Australian "Sympathises With Them"
(By Telegraph
; AUCKLAND, Last Night. "I sympathise with the New Zealand dairy-farmer in haviug to accept a low price hxed by the Governmsnt for hi3 produce,',' "said Major J. R. King, of Sydney, chairman of the directors of Empire D airies, Ltd., before his departure on the Awatea. "It amazes me that the guaranteed price of 11'2/- per cwt. ia accepted so quietly when butter in London is now bringing 150/-." Major King considered the potentialities of dairy production in New Zealand immense and considered the pastures ' in the Waikato the best in the world. In farming methods New Zealand was far ahead of Australia, particularly in the use of topdressing. The only difficulties were the low guaranteed price and high internal costs. He thought tliere was a danger that this state of affairs would result in men turning away from dairyiug, despite the fact that "general conditions warranted an expansion of production.
