As Mr Burrow \ had called the meeting perhaps he would go more fully into the mutter,. Mr Burrow stated he had endeavored , to get all the. informatipn.he could, but had only'received two letters in; reply to those issued, and his wish in calling the meeting was to'ascerfcain'the 'views of r those who might attend. Some whom ; he had expeoted to he present who were in fpor of the undertaking had doubtless been detained by the bad weather, but he would like to hear all present speak oh : the.matter, V,''' '■ .', •. ■■•■■ ' The ehairinih' having' read the" letters to hand from'Mr Oheokley of' Akaroa, and Mr Jas, Donald, of Featherston, it was resolved on the motion of Mr Gallie, 1 seconded by Mr Burrow, "That in the [ opinion of this, .'meeting, it is desirable to , forma butter and cheese factory • in' the 1 District to be called the ' Taratahi Butter and Cheese Factory, 1 "- The chairman then said it might, be as ' well if they could ascertain something as ;, to their being able to' get a constant supply'from! 300. cows, which he thought , would be about the smallest amount of milk they could jjo, with to work the ' undertaking to advantage at about .the average price quoted, 3Jd per gallon. He •■ did;not know exactly what Gilpin and Pardon were doing, but he thought they 1 were selling all they could.make, as ho \ knew they could not get orderß completed with at the store.now with the same ! facility'they did two years ago.

Mr Smith agreed with the ohairimii that the main question.was who was going toßupplythe milk arid would-they do it . .at3jd?, If they were going, to send all / their milk to the factory/how were they ' going to rear "their calves 1 He reckoned : his of last, year to be worth £3O or £4O, • and it would take a lot of milk at the ■ price quoted to produce that;sum..;" ',':•,. 9 Mr G. A, Fairbrother stated, that the 1 price quoted meant 9d per lb for butter; ' all the year round, which he thought would sink the question of rearing calves'. ' Besides, at th,e Feathorstori factory the * suppliers got the whey back, He thought a good cow would yield lOlbs of butter in J a week. Mr Goodin did not think more than one 3 in fifty would, '-''"■'■ Mr Meenken stated that while with Mr Donald for some years they were milking some 60 or 70 cows which yielded an average of lOlbs per week, ' ! Mr W. Francis ,eaid he had not asoer,- - tain6d exactly how many cows could be obtained. He would be ready to start with 50 or 60 and might go up to 100. There was plenty of land in the district that would well carry cows, but it would t take ayear or two to get the matter into I thoroughly profitable working order, He I thought it was a poor lot »f oows that would not average fibs per week. The '> land, however, would have to' l be'gol in i order, as cattle could not be turned out on bare landsi'lf'they wished : to ; eet' a good supply of milk tlioy must have good t feed.- He calculated a maii might put 70 i to 80 head on a- 200 .acre farm,; and that I it would pay bini well to doml; '■! >/. ' Mr G. A, Fairbrother from his experi- ■ ence estimated there were.about ;BQO,COWS i in the district. I Mr C. Goodin stated that even where a mob had been carefully picked over for years they would not on an average produce more than 81bs per head. He was '• speaking from the experience of himself and brothers over a period of between 20 and 30 years. The chairman would point out that they were going in to create a new industry in the district to create an outlet that would allow of any amount of expansion 1 for those wUo chose to go more exten- ; sively into dairying, There might not be a surplus now, but he thought if there was : ,a cornpany started which would.-take aB '■- large.quaptities as'they'liked to ■produce . and farmers knew they" could get'a price \ equivalent" tb : 9d -of'lOd all the' year round; they would get exaolly what they wanted Mr Burrow stated he had not taken the matter up with a desire of making a large personal profit, but as startiug a local industry that would be advantageous , -to the district. He was ready to invest £IOO in the concern, and he behaved it would pay well Mr G. A Fairbrother thought it was desirable to ascertain cost of plant and working, to explain the matter fully to the public He thought they might name a nominal capital and provisional directors' as a committee to gain full particulars, f 'A general expression was given that the oupitahhonhUe
