There is butter on hand to the value o£ £7OOO. When this has been sold, the proceeds will be paid out to suppliers. I'hiring the year casein p'.ints were installed at Tnglewood, Kainiata. Ratapiko, Bristol, and Waitui creameries. Everything in connection with this branch has worked very smoothly. We sold our curd to the New Zealand Casein Company at £4O per ton, with a guarantee of a further oO ner cent of net profits realised on the finished article when sold above an agreed price. We, therefore, hope to be able to make a further payment to those suppliers who have left their skim milk to be made into casein. We are endeavoring to obtain full information with regard to the dried milk industry, so that the question can be fully discussed at our annual meeting.
