It gave him pleasure to hand over the cup to the Cloverlea Co. and a. miniature cup to the manager. Mr Cairns thanked the Board for the great Interest it had taken in the grade of cheese. The company was pleased to have placed a new concern on the map. All factories In the competition graded very high and the district was fortunate in having such a high standard. “As far as quality Is concerned South Canterbury has nothing to fear,” said Mr Cairns, who paid tribute to the splendid work of the managers and also the good work of the Milford factory which had not been eligible for the competition. He congratulated the Board on its foresight and the part played by Mr A. R. Guild, a member of the Board.
