The head office of the New Zealand Farmers’ Dairy Union indignantly denies the statement of the Masterton correspondent of the Domonion that the Union had from -Home 1700 boxes of butter to meet the shortage in Now Zealand, and the farther allegation that the Union was not making enough butter for local consumption and that twenty creameries will close down an the course of the next two weeks. Mr Bendall, secretary of the Union, states that there, is absolutely no'trnth whatever in the statement as the present output is still sufficient for requirements. Recent rains have checked the decresae ci the milk supply and no creameries will he closed so long as there is sufficient milk to keep them going and it is anticipated that the present rain will have the effect of keeping the creameries going for a longer was anticipated a month ago. •Mr Bendall also says that the statement by the Dominion that several qreameries are sending milk to Wellington at Sd a gallon does not apply to the Union’s creameries.
