Avliinh has been in vogue in Queensland tor tho past two years. Tho factory maitnger ue-erl not be afraid to tell the careless .supplier that he must g'ivo him n hiw record when lie deserves it. or else the factory will be amenable to the law. In tho past there has been a disposition to cover up the deknoaeneio.s of the wireless supplier by pooling 'his produce with the other cans. Tlicro is no doubt that a change for tho better will l)o on forced by the compulsory 'vrading of butter, for the factory •vill be obliged to improve its methods, or else its produce offered for export will be penalised. But this will only be a palliative. What is wanted is a system that will compel tact-ones to take this important stand of cream grading."
