-The report of Mr.6. Bowron, Inspector of .Dairy Factories in New Zealand gives a pleasing picture of the great things which these new institutions aro likely to do for the. colony in the future but it is also reveals the faot that .they have not up to date proved very profitable undertakings, Mr Bowron is the guide philosopher and' .friend of some score of; factories 'scattered about New Zealand, Borne of them yearlings others two year olds and a few which have yet to commence operations. Ho pats them • on • the. hack- a little and encourages, them-' to persevere but he does not pretend to Jjbow that-any-of them have, so . far been particularly successful In theory, dairy factoiy enterprise is profitable' but in practice it is rather risky. If the following conditions be secured all iE well, viz,,—A right kind of factory in a right locality supported by the right kind of farmers who possess the' right kind of co ws, controlled by the right kind of manager under the supervision of the right kind of directors and sending out produce to the right kind of market) and generally being fortified by the right kind of experience. Dnder such conditions the success of a factory is assured, but when-as usually appears to be the case-several of these conditions are wanting, it follows, as a matter of course that the balance-sheet at the end of the year sllows a substantial loss. It does not, however, follow that these preliminary difficulties should swamp dairy factory enterprise. Ws are glad to learn that <£22,000 is invested in plant and buildings in this colony, because this means that the promoters'of factories will lose aore by throwing up the sponge than they will by fighting against .the difficulties with which they have to contend. In time, if they persevere, . they will undoubtedly make their annual receipts balance their annual expenditure, and within a very few- years we may even expgcfc them to pay dividends, It is said that there are 2500 factories in .America, j No doubt they .have fouifd out in the States the way to make these institutions pay, and by-

and-by we shall alßo discover the secret of success, Mr Bowron in his report does uot speak with any special degree of-enthusiasm of factories in Wairavapa South, They are evidently among those which have to modify the conditions under. which they are worked .b|f6.i^they-hofloine ;; should "tbejpau- :.wiich Tiie.subject;<) factories ji-gne_-ihßt'.' the Jlastertorii farmers' •■Giub 'tnight 1 ' well take' intb consideration.'-'-- 'lt My appear singular that-'in'this'tOWh which -is tluo .centre of the,-best sti-etcb'.of-grazing ]aijd in the Wafrarapa;, na;cffoH-ias been made to start:-a dairy factory.
