DAIRYING INDUSTRY.
The value of dairy produce exportied from New Zealand for the year ending March 31st, 1909, is set down in the Government statistics at £2,287,759. This is nearly double what it was in 1901. Wool is our most valuable export, at March 31st being valued at £6,063,436. Frozen meat, valued at £3,078,029, comes second. Dairy produce is third now, but at the present rate of its increase annually, whilst wool and frozen meat remain about the same, the prediction made by Sir Joseph Ward that the dairy produce exported from New Zealand would ere long be ths greatest of our exports may not take so long to be fulfilled as some think. There will be several new factories in Otago, Canterbury and Southland next season, arfd also in other parts of New Zealand. These will be mainly cheese factories, as cheese has paid suppliers best for some years back, and it looks as if it was to continue doing so, as there seems more room for cheese in the British markets than butter, and cheese has no foe to face in substitutes like butter has in margarine.
