AUSTRALIAN DAIRYING

FALL IN PRICES BALANCED INCREASE IN PRODUCTION DANGER FROM IRELAND. [By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrightl SYDNEY, July 28. The Farmers’ Conference at Hawkes bury College discussed the develop ment of dairying. It was stated that the 30 per cent, fall in prices was talanced in New South Wales by increased production. Tho indications were that the expansion of industry would be great and continuous. Inland production cculd cover the wintei and early spring months, so that large quantities of butter could be exported all the year round, thus bridging the difference between the summer and winter prices.

Nev South Wales production should reach 100,000 tons and Australian 300,000 tons before long. Mr. Mclnnes, Director of Dairying sounded a warning against the unregu lated storage of butter, as when the present restrictions were removed, Ire land would dump a large tonnage of butter, rendered inferior by storage, into England, smashing the market probably at a time when the Australian exports weie again appreciating. A reorganisation of the methods of marketing meat was urged with an im proved grading system and killing in country centres, which would thus avoid centralisation in the metropolitan works.
