N. Z. BUTTER

ENGLISH VISITOR COMMENTS ON PREJUDICE AT HOME. "Th'e first thing I will do when I return to England will be to try and persuade people to buy more New Zealand butter," said Viscountess Hill, a visitor from England, who has been touring parts of the North Island recently. . While I was in Hamilton I was conducted through a New Zealand butter factory, where I saw the complete process of butter-making.^ I was exceedingly impressed by the richness of the cream and other ingredients used and by the absolute clealiness which prevailed throughout the whole ^ factory. _ i

"Some of the poorer people in England," continued Lady Hill, "have an | unfortunate prejudice against import- j vgd butter. They do not trust it, and j if they cannot get English they would j sooner do without any. I shall endeavour to combat this prejudice when j I return to England by describing my tour through the butter factory i I have seen." j Lady Hill was also very impressed . with the healthy-looking dairy cattle j she has seen in the North Island, and , partieularly at the Government farm in Hamilton over which she was con- ! ducted. The Women's Institute movement in England is one in which Lady Hill > is deeply interested, and she is presi- j dent of the institute at her home in j Presteign, Radnor. j "The movement in New ZeZaland j seems to follow closely on the lines ! of the English institutes," she said. : Over 400 garments had been made and sent hy Lady Hill's institute to the distressed areas in South Wiales this year1, while 'all the institutes in England worked for other people as well as themselves.
