WAIKATO DAIRYING
N.Z. CO-OP’S HUGE OUTPUT 40,000 TONS FOR SEASON (From Our Own Correspondent) HAMILTON, Today. An output totalling over one quarter of that for the whole Dominion is recorded by the New Zealand Cooperative Dairy Company for the season 1928-29. Its output has grown to little short of 40,000 tons. During the season the company manufactured 39,040 tons of dairy produce, made up as follows: —Butter, 27,195 tons: cheese, 5,949 tons; milk powder, 4,341 tons; condensed milk, 934 tons; casein, 621 tons. The manager, Mr. C. J. Parlane, states that these figures constitute an increase over the previous season of 3,702 tons, with a butter-fat increase of 3,339,0051 b. When it is considered that ten years ago the total output was 11,652 tons, the extent of the company’s expansion is strikingly illustrated. The unparalleled increase which has been recorded for the last season is due, said Mr. Parlane, to the excellent support accorded by dairy farmers in the company's territory, assisted by favourable climatic conditions, and a wider uso of fertilisers, which was made possible by the company’s effort in reducing the cost of manures to a figure which brought this very necessary commodity more within the reach of the producer.
