LONDON DAIRY SHOW.

NEW ZEALAND CHEESE EXHIBITS.

Some little time ago, Mr. A\. Wright, Inspector of New Zealand Dairy Prnduco in London, notified tho Dairy Produce Division i! tho Department that tho British Dairy Farmers' Association was willing to include in the scheilulo of its dairy "show for 1913 a special class for colonial cheese, provided not less than twelve entries would be forthcoming in such a class. Tho conditions governing tho competition were to lie as iollow: — Class for colonial cheddar cheese.—Open to makers only. Entrance fee, 10s. Total entries must not be less than twelve, each entry to compriso six cheeses of at least COlb, each, i'irst prize, silver medal and .t's; seeoud prize, brouxo medal and .£3; third prize, .£2. On receipt of this advice a circular embodying tho proposal was issued by tho Director of tho Dairy Prodnco Division to a number of the dairy companies manufacturing cheese throughout the Dominion, with tho result (says the Agricultural Department Journal) that no fewer than eighteen of them indicated that they would be pleased to' lnnko an entry. Factories in both tho North aiul South Islands promised representation. Word to this effect was immediately dispatched, through Mr. Wright,"to the British Dairy Farmers' Association, which has replied stating definitely that the class has been included in this "year's scheilulo. It'has been arranged with the exhibiting companies that the cheese will be collected in Wellington during the month of June, and shipped in one consignment to tlio High Commissioner for New Zealand ill London, who will tuako all necessary arrangements for the cool-storage of Ithe exhibits on their arrival, nnd will also see that the staging and showing of the cheese in tho Royal Agricultural Hall, London, are carried out in the best possible manner. This will be the first occasion on which a competitive, exhibition of Now Zealand cheese has been made at tho prcat dairy show of London. I(* will without doubt be the means of bringing the quality of our produce under the notice of a largo number of people who have hitherto not had the opportunity of seeing it under the most favourable conditions. In this way the display should net as a splendid advertisement for New Zealand cheddar cheese.

Even the cheese factory manager can lighten the load of Tesponsibilitv > that bears him down-by installing "\ ictor Vats in place of those old-fashioned flatbottom vats. The "Victor" has a slopr ing bottom, nnd a central dram, which ensures a perfect flow of whey, thus leaving tho curds high and dry. lhis is the way to success. By this means you get better quality cheese, better prices, and bigger profits. Send for particulars oi the "Victor" Vat to-day-it's worth while. A. J. Parton, Plumber. Carterton.—Atfvt.
