THE DAIRYING SEASON.

The dairying season of 1909 10 is opening under the most favourable auspice 3, states the "New Zealand Dairyman." Without endeavouring 'o pose as prophet, we will make L.IJ to say that wlcn the history of the coming season comes to be written it will be described as the "ten and sixpenny season." This, being|translated, means that it will be a syason which returned^!Od for butter and 6d | for cheese. The whole truth about j the cheese position to-day is that there Jias been- again an immense shortage in Canada. Latest Canadian statistics show that there has been a great falling off in the number of cow* milked, and a marked falling off in the quantity produced. In the first month. June, the deficiency in the exports for the 30 days alone was 20,000 boxes, and with a shortaga of 69,585 cows in the cheese producing provinces, it seemed doubtful in the Canadian mid-summer whether the export figures of 1908 wnuid be reached. And let it not be supposed that the cheese is being stored,, or held back for later shipment. The system in Canada to-day is to sell the cheese and ship it, and get the money as quickly as possible, and therefore what storage is being done is in England.
