Sir,-—There seam* to be some likelihood of friction between the »u. llk SU P' pliers ot Fexton and Moutoa cohCb. rn ,‘ ing the removal of the creamery, aoQ thete is a movement afoot to get another company to put a creamery up hearer the Foxton suppliers On account of the Moutoa end people getting the advantage of a mile or so in the removal ot the old one. If you will allow me space I should like to point out one dr two things that have occurred to me with regard to the matter so that .they cad he thought out at the meCtirig oh Wednesday night. In the first place ilfilty is Strength and if a new creamery starts it cannot run oft the old one and there must be two; so the suppliers, not the companies, have to pay the upkeep of two creameries, salaries of two managers and assistants, in each case for a little more or less than half a decent supply for one; so it would seem that division is bad business for both ends. Then if the new company will not give the same as the Union the Foxton end by withdrawing their supply weaken the hands of the very concern that puts the price' on their biFtef fat i then that company scores,'bu{ Bdt.the suppliers who have all the work ailS little return. I understand that the outside possible distance . Union creamery will be from a mile and a quarter and tafirti* , c .., siderable doubt if It will be over a milt. Another consideration in the matter is our winter supply; if there are two creameries they cannot both run through the winter months and there will be a tendency to close down one before some of the suppliers are ready, and in each case the managers will . keep • the earlier suppliers waiting a long time to keep the machinery right oa going. In conclusion I should like to see this matter gone into in a businesslike manner; in Foxton and Moutoa we have a splendid area of land for dairying, in Moutoa there will soon be two or three new smaller suppliers, one if not two bigger ones and in Foxton at least one new and some old enes extended a*d there seems no reason, if we stick together, why in the not very distant future we should not have an up-to-date butter factory in our midst, in fact I believe the requisite number of cows are almost now available- Thanking you in anticipation.—l am, etc., Milk Supplier.
