WINTER PRODUCTION
DAIRYMEN REJECT REMIT By Telegraph—Press Association HAMILTON, June 24. The encouragement of the winter production of butterfat was not favoured by the national dairy conference this morning, when a remit from the Heretaunga Co-operative Dairy Company, urging the payment of a premium for winter butter was lost by a substantial majority. In order that the winter production of cream might be encouraged so as to maintain the winter supply for both the local and export trade, the Heretaunga Company urged the federation to approach the Government requesting that a premium be paid for butter manufactured in the winter months. “We want a little recreation and the only time we can get it is during the winter,” said a delegate, who added that winter production would mean increased overhead.
Other speakers w’ho expressed opposition to the remit contended that it was necessary to spell the fields during the winter period in order that they might be able to carry the maximum pasture during the spring months.
