INCREASED OUTPUT
BIG COMPANY'S SEASON. RECORD PRODUCTION. " It is extremely gratifying to once again report a substantial increase .n our total output for the season, the final figures showing a record production of 47,473 tons, compared with 46,743 tons in the previous season" comments the general manager of the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, L.d. (Mr C. J. Parlane) in his message to shareholders of the company appearing in th.s month's issue of the Exporter. " The long spell of dry weather experienced during last summer had a marked effect on,the output in certain areas, and an analysis of the figures for individual factories is extremely interesting. It is not ceable that in those districts which were fortunate in obtaining frequent local showers through the summer months the percentage of increase is most marked, whereas in other distr cts, notwithstanding an increase in the number of suppliers, the factory output shows a lower percentage of increase, thus clearly demonstrating the effect of the prolonged dry spell on the butterfat supply from individual farms.
" When these fluctuations in factory output are taken into consideration," he continues, " it becomes clear that the increase over the who'e of our territory is due to the large increase in the number of suppliers. The number of actual suppliers last year was consklerably higher than the previous season, the total being close on the 9000 mark and promises of new supply for the coming season lead us to confidently anticipate a further pronounced increase.
"It is pleasing to record ±hat, notwithstanding the difficult times we are passing trrough purchases of fertiliser through the company are considerably higher than last year, the quantity actually delivered to suppliers last season being 40,739 tons, compared witTT 27,828 tons for the corresponding period last year," Mr, Parlane states.
Individual quantities of the various products were: Butter, 33.419 tons; cheese, 7582 tons; casein, 723 tons; milk-powders. 5402 tons; condensed milk, 347 tons.
