quality OF CHEESE “MARKED DETERIORATION” CIRCULAR FROM LONDON . FIRM (Per United Press Association.) Stratford, May 28. The executive of the Taranaki branch of the Friesian Association to-day fully discussed the questions of standardization and system of payment for milk. A circular letter from Lovell and Christmas, of London, was brought' before the meeting. It was in reply to an inquiry regarding standardized cheese, asking if the quality of New Zealand cheese was keeping up to the standard of last season. The firm replied that in their opinion, the standard had deteriorated. The texture was too open. The cheese developed cracks after cutting. There was a tendency to discolouration and in some cases, a strong rank flavour.

Regarding the system of payment for milk, the chairman, Mr C. A. Marchant, said that the present system had grown up with the industry, but the fact that no progress had been made was directly due to the present directors of the Dairy Division who did not move with the times. It was quite possible to niake good standardized cheese, but some; managers had made a point of incorporating all the moisture possible and have a world product, and one result was that at Home, some cheese was found exuding pure whey. Good standardized cheese could be made if the factories set out to make good firm cheese. The present grading system had outlived its usefulness. ' Grading should be at the other end, but he accepted the authorities’ assurance that there were great difficulties in the way. The making of good cheese would be impossible while some factories put in. 42 per cent, of moisture. To-day there were malpractices in making cheese which should not be permitted. The movement for a changed system of payment for milk was not for the benefit of a particular breed, but a matter of justice for the whole industry. At a conference to be held shortly at Hamilton, the Director of the Dairy Division would hear more about standardization than he ever had before. The operations of some factories had done damage which it would take many years to rectify. The industryshould set to work to put their house in order. The trouble arose from factory directors demanding the highest possible yield instead of the.highest possible quality. It was decided to refer Lovell and Christmas’ circular to the Director of the Dairy Division.
