THE DAIRYING INDUSTRY.

(to the editor.) Sir,—l crave from yon a smnll space in yonr columns to say a few words re tbe establishment of a baiter factory npon the Kawhia Haibour, It would und rnb edly be an incentive f<»« settlement and general prograss, and seeing generally in New Zealand thti t'je erection of a factory Las been fo'lowed by prosperity aud progress, the; 8 is no reason wby we should nut te equally so in ibis fair part of New Ze ila id. To re seems iu be one thing necessary—unanimity of opinion tn tbe selection of the site for the main factory. 8j far as we can see up >n this side, there is a possibility of being qg dissentient from the deep w .ec site. Originally there was a -in dl voice in ihe wildern -ss crying fr nn Te Anga f <r a f ctory instead of a c r eamery. but the fac of there not biing a g iod s urce f witer s ipnly available has stepped ibut cry ; ve understand the water supply u . iy i iri 'qut’o and anfi for he < <r.- se t “ the river water being u .-ui bi One is very sorry to -ee tnat an.--..e in this block should fall out with to* site upon tbe harb-rar shore, as it b e an exceptional water supply and is magnificently situated for handling the finished article from frees*-*g chaniberis in the factory to the chamber upon tbe cargo boat. It would be a great assistance to the several districts of Oparau, Awaroa, Te Rau-a» moa, and the other inlets -f this beautiful harbour, whilst tbe mutual ben • fits derived from tbe handling of large quantities would be greater than most people imagine There is also the fact. of having a home boat calling in the season, and, co-operatively speaking, we would save, in having uur imports direct, the cost of the factory in a short time. There is anoihet consid eration that should weigh well with tbe fair-minded but struggling settier, and that is tbe fact that tbe would be spread evenly over the tut-I suppliers, consequently tbe farmer ou| back would be haadicapped only wim tbe difficulty of getting his milk to tbe factory, and the large creameries would in the upkeep assist the smaller ones, thus bringing about true co-op-eration. I might state that in Kinohaku settlers are already getting their cows together, and otherwise proving by action that they are earnest. This note is overlong, but perhaps at some future time I may be allowed to again approach this important matter.— Yours, etc..
