be gazetted to prevent a supplier from leaving one factory for another. (2) The definite establishment of milk grading with differential payment. (3) The licensing of factory managers.
(4) The dairy division to take over a cheese factory as requested by the board.
At a meeting of the committee a cable from the High Commissioner was read stating that this season’s cheese showed an improvement. The Minister added that the departmental staff was now pushing matters forward with a view to having everything in order for the commencing of the new season under the improved conditions which had been agreed upon.
