BUTTER FACTORY FOR FOXTON.
PUBLIC MEETING TO BE HELD. An agitation is afoot to start a butter factory in Foxton and a preliminary meeting will be held this evening to discuss preliminaries prior to holding a public meeting. It is pointed out that milk from dairy farms adjacent to the town is being forwarded to Shannon, Palmerston N. and elsewhere. We are also informed that Mr F. S. Easton is sub-dividing portions of his Mouton estate into dairy farms and says that the applications for holdings would require about 10,000 acres. The promoters of the butter factory scheme say that a guarantee of 2,000 cows is required and 500 are already promised and when a. canvass is made it is thought there should he no difficulty in securing the balance. From a local point of view, a butter factory would be a welcomed industry and we believe would be accorded both moral and financial support, because it would lend ultimately to closer settlement and improved land. The point the dairy farmer will consider, however, is whether a local factory will give him the immediate price for his butter fat that he now obtains from other factories.
