MARKETING DAIRY PRODUCE 1 .

(To the Editor.) Sir,—Same pros and eons of the packing house scheme. How ara we going to regulate the right quantities of butter and cheese as required for the packing house -market? Put a standard value on the difference between th? manufacture of butter and cheese, also ’’ king into consideration the value of skim in Ik and whey. Factories can then make • product to order. How are we going distribute butter from the packing house ip retailer? Appoint financial distribu:i. agents, one in each city. Use a butter

box to meet the requirements of the city trade, and make the agents responsible for returning empty boxes to packing house. How would we meet undue competition In cities served by any packing house? Introduce a security clause between all packing houses, to compensate any packing house, which might have to meet undue competitidu. Wjul-1 the consumers buy our butter when they know that our butter comes from New Zealand? Yes, when we can tell them by advertisement that our butter is pure, also what Is in the adulterated article. What would the butter blenders dd when our butter went off their -market? They would use the butter they bought from us to compete against us, and then they would have to purchase butter of poorer quality from other countries, which means that the adulterated butter would depreciate in quality, with loss profits to the butter blenders. Now that the dairy conference is to be held on the 14th, I hope that some of my suggestions will assist in the discussion. I am looking forward for better days when it will hot be necessary to milk cows for Tooley Street.—l aim, etc., T. E. LARKING. Okato, September 8.
