THE KAIPARA AND WAITEMATA ECHO WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED "THE KAIPARA ADVERTISER & WAITEMATA CHRONICLE." HELENSVILLE, THURSDAY, Aug 2, 1917 KAIPARA DAIRY FACTORY. A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.

WHAT better advertisement for this district is there than the figures relating to the development and growth of the Kaipara Dairy Factory Co., Ltd. The war certainly has had a beneficial effect on the prices obtained, but the growth of an industry of this ! kind cannot take place without the dairying country to support it. The production of this company is a primary product and its manufacture could not take place, as in most other industries, away from where its principal component part is produced, and that production requires fertile lands and the best pastures. This district has undoubtedly the productive properties, as the annual output is year by year increasing. Just one example of how the butter production will advertise a district, the Richmond River country in New South Wales maj be instanced. When labour trembles killed the sugar industry the district languished and the towns went back until someone discovered that grass converted into butter was more profitable than cane converted into sugar. To such an extent did the industry advertise the district that land prices went up to a figure that would have been deemed fabulous in the sugar growing days. We append herewith a table showing how the local company has progressed during the last six years of its existence, and they give ample proof of what rapid progress has been made. In a district like Kaipara where every additional pound of butterfat produced practically means so much more land won from the wild state, the increase is all the more gratifying, as it donates a steady extension of cultivated area, and that in turn means increased population and increased wealth. The following is the table, which we haye taken from past records, worthy of comparing:—
