From the .latest . figures published there are indications that the production of butter this season will establish a new record for the Dominion. .Already the exports for the first six months of the season show an increase ■ of over three thousand tons on the 1 figure for the, corresponding period of last season. Cheese gradings are now on the increase, and it is expected that production for the season will at least equal that of lost season, if it does not actually exceed it. The butter grading figures are remarkable, and for the first two weeks of this month show an,increase of 40,000 boxes on the corresponding period of February, 1929. Due to tlie favourable conditions j butter production so far show no signs of the customary seasonal decline at this time of the year. It is probable a that production of butter for tlie cur- j. rent season will total 90,000 tons, as a against 81,656 tons last season and p 62,557 ton for the 1926 season. I i,
