PRICE OF BUTTER
TO TIIE EDITOB OF THE PRESS. Sir,—Mr Hansen states that butter has gone up 3£d per lb last month, but still the producer receives only Id rise. He further states that butter stored this month would cost 2d per lb for storage and insurance. Why? In any case, the butter manufactured since the beginning of the year in Canterbury goes on the local market straight away, on account of the small amount produced with the shortage of feed. I have been reading figures for the last two or three years about the enormous amount of monev that is spent here, and abroad, for the marketing of butter. I do not think that the industry can ever pay the producer for there seem to be too many "dead heads" getting a living out of the industry. Goodness knows there is no product that takes less brains to make and less room to store than a pound of butter.—Yours, etc., GO BACK TO SHEEP. February 14, 1935. FMr Hansen had no comment to make when shown this letter.]
