DAIRY PRODUCE
RETENTION OF PORTION OF OUTPUT. _ . cMegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, December 13. The Australian cable suggesting that the Australian Dairy Board was willing to restrict butter shipments to the extent of 20 per cent, provided that the New Zealand Dairy Board was prepared to do likewise, has caused misapprehension in some districts, where it is felt that the quota principle of restriction of shipments has been adopted. This is not the case. It has been made clear at a recent meeting addressed by Mr W. A. lorns. chairman of the Dairy Control Board, that all the Australian Board asked for was that 20 per cent of this season’s manufacture of butter should be withheld from shipment for a few months, so that arrivals in England will be spread more evenly over the 12 months. The reason for the suggested regulations is that the bulk of the manufacture of butter in both Australia and New Zealand Is during a relatively few months of the year and that the immediate shipment of butter, as it is manufactured, causes a glut on the English market. By spreading the arrivals as evenly as possible over the 12 months, improved prices should result.
