On tin- rnolion of Mr Barr, the cliair was taken by Mr May, chairman or f!m debooi Committee. At Cm mj nest of the chairman, M;- i:,u-r addressed tun meeting H « showed that t!in industry was a ritoi liy growingone, that before Ilia iiilrodncrion of tlio freezing process the- export of butter, and nvon of cheese, was expensive, risky, and practically a failure, and that now their products could be sent Home wit It safety and assured success. Me gave instances of the splendid results which had attended the introduction of the industry wherever it had been established, from Southland to Taranaki. He had,yoars ago, tried .to do business, wir-h New Plymouth, but found, there were only two men in the whole place with whom anything could.be tJohc. It is now one of the most prosperous towns in the whole colony, with Taranaki at its bade, snuporcing pome 83,0001 cows and yielding a revenue of

more value than uli.tho gpUI soar from the Thames, while the population was becoming richer everyyour, improving their lauds audbeautifying their homes, settling down permanently, contented and happy. The ■Central Otago Factory, though only a short time in existence, has already a trade, amounting to £ISOO for .butter alone, besides what it doss in ch -ese. Its customers are found in Oamaru, -Vaimate an 1 Tiru-iru. it has alrea ly numerous creameries in Outgo and wishes to secure more, because the larger the business done the expense is less and the profit mo;e. Tim cost of a creamery suitable ,<for Morvou would be £IOO, raised in shares of £1 each. Subscribers' are expected to take 300 shares, to be paid for by Is on applica-’ tion, Is on allotment, and the balance in nine months. In the case, however, of milk suppliers the only payments are the first 2>, the rest being deducted from, their account for milk. About, 300 cows would be required for a creamery. Mr Cagney, in a very humorous speech, supported and illustrated the statements already made on tire contrast between trade twenty years ago and now, and the effect machinery had ' on cheapening wheat, etc. His remarks received great applause. Mr Moir, in reference to a remark made by Mr Cagney that trade in Palmerston had improved by 75 percent, i since the creamery there was opened, said he was of opinion that the improvement was at least £OO per cent. Amopg several instances of the great success of'the industry in North Otago, he stated that there were at first only three suppliers of milk, but now there are thirty. Some yvho.at first ref usedjto : senci

their milk are no v si'.hi s, and none who began •<) mpTy 1 ceased doing so. ;>p ■ ihnv.; .-’die indirect benefits, Mr Burr did pointed out that the railway look from £l,O to £;--0 h week tocarriage. Mr M-.»ir said tied ‘onuyears ago he had sold a number of cows at an average price of £1 10s, tor which £7 to £8 would now be giveii. Mr Barr said that £7 per cow for a season might be regarded ‘as

an average return, that the cow coming into favour was a cross between an Ayrshire and a Shorthorn, that the dividend paid last year by the Otago Central Fact ory was 8 per cent., that ho was not in favour of paying a bonus in addition to dividend, but where returns permitted the dividend might be increased : that the price paid"last year for milk was o:|-d per gallon, test 8.8 ; that the price varied with the tost ; that to subscribers lOJffbs of cream went to the gallon, to nonsubscribers 1 Llbu ; that from May Ist the price of milk bad l>‘en raised to Td a gallon ; and that the capacity of most of their separators was 200 gallons pee

The practical results of the meeting were that .100 shares were taken up hy tlio.se in the room and the formation of a committee, with a young and active secretary, to canvass the district for the remaining shares. Mr Nelson agreed to act us secretary pro tein, and Messrs Fitzhands, M'Taggart, Brown, Kennedy -,and Tresize were named and consented to act as a committed.
