CORRESPONDENCE.

“RE HOOPING UP.” (To the Editor.) Sir, —I notice in your correspondence column that an old timer at Riverdale factory is amusing himself regarding the time his factory boys are taking to hoop up. Smail wonder that his factory holds its own for labor and strikes, etc. Fancy allowing about forty pounds worth of our cheese to be made a plaything of! The next we will hear Is that Riverdale l:as the champion swimmer who can do twice round the whey vat. before it is made into whey butter. Any Government grader will tell you that the chec‘-< should be left set in the loops for at le-.ist 20 minutes before dressing. To shift ±he curd from the vat into the loops, set and tighten up, slack back, and dress in 20 minute spells second grade cheese, this at a time when quality is everything on the London market.—l am, etc., "CHEESE IT.” Cardiff, December 9. (To the Editor.) Sir, —I' did not Intend writing again on the above subject, but seeing that "Old Timer” must be suffering from delusions, I would like to inform him that I a-m not quite so dense as he thinks, and also that I have completed the full journey, that is, hooping up, dressing etc., in much faster time than "Old Timer” was reported to have taken, and I have never considered myself a champion, nor had a paragraph printed In the paper about it. A shame, isn’t it? Further, I am not so itnuch broken down that I may nut' stroil in some fine evening shortly, and connect up with that thirty quid. It would eomo in handy for the holidays, providing a certain young man from the Mangatoki district does not get in first. He used to cut it i.ut in 13 minutes. If he ’does, I would advise "Old Timer" to use a little more "starter," or, as an alternative, chloroform his opponent. —I aim, etc., FAUGH-A-BALLAGH. Okato, December 9, 1921.
