DAIRY PRODUCE.
PROSPECTS FOR COMING SEASON. “NOT AT ALL REASSURING.” In the course of his! address at the annual meeting of the N.Z. Farmers’ Co-op. Distributing Co., held at Feilding, the chairman of directors (Mr J. J. Bryce) made reference to the dairying industry. “In my review last year, I ventured the opinion that our dairy produce exports for the coming season would be adversely affected by the unfavourable climatic conditions, and the final figures for 1925-26 have justified my prediction,” Said Mr Bryce. “The following are the comparative totals for the past two seasons: —
“Butter: 1924-25, 71,063 tons; 1925 26. 61,195 tons.
“Cheese: 1924-25, 72,016 tons; 192526, 71,682 tons. “Whilst the decline in cheese is only 334 tons', the export butter is less by nearly 10,000 tous, a-serious matter for our dairy farmers and for the country generally. “The prospects for the coming season are not at all reassuring, but it is hoped that with the termination of the coal strike in the Homeland, the accumulated stocks! there will now be- absorbed more rapidly. Undoubtedly at the present time those engaged in dairy farming are facing conditions which call for the exercise, of extreme care and economv in every direction.”
