DAIRY COMPANY’S CUP.

MR. F. WALTER’S PRESENTATION. SERVICES OF GREATEST VALUE. Mr F. W. Walters, of Springdale, Waitoa.’ has been a director of the N.Z. Co-operative Dairy Co. for some years and has now found it necessary on medical advice to retire from some of his public duties. During hip term of office bn the board Mr Walters was impressed by the fine work put in by some of the officers of the company, and bis last act on retiring from the board was to donate a handsome solid silvei cup to the dairy company. Mr Walters desires that this cup should be presented each year to the officei of the company whose services had been if the greatest value to the industry during the preceding twelve months, all members of the head office staff and factory staffs to be eligible. At a meeting of over 200 committeemen of. the N.Z. Dairy Company a few nights ago, in Hamilton, a presentation was made to Mr W. Y. Kirkman, the factory superintendent of the company, who will be the first holdei of the cup. It was Mr Walters’ express wish that Mr Kirkman should be the first recipient of the cup in view of the very fine services rendered to the dried milk industry by Mr Kirkman during ’’his recent trip in America and on the Continent of Europe. Several of the ideas brought back by Mr Kirkman— chiefly in connection with a new system of precondensing skim milk —will considerably reduce the cost of milk powder manufacture. Mr Walters is to be highly commended for his generous action.
