CARTERTON

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY FACTORIES CLOSE FOR SEASON. ("Times-Age” Special.) Several of the cheese factories in the Carterton district have closed down for this season. Others are only working every other day and will soon cease operations for the season. Early in the season an appeal was made to dairy farmers to supply an increased amount of milk to their factories and thereby enable the output of cheese to be increased, This appeal was responded to and all the factories show an increase in output as compared with last season. The ‘’Times-Age” Carterton representative was informed by factory managers that the total increase in the quantity of cheese in this district amounted to approximately 312 tons. The Dalefield Company’s output is 1,160 tons, an increase of 50 tons; Belvedere made 550 tons, an increase of 90 tons; Parkvale 600 tons, an increase of 100 tons; Carrington 340 tons, an increase of 50 tons, the highest for 8 years; Waihakeke 330 tons, an increase of 12 tons; Kokotau an. .increase of 10 tons on last year’s output; Ahiaruhe did not increase its output and made 125 tons. At all the factories the quality has shown considerable improvement over previous years.
