THE Wairarapa Age MORNING DAILY. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1911. THE DAIRYING PROSPECTS.

Thie Hawera Star, in an article on dairying iprosipects, makes some remarks! which will' be read with interest iby -those engaged am the amiduis(try. 'lt say®: — "The directors of d'airy oomipaimes are getting plenty of advice jrust now. Agents and buyens have .tihueir respective views as to wthidh is thie better .miethodi of disposal, and there aire remarkably divergent opinions on market pirosipedts. On one hand we are toM that 'the oandi/tionis, especially the conditions- produced by the drought, in Europe must inevitably involute a range of .prices for the whole of the coming season. Another view is that the supplies from Australia and America <wi'lil be large, land that it is unwise to expect anything in the way of an abnlotrnsal imlarkiett. We do not doubt itihiat the various opinions are (honestly given,, tliougli obviously (there is a distinct possibility oif bias, conscious or umooansoious, arising from ispeoiial commercial interests. Lately >we have published a good miany of tSies© conflicting reports anid forecasts and opinions, and the dairy farmers of thie district ha/vie. all the information which is available. The directors, who h'ave to seil or consign under various conditions, may well feel that the responsibility lis root .inconsiderable. But thie annual meetings are Wringing them into Itiooich with isupplier®, and semiring for them a renewal of the confidence wf .suppliers, and there n'eed.be no fear but that what seems to be. the best course in each special isiet of ciroiim'srb'anoes wiH be taken. Thie cooperative- companies are veary admirably ,served .by .their directors and all oomcemed in the incfuisltiry may rely that every care will Ibe taken' too adopt the best course. The future cannot be forecasted wiiltli any certainty. Everyone fernowls that marked; fluctuations are inevitable, and . oa.nnot possibly be foreseen, but cer-

tainly tlio pro.spects very strongly encourage ! tth& belief tfluat the Home market will be more than stvtisfactory. At this end thie conditionis aire favourable. Tlve winter liiis .been a diatdnotlly good one-, and. spring its opening well, and only ,an unusfuial experience can cause ,a i&et-back."
