BUTTER AND MEAT
Increased Production (N.Z.P.A.) DUNEDIN, July 19. “It is regrettable that there should be just now so much foolish talk about primary production having gone i into a serious decline,” said the Prime I Minister ( the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser) today. "Here are some facts that should put an end to pessimism. The average production of butterfat in five seasons during the war is 191,500 tons' compared with 189,000 tons for the five prewar seasons. This season’s estimate is 193,000 tons. The average of meat production for the last five seasons is 526.000 tons, against 470.000 tons in the three pre-war seasons. The estimate for the current year is 520,000 tons."
