NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED TONS OF BUTTER.
SHANNON FACTORY’S OUTPUT LAST SEASON.
The Shannon Dairy Co, is at present installing another new cream vat, with a capacity of 700 gallons, in order to cope with the extra supply of this season. Some idea of the progress the dairying industry has made in Shannon during the last ten or twelve years can lie gathered front the following figures: In 1907, the year the present dairy company was formed, their output for the season was 90 tons of butter. In 1910 it itad increased to .170 tons, the price uf butterfat then being 10Id, and they paid out to suppliers the sum »f £14,271 14s Bd, and £7lB 18s Gd in wages. For the year just past! 155 tons of butter have been manufactured, and £113,097 18s 9d was paid to suppliers, being at the rate of 2s 8.40 d. per lb. for fat. Thq wages have amounted to £1,745 17s 3d. If the output continues to increase at the same rate as it has done in the past, and there is every indication that it will, the outunt within ten years will reach 1,000 lons of butter annually.
