RANGITIKEI DAIRY COMPANY CHAIRMAN’S SATISFACTION I The results of the year's operations, particularly the pay-out, were very satisfactory to suppliers, said the , . chairman, Mr. K. W.

(all gradesl for the season was Is . 4.05 d. The further payment of 2 1-Sd i a lb. of butterfat had already been j distributed. Mr. K. W. Dalrymple, in moving I 1 the adoption of the report and bal-ance-sheet. said the new factory had [ not been working for the whole of •the season, but it. was apparent that the directors had been successful in planning a dairy factory and machinery that, would reduce costs to a minimum. He felt sure that suppliers would reduce costs to a minimum. He felt sure that suppliers would be ' quite pleased with the results of the | ’ next season’s operations so far as fac- i tory costs were concerned. ’ Weather conditions generally had been favourable for the dairy industry and the output of the factory had ' been increased by 46 tons to 927 tons ' for the season. Mr. Dalrymple em- ! phasised the need for more thorough ‘ cultivation of the land, as a means if ‘ overcoming, to some extent, the shortage of fertiliser. The meeting authorised a donation ' being made to the fund sponsored by | the Natonal Dairy Association for j gifts of butter to men of the Mcrcan- | tile Marino, members considering tins j a very worthy object. The donation would be made, based on the output | of the factory. J’he Rangitikei factory headed the , list of factories whose butter was > graded at the Port of Wanganui, the , average grade for the season being ; 94.438?
