TARANAKI DAIRYING.
EFFECT OF COPIOUS RAINS. Dairy companies round South Taranaki all report a great revival as the result of the excellent rains since Christmas and the generally favourable conditions prevailing during the last four or five weeks. It has served not only to stop the fall in supply which had set in strongly but actually to set in motion an upward move which has held well. The position has improved vastly since December 31. All report being down to a varying extent from 2 per cent, or somewhat more up to the end of December, compared with last year, but they are all confident that January’s favourable conditions will not only make that up, but are pretty certain to show an actual increase. And as one leading dairy factory secretary put it, it will probably be an increase on an increase, that is, a return ahead of the great figures recorded for 1924, which were the best shown up to that date.— Hawera Star. Although tliis report indicates that the Taranaki pastures have been gi-eatly revived by the recent copious rainfall, travellers state that the W.aikato farms are looking much better, at present than those in the Taranaki province.
