Marshall, who is retuniing to Xew Zealand shortly, will report the resull oi' his inquiries to the direelors and indn.-t ry generall y. " At the^uioinent , ' ' lie said, " my thought is that there should be soine evperiinentation along siinilar lines with fterompanyiii" research in Xew Zealaud, to see the extent to which we t liiight beneJit." I11 Switzerland Mr. Marsliall saw Ihe Denn Co. 2 botteniiakiiig nnudiine. "It is, '' he said, "a reinarkable pieee of marhinerv whii-li is liiamifactunng cointiiercial butter bv a process entirelv dili'erent froin that in Xew Zealand. It is virtnally a contimions processing atid ]>aeking plant." In Germaiiy he saw anotlier continuous proeessing nmchim; known as the Eritz, wliiidi is in eommereial operat ion, tuni oue of wiiich was taken to t'anada.
