EIGHT MILLIONS
AUSTRALIA'S BUTTER CHEQUE A BIG DROP RECORDED Australia's butter cheque for 194142 season will be slightly less than £8,000,000, compared with £12,000,000 in pre-war years as the quality to be bought by Britain afor the season is limited to 57,000 tons. This drop in revenue will, it is, considered, be largely made up by a greatly increased cheque for cheese and condensed milk. This will mean that there will be little, if any, less to the dairying industry as a whole Cheese exports for 1941-42 may return about £3,000,000, compared with little more thail £1,000,000 in pre-war times. The heavy rains in Western District and Gippsland will prolong the dairying season, said a leader of the industry in Melbourne. Butter production was now about passing its peak, but because of the rains the decline in supplies would be less steep than normally. The peak this year was about three weeks later than usual because of a late season. The rains, he added, would be of great benefit to growing summer fodder crops.
