Mr. Kinsella, Daiiy Commissioner, considers there is a promising outlook for dairying in the Auckland province. He strongly urges turning maize into ensilnge by means of cheap silos' North Auckland, he declares, is good grazing country, and a number of cxc. llent up-to-date factories have been started. The great drawback is the difficulty of landing dairy produce in the Auckland market in good condition. Speaking of Waikato, Mr Kinsella says dairying is booming in that district. The country round Te Awamutu is especially good. An impetus has been given to the industry by an influx of Taranaki dairymen, who are taking up and| tenefiting the old settlers with their experience. He ridicules the idea that he and his staff should be employed iv poking their noses into byres instead of giving practical instruction iivthe manufacture of dairyi ing products.
