JJEW ZEALAND'S SHARE. At the annual meeting of the T. L. Joll Dairy Company at Kapuni (Taranaki), the secretary of the company presented to the shareholders a return showing the disposal of the world'? dairy produce. ' The figures indicate that New Zealand exported during' the 1924-1925 season 54,330 tons of butter and 73,300 tons of cheese, while Great Britain imported a total of 260,000 tons of butter and 144,000 tons of cheese. Of butter, Denmark supplied 86,700 tons, New Zealand 54,300 tons, Australia 31,500 tons, Argentina 26,900 tons, Ireland 23,000 tons, and other countries 37,600 tons. It would thus be seen that New Zealand" supplied 20 per cent of the butter imported into Great Britain. Of this Taranaki supplied 6500 tons, 5097 tons going through New Plymouth and 1406 tons through Patea, Taranaki's quota of the total export being a little less than one-eighth.
