NEW ZEALAND BUTTER
WINS HIGH PRAISE. [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). LONDON, Nov. 12. Sir John Bussell, director of the Bothamsted Experimental Station, gave a. luncheon at the Savoy Hotel. The guests included Sir James Parr. Sir John Bussell, describing his recent tour, declared that New Zealand’s natural conditions were unexcelled for dairying. Two matters to which attention should he directed were:—First, a reduction in the price of land and secondly, the improvement of the productivity of individual cows. New Zealand butter, because its standard was very strictly maintained, was the most popular in Britain. A recent conference of British milk suppliers called to consider over-pro-duction. rejected the proposal to establish a butter factory because “everybody prefers New Zealand butter.” The selling organisation returned to the New Zealand farmer 75 to 80 per cent of the price paid in England. The English dairy farmer received f>o per cent of the price of his milk ten miles from his farm. New Zealand’s experimental farm was doing valuable work, and should receive every assistance from the Government.
