BUTTER-FAT RETURNS.
REQUEST FOR PUBLICATION. (By Wire.—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night. The calculations formerly published by the Department of Agriculture covering the average production of butterfat *per cow for the whole of the Dominion have not been made available since the 1016-17 dairying season, according to Mr. J. A. Young (Waikato), who put a question on the subject to the Minister for Agriculture to-day. In many cases, he said, the selling price of land had been calculated on the butter-fat productivity of the cows and in some cases this production was double that given for the last season for which the calculations were published. The average figure in the 1916-17 season was 161 pounds per c<sw per year. The matter was one of the utmost importance to-day, in view of the deflation of the values of land and the products of the land, and up-to-date information should be made available. The Minister said the department would supply the information as soon as it was able to obtain it. The work was in hand.
