SUPPLY TIED
FARM AND FACTORY PROHIBITION OF TRANSFER U EXEMPTION PROCEDURE (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Thursday As a step toward securing an additional quantity of cheese this season, In accordance with the undertaking given by the New Zealand Government to the United Kingdom Government to produce and supply at least 15,000 tons more cheese than the quantity supplied last season, the Dairy Supply Control Order, 1940, has been made by the Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. W. Lee Martin, under powers conferred on the Minister by the Primary Industries Emergency Regulations, 1939. The effect of the order, which came into force on Monday and appears in tonight’s Gazette, is first to tie the milk supply from farm dairies to those cheese factories to which the milk supply was delivered during the 1939-40 season; secondly, to prohibit the transfer of supplies from cheese factories, and thirdly, to tie the milk or cream supply from farm dairies to those creamery butter factories to which the milk or cream supply was delivered during the 1939-40 season, and which have lost by transfer to cheese factories more than 2£ per cent of the supply, computed on a butter-fat basis, that was delivered to such creamery butter factories during the 1939-40 season. Same Form of Production Fourthly, the order prohibits the transfer of supplies from such creamery butter factories, except transfers of supply to cream factories. In other words, occupiers of farm dairies affected by the order and their successors in occupation are required to carry on the same form of production as that produced on the farm dairy and supplied for the manufacture of cheese or creamery butter during the 1939-40 season. Provision is made for exemptions from the operation of the order in proper cases by the director of the dairy division of the Department of Agriculture, or by the assist-ant-director of that division in respect of suppliers to cheese factories, and by Sir Francis Frazer, deputychairman of the Executive Commission of Agriculture, in respect of suppliers to creamery butter factories tq which the order applies.
