SOUTHLAND SUCCESS

MANUFACTURE OF CHEESE. FIRST PRIZE AT LONDON SHOW. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Invercargill, Oct. 24. Mr. J. S. Morrison, manager of theOrepuki factory, whose entry of cheese gained first prize at the London dairy show, has set a fine standard for his district. His is a small factory, its output being about 225 tons, and this was only the second time it had entered. Previously it was a proprietary concern and it was not eligible until it became a co-operative factory over two years ago. Mr. Morrison is a young manager, this being his third year in that capacity. Previously he was first assistant at Orepuki. The factory was not placed last year and since the district is not considered one of the province’s best its performance is full of merit. Orepuki’s success brings the province’s total of first placings up to seven of the nine championships awarded to date. The cheese championship carries with it a silver challenge cup given by Lord Bledisloe for the factory with the highest points from any part of the Empire, and a challenge cup for New Zealand factories which was also given by Lord Bledisloe. Southland has now won both for three years during which they have been competed for.
