COMMISSIONER PLEASED.

BUTTER AND CHEESE AT DUNEDIN. The quality of both butter and cheese exhibits, at the Dunedin winter show, according to Mr. D.Cuddie, Dairy Commissioner, was • exceedingly high. Speaking at the Otago A. and P. Society's' annual reunion, Jlr. Cuddio said they were becoming' so accustomed to meeting with 'a high standard of quality at tho various winter shows in New Zealand, more especially in the South Island, that they perhaps-hardly, realised the high standard of excellence attained. There was no doubt: that the butter and cheese exhibited at this year's Dunedin show reflected the very greatest credit- on the farmers who'suppleid'the milk and on the makers., They need havo no fear for their industry so long as they turned out produce of this description. During the last few years, there, been a great improvement in the butter and cheese forwarded for export, and 'no had no doubt that this' was a,great determining factor in the high prices they'received for their produce on the Home market. In his travels in other dairving countries in the world Ke "coulit not*tail' to notice how far behind New.Zealand those countries-were in the more advanced sides of the industry. In the ' matter of' up-to-date and scientific plant New Zealand practically led the.'world, and. if he were to tell dairy manufacturers in other countries to what expense they were prepared to go in NewZealand in orde. - to obi-jin the highest standard of quality and the best possible results, they would net believe him.
