DOMINION DAIRYING.

INTEREST SHOWN IN AMERICA. INFORMATION TO BE GLEANED. That a wonderful amount of attention and interest in many parts o£ the world i« now concentrated on NewZealand as a dairy producing country is shown by literature just to hand. Two whole pages are devoted to New' Zealand in the leading dairy organ of Wisconsin. This article was inspired by the visit to America of the overseas delegation of the Dairy Control Board, Messrs Grounds, Motion, and Thacker, who are shortly to return to New Zealand. The article in the Wisconsin paper outlines, for the benefit of American dairymen, isome of the attainments of New Zealand farmers, and says :

“Any country which has been able to develop in a. few decades from a very little output to the foremost producer exporter in the world is a live wire. The New' Zealanders are in this business to stay. First, the country is naturally fitted for cows, and, secondly, these dairymen have decided to have the most perfect co-operative marketing organisation in the world, because they wish to place their products anyw'here and everywhere that can possibly pay the best price. So far as marketing is concerned the New Zealanders are stepping on the gas with both feet. These people believe in sound business principles, and are applying them in Sume of the largest and most successful co-opera-tive companies in existence. So well are they managing their business that to-day the Danes are being forced to sh ire their advantages in marketing with New Zealand.”

The paper goes on to record the departure for New Zealand, in oidet to study our conditions, of .Professor Macklin and Dean Russell, of Wisconsin University, who are at present in this country. These men, it says, will return with full information concerning New Zealand and the prospect of her future competition on American home markets.
