INCREASE IN CHEESE COSTS
QUESTION OF PREMIUM DISCUSSED (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, March 18. The question of a premium for suppliers of butterfat for cheese making was discussed by the Dairy Board conference today. The Tui Company proposed that the conference recommend to the Government that in future the premium should be 2d instead of ljd. It maintained that cheese costs had shown a greater increase than butter costs. Mr C. J. Parlane, (New Zealand Cooperative Company), opposed the remit First of all he said the 'purchase price of cheese should be increased to a point where the average factory would be able to pay l|d a lb more. Mr H. E. Taylor (Ngaire) said that unless a 2d margin was reached there might be a breakaway from cheese in Taranaki.
Mr W. Marshall (New Zealand Cooperative Company) moved as an amendment that the price paid be raised to enable a premium of at least IJd to be paid by the average efficient factory, based on this year’s returns. The amendment was carried.
