SEASON’S PRODUCTION

CLANDEBOYE DAIRY COMPANY A high standard of production is revealed in the annual report of the directors of the Clandeboye Dairy Company, which is to be presented at the annual meeting this week. The estimated average payout last season for all grades of butterfat was 15d per lb, and the actual payout for the season 15.873 d. In respect of the current year, the valuation basis adopted for cheese on hand at balance date was 7.75 d per lb for export and 7.5 d for local; and the estimated average payout for all grades of butterfat which should result from the disposal of the unsold cheese at the values adopted should be 16ld. The board of directors recommends that the appropriation account, after payment of the final payment and dividend at the rate of 5 per cent be carried forward.

Symes retire from the directorate by rotation, but with the exception of Mr Adair offer themselves accordingly. Mr C. J. Neville, who was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr W. H. Staniland, also retires and offers himself for re-election. Tire only nomination received being that of Mr G. H. Mulligan, an election is unnecessary. "It is desired to place on record appreciation of the valuable services rendered to the company by Mr Staniland during the many years he controlled its policy as chairman of the board of directors,’’ the report states. "Regret is also recorded that Mr Adair finds it necessary to relinquish his position on the board and thanks are offered to him for his work and assistance.” The directors express their appreciation of the work of the factory manager, the secretary and staff.
