DAIRY INDUSTRY. AN EXPERT FROM SWEDEN.

Christchurch. Friday. 1 Mr Carl A. Anderson, the bead expert on tho staff of tho “ Crown ” Cream Separ- 1 t ator Company, of Stockholm, Sweden, is | at present in Christchurch. This is not his £ first visit to New Zealand. He left here if about a year ago, after having spent some LC 18 months in the colony. On his return to Sweden ho visited tho Argentine and Brazil. Tho only thing required in the Argentine, ho told an interviewer, to make dairying a success is popniation. The, Government is fully awaro of this, and is doing all it can to induce immigration. Land is so plentiful that free grants of large tracts of extremely fertile land are quite easy to obtain. Mr Reynolds',-e formerly of Auckland, is conducting a largo factory, and is doing well. “ Since . my last visit to New Zealand," said Me AndersOD, “ dairying has gone ahead a - great deal in some places, especially in the ' North Island. I notice that farmers are, going in for milking-sheds. The butter' produced here appears to me to be fully equal in quality to any Scandinavian butter, thanks to the wise action of tb’ Government in adopting the gradir system, and to the large staff of expg

employed.” If New Zealand'butter is as good a„ Scandinavian,” remarked the interviewer,' “ how do you aecount for the higher price fetched by the latter ?” A “ Well, you must not forget," replied Mr Anderson, “ that Scandinavian batter has been on the English market for 20 or 25 yoars, and that it is, therefore, much better known, and consequently in greater e demand. There is always a prejudice <ii against something new and untried, but when New Zealand butter becomes better known it will fetch quite as good a price as Scandinavian batter does As a dairying country, I don’t think New Zealand can be beaten. Every facility as regards climato, feed, water, legislation is to bo found hero in favour of dairying, and under the able diroetion of Mr Kinsolla the dairying industry horo should go ahead.— Now Zealand Herald.
