The re- ! cent Budget announcement of an inj crease of three cents in the dutv c | New Zealand butter coming int< I Canada lias caused considerable satis- ■; faction, although it is only in effect at i present on reshipments from England It is sincerely hoped that by Octobei • J-’, when the present treaty with Aus- ! tralia and X. w Zi : 1 nd is gated ! a new agreement will have been drawr : up which will be equitable to the dairy, i men of both New Zealand and Canada : In the meantime the market for Cana- ■ dian cheese seems to offer the most de- ! pendable outlet for our surplus milk ! Canadian Cheddar cheese still commands a considerable premium ovei j the New Zealand product on the Britisl: j market, and what is more, quotations I by the Empire Marketing Board indij cate that prices are holding firmer this I year than they were about this tlna , last year. Other outlets for our mill j should not be lost sight of. The condenseries and powder plants are yenrp. playing a very important part in tin consumption of milk. Powdered skim milk is being used more and more ir b read making and in ice-cream mixes and sweetened, condensed milk is noe widely used as the base for much o< our candies and milk chocolate.

E. Tattersall at Pakowhai, Hawke’s Bay. From a little over 10 acres lie took this season 500 tons of mangels and 400 tons of pumpkins. It is questioned whether such an amount of crop lias ever been taken off a similar area in the North Island.
