TESTING OF PUREBRED DAIRY COWS.

FEBRUARY CERTIFICATE -OF - RECORD LIST. Dairy Division.

Advice has been received through the High Commissioner, London, that .the English hop crop of 1922 was 320,000 cwt., as against 246,000 cwt. in 1921, and that, in addition, 6,000 pockets of the 1921 season’s crop remained unsold in December last. Owing to this position and the doubt existing as to whether the brewing trade could absorb the stocks in question, no import permits were to be issued for the present. The Hop Controller had fixed the average price of the 1922 English crop at /io 10s. per hundredweight, as compared with £lB in the previous year..
