Dairy Factory Manager Without Certificate

DAIRY COMPANY FINED. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Jan. 29. Tiie first case of the type in the Dominion, involving a breach, of the Dairy Industry Act, was brought this morning, when the Oinimi Dairy Factory was charged with employing Morris Raymond Gale as manager when he did not possess a certificate, Gale being charged also with the offence. It was explained that the case had been brought to apprise dairy factories of their obligations, a heavy penalty not being sought. Gale had since satisfied the certificate requirements without difficulty. Defendants were ordered to pay Court costs.

ity of their product has been the keynote of the success achieved by Denmark, Holland, {Sweden and other foreign countries, against whom we must compete for a greater proportion of England’s requirements. Hence, the question of regulated production is au equally vital consideration in our future prospects. “By arrangement with our Government, Britain agreed to accept for the year just closed 17,500 tons of frozen pork in bacon weights. This is an increase of 5,000 tons on the previous year’s allocations and represents a trend which should be safeguarded at any reasonable cost. Nothing, however, of a practical nature has yet been attempted to ensure that this, and future allocations will be filled, which to ine seems vital if we are to hold our present advantage and thus place our selves in a reasonable position to seek au expanding share of the English market in accordance with our proved ability to produce it. “Although the considerations reviewed alt involve, in their solution, reforms which may not be welcomed by all sections of the industry, to producers it should bo obvious that they alone must suffer by any failure to introduce the obvious correctives to •afeguard their future markets. “Iu conclusion, it may bo desirable to draw attention to the apparent fall iu production as disclosed by current statistics. During the present season, when viewed in terms of butterfat returns, no animal on the farm could have been more profitable than the pig, and 1 with the prospects of a continuinglucrative market for the balance of the season, it is to be hoped that producers will not take the shortsighted view by j allowing other temporary, and perhaps 5 more attractive, consideratiosn to check i the splendid progress achieved over the J last few years in the expansion of our j exports." ■
