The visiting party of Parliamentarians were very much interested at the Central Development Farm on Monday in the imported Friesian cow Woodcrest Daisy, whose butterfat production was displayed on a placard alongside the stall at which she was being milked. Woodcrest Daisy produced 7681 b of fat in her last milking season. At 1/6 per lb her output would be worth £57 12/, but as her milk went to Wellington. for the municipal milk supply, her actual return was considerably higher. When it is taken into consideration that her bull calf was sold at lOOgns last year when twelve months old, it will be seen that quality in dairy cows amply justifies itself.
