The War

EFFECT ON DAIRYING INDUSTRY. OPINION OF A PROMINENT • DAIRYMAN. The probable. effect of tlie present F,uropean war upon the dairying industry and the prospects, for the coming; season, formed the subject of some interesting remarks by Mr A. Morton, chairman of the Mangorei Dairy Com* pany, at the annual meeting of that company yesterday. As Mr Morton is a prominent ligure in the dairy world, being chairman of the National Dairy Association as well as of other institutions, his words have considerable weight. They were faced that day, he said, with an outlook with which they had never been faced before. Never previously within his recollection, nr of that of his hearers, had they had to put their produce on the Home market when it would be subject to interception by an enemy's Jleet. Tlhis was a seii-' mis position, which the management of this producing company and others in tliis Dominion and in Australia and ■ other Eiitish Dominions, would need to carefully handle, ]le warned them that it would be impossible to expect the same, rates cf advance as in the past. He did not know what would be the result, but all bad got to take a •hare of the burden that the Empire of which they were a portion had *a bear. The main trouble, he said, was tihe uncertainty of shipping their produce to the Home market. [f they could ship it and get it on the Home market they could be certain of realising high prices, but they might not be aide to ship. It was practically certain that no sales would be made, but that every producing company would have In take, the risk itself of putting its produce on the Home market; and that risk, lie asserted, would have to be taken. They must get rid of their produce, as it was impossible to store it without enormous expense in providing freezing accommodation expense which could not possibly be considered. !If course it had been suggested that after the accommodation at the various freezing works had been taken up. the produce might lie stored ill the holds of the ships in New Zealand ports: but there was only a limited number of boats, and there would be no more arriving unless England was assured of the safety and control o,' he,- eoiiimcrcc on the high seas. Without doubt their produce would be liable to deterioration if the free, handling of it on the high peas was interfered with. lie did not wish to iniike any rcmmkn of an alarmist nature, but merely wished to briny home to them the outlook, so that if tliev received only a moderate rate of advance they would know that if. was due to the peculiar circumstances that go.--erned the world to-dav. If there "we-i any chance of getting the produce on the English market, it would be taken adMintage of. Knglaud must have produce, as she did not produce enough for hi-r own requirements. Referring to the respective prospects of cheese and buHcr for the season, he '-aid that it had l,ee„ bv some people that this would he a great thin" for cheese, which would lie used to feed the armies. Possibly this might he so. but Jie pointed out that the production of cheese would not be lesso-jicd. New Zealand and Canada wei-e (he biggest ''' se-producers in the world, and'their production would not be interfered with Regarding butter, lie said that Yew Zc i land was not a very large producer, but the war would greatly interfere with the larger Continental producers Denmark was partially or wholly, and Liberia absolutely, out, of the question on tie flume market to-day. T!y reason of the fact that none of the Continental production would be available for England, the conditions in New Zealand amf Australia were exceedingly bright for hi-'h prices, but it. would cost somctliiw "fo get it on the market. If the war"was short and sharp it would be so much the better, and if prolonged, so much (he worse, as that would be due to the fact that one side was unable to gain a dc''ided advantage over the 'other, lie ;bop"d .'hat it would be as short and sharp a, possible, so thai, they would early arrive at a settled state of a Mai, s.
