SOUTH TARANAKI'S GREAT SEASON

. A MAGNIFICENT YIELD. The value of South Taranaki's clieeso output for the current season so far reaches over three-quarters of a million sterling, says an exchange. At the Tefrigerating stores at l'atea, close on 86,500 crates of cheese have been received, whilst at Mangatoki and Kaupokonui stores something like' 18,360 cases have been placed in cool storage. In addition to this 21,000 cases have gone into the stores at Hawera, thus making a total of about •125,500 crates of cheese, the approxi?nate valuo of which would be well over £800,000. Since the season commenced, 32,119 cases have left the Dominion, whilst ever 7000 crates are at Wellington awaiting •Shipment, and it is confidently anticipated that before long that quantity for overseas will he augmented by a further 23,000 crates. The dairy season has been a long one, and an. exceptionally good one, and for. many years past there has not been such a wealth of feed for stock as exists at the present time.
