THE SSSlfc:J '.'+\ -

COMPULSORYBUTTER GRADING.

(THE CASE FO CpECION.

AS PUT BY 31U. LOCKYER.:

-In a further note respecting his report onFederal supervision of tho; butter, export trade, .Mr. N; Lockyer points out that "the .proposalsIn question are merely suggostlve. Their inten-tion is to. provide a remedy for many of 4theabuses which have tended; to injure the reputation of the Australia ;bulter export trader/ andthus avoid the inevitable lossss to, the producers \vhich must follow the careless treatment a4' "»udling. of their produce" ;

.It dy been.indicate-d that the reportadvai ii sw reasons why grading should beccmpu On the other hand, it is safe tosay that, me objection of the producers in thisState to being coerced into submitting to thisGovernment interference is as deep-rooted asever. Further, there' is little room for doubtthat, having had an experience of. optionalgrading, there is a stronger, feeling against itthan evqr. Those who have been added to. theopposition include important factories that have/given'it a fair trial and decided that theywerobetter without It. There is no attempt 'in the,report to overcome the vital objection thatgrading butter 16,000 miles away from its marketis valueless, and oftentimes so misleading as to |prejudice the sale of the article. As to raisingtho standard of. the product the opinion inrightly held in .this State that this is not to beachieved by grading at the port of shipment,but. by a well-devlscd system of State supervision and' instruction on the farm and in thefactory. That this supervision of the milk andcream supply and of manufacture is recognisedas the1 only solution of the problem of raisingthe average standard of quality by the Commonwealth authorities is evidenced by the recommendation of Federal supervision of, ^factories./ This is apparently only a first steptowards the advocacy of Federal supervision ofherds nnd dairies, as a means of -bolstering upthe efficacy of grading. .

TheVe is also nothing In the report to differentiate in the sweeping charges of malpracticesbetween the position in New South Wales andthe other States. It is true, for instance,, thatserious complaints have Justly been madeagainst Victorian consignments, but New SouthWales has been free of similar charges. Underthe co-operative system by which 95 per cent, ofthe butter of this State is manufactured theindustry has made remarkable progress in everyrespect, aud It will' continue to do so withoutthe objectionable compulsory system, whichmay be necessary to bring, say, Victoria up tothe. same level, and to eliminate some of theevils of the' proprietary system, which has sucha; big grip in that State. The best '

safeguardagainst fraudulent practices is co-operativemanufacture and export.

We now glvo Mr. Lockyer's arguments In favorof the compulsory grading in more detail thanwo wcro able to do yesterday, in 'order that producers may >veigh them for themselves. Aftersome preliminary statistics of the butter Industry, the report goes on to say >—

It is an industry In which the producer reaps to alarge extent the full benefit of his labors, and the:moresuccess we attain in standardising the quality of this

Iparticular product, .the less chancethere will be of theprofits being diverted from the ipun on the land. For an

!accurate standardshould represent a currency of known'value, which may only be affectedby the market fluctuations. In New Zealandthe fanners generally appreciatethis, and hail any effort to improve the reputation .andenforce uniform standardsof purity andquality. Ajimi-lnr view is taken by tbe majority of the butter makersof Australia, who clearly understand the value in theworld's great markets of n good reputation for theirproduce. Thereare others who desireno restriction, whoresent supervision,andclaim to be the best judgesof thequality, weight, and character of the description whichthey may.desireto choosefor export. The loudest opponents of supervision are certain speculative dealers 'hoseprofits must decreasewith the attainment of uniformityin the standards of quality. There arc a few farmers,unfortunatelyv who look upon Government supervisionwith- disfavor. On the part of some it is the naturaldisinclination4to submit to any interference, and theyfail to see, no matter how objectionable such interiorenccmay be, it Is far less an evil than the injury whichmayatteud their industry by the mischievouscompetitionof 6hort weight, -adulterated,or inferior products of theirless capable oi?dishonest competitors.

There is a strong residueof opposition on the.part ofthose who lag behind in efficiencyarid enterprise, andwho have still to learn that the Governmenthas no object in view but to serve them.and improve their condition. At considerableexpense, the State Governmentshave taken .exceptional trouble to safeguard the interests and provide educational facilities for the .improvement of this industry. The State experts supervising thebutter . industry are very capable men with high ideals,of their wofk and

'their responsibility. Their industry

nnd. enthusiasmhave, I think, contributed very largelyto the improvement of the butter trade of Australia. Itis these expert supervisors who act as our supervisorsunder the CommerceAct. The reforms they have effect-cd«hithertb have naturally poen accompanied-at timeswitli difficulties due to opposition, which invariably accompanies any attempt at improvement, aud it is allthe more important for their successfulsupervisiop overthe export trade, that the central administrative authority is removed from -those local influences which attimes succeedin neutralising any local attempt at im-'partial supervision. The CommonwealthGovernmentbythe Commerce.Act should supplement the excellent workundertaken by the States, and by the enforcement ofuniform standards of quality throughout Australia regulate the ,butter export trade. It would thus protectthe reputation of each State, as well as the industry asa whole/ and it may be noted, that no other industry,with perhapsthe exception ofthe meat export trade, isso Uable'to injury by careless,or fraudulent tradedescriptions in regard to :quality and quantity'..

I do not consider that we may ever attain successfuluniform standards of quality, unless the grading of but- -:ter for export is compulsory. Each parcel sent out ofAustralia should bear the Commonwealth "approved" istamp, and' carry some distinctive and exclusivemark ofquality. The whole intention is to improve, tbe quality |and Relling price of this product, to raise the inferiorproduct of certain factoriesto ft higher level, nndbenefitthe pockets of tlie dairy, farmers. But 'so long as wepermit an alternative practice;' we must" continue 4ocater for the carelessproducer, witli the dangerof levelling down rather than 'of .raising up the reputation ofthe product, with the more serious danger of ipfiictln?very great injury on the whole industry. Compulsorygrading is in favor of all that is best in the industry. Hprotects the bona-flde butter maker,-who will not en-ilanget his reputation by short weight or inferior quality. It is consideredthe indispensablefeature of success in those countries which have a high level. in thomarkets of tlie world in regard to excellenceof quality,and in the prices realised, and it is only opposed bythoso whoseinterests are-purely personal andXoreign tothe true interests of the industry at large.

Hitherto, the Commonwealthadministration hasendeavored to exercise every possible persuasionin dealingwith thosewho are not in sympathy with, or do not understand, tlie substantial advantages which will certainly follow the careful regulati of our export trade.Tills policy has' possibly affordedsome encouragementto jthe persistent opjKjsltion and frequent misrepresentation|which greatly add to the difficulties of our officers,and jprobably impress the minds of certain producers witlithe idea that these adverse critics are Impartial, andhave good reason for their opposition. It may yet befound necessaryto replfeto Some of these persons whoresist all forms of control, and show, in at least a lewinstances, whatever may he the real reason for their opposition, their interests are not identical with the bestinterests of the butter industry.

Later on, under the heading ol "Butter Grading,"- Ipropose to show that our present, methods are imperfect nnd open to criticism, and that a substantialalteration is necessary in order that they' may thebetter attain what is desired. But, notwithstanding this,very excellent woik bus beendone. The very numerousinstances in which the quality and weights of butterhave been successfully challenged and the informationfurnished to the factories of the character and qualityof their products as exported have exorcised a verywide and beneficial influence. Tlie importance of compulsory butter grading, and its undoubted influence on(he uniform quality of production, has hada remarkableIllustration recently in Queensland. Owing to theexcellenceof the supervision made possiblein tHat Stateby tlie wise and exceptionally thorough provisions of theDairy Supervisionand Export Act, the Minister for Tradeand Customs, under the CommerceAct regulations, approved of. their observancein Queensland,in addition tothe prescribed classification and trade -description mgeneral"use throughout Australia. Tlie Quetiselandregulations provided for compulsory grading, and it wasattended with great success

After quoting from a report by Weddel and Companys"Ccicnial ProduceReview,"—"The Australian dairy industry is still troubled about compulsory grading of butter, and the natural corollary of placing tlie grademark on each box. All the advantages of thissystem and the beneficial effects of it in practicearc well known Iti British markets its disadvantages are totally unknown"—Mr. Lockyer concludesjwith the remark that "in my opinion it is impossibleito raise the Australian butter industry to the highlevel necessaryfor its reputation abroad and -its meetprofitable development at Ixrnie without the aid of -torn-nilsory grading, and the uniform standards of qualitywhich that eompulsoo grading will attuin."

PREVALENCE OF COBLIN MOTH.

Referring yesterday tp the codlln moth, tho

Minister for Agriculture stated that there wasno doubt tho .pest had been very prevalent

this season throughout the State.' For this tho

orchardists themselves, were largely respon

sible, as they had failed in using every endea

vor to keep their orchards clean. The growerscomplained that the requirements of the de

partment "were too exacting, and pointed out

that less was required in Tasmania than here.

They forgot, howevor, that, owing to tbe

wnrmer climate, the' moths- bred more fre

quently in New South Wales. -Self-interest,

should have been sufficient to induce the grow

ers to do all that was needed "to destroy tho

pest. It had been proved beyond doubt that

spraying was the best remedy, and those who

had used this method during the past seasonwere so satisfied with the result that therewas sure to bo an increaBO In the number ofpersons who dealt with tho moth next season

in that way. While spraying was moro effectivethan bandaging, .the combination f the two

systems gave tfobest results of all. So

Strongly impressedwere some fruitgrowers on

this question that they had urged the department to make spraying compulsory. The chief

difficulty, Mr. Perry, pointed out, was withthe small growers, who would not take thotrouble to keep down tho insect pests.-

IRISH BLIGHT ON THE HUNTER.

EXTENSION OF INFECTED AREA.-

MAITLAND, .Wednesday.— U0 till 10 or 12days ago, farmers in tho Maltland district worelooking forward to tbo satisfaction of. digging aremunerative crop of potatoes. The' season hadbeen a spienciiu one, ana tne crops never looiteubetter. But since then the whole prospect has

changed, and growers aro now lamenting biglosses, consequent on tho widespread ravagesof Irish blight. . The plague has spread withastounding rapidity, and the whole, of thoLower Hunter is now embraced in tho area ofdestiuctlon. The first reports showed thatBolwnrra, Dunmore, and Woodvillo were seriously affected, hut reports from other portionsof tbe district

'show that the destruction i3

equally, as great at Phoenix Park, Duckenfieid,and Brisbane' Field; in fact, right down toSwan Reach'. The farmers at Louth Park arealso sufferers by the devastating disease.

The spread of tho disease has been staggeringin its swiftness and deadly in effect, for cropswhich overnight were apparently healthy, next

mo/nlng showed unmistakable signs of infection, and in a remarkably short space the wholecrop had turned black. Large areas had beencropped with potatoes, and the loss attendingthe outbreak is therefore very great, runninginto thousands of pounds' worth. The bulk oflast season's winter crop was disposed of forseed purposes on the Northern Rivers nndamong Sydney gardeners. In that respect theloss is hoavior than if the tubers were soldfor eating purposes, alone.

It is not. altogether the present loss that istroubling the farmer particularly. It is the'future that presents such an ugly picture, forthe disease is just as likely to break\out againin the- summer crop. The potato was one ofthe principal crops on the Hunter, and as suchwas Invaluable for a change for bringing thoground back into proper order for re-plantinglucerne. ,.

DEPARTMENTAL ACTION.

In : connection, with i the outbreak of Irishblight in the Hunter River district, it was explained yesterday that, at -the request of -theMinister, Mr. "VV. J. Allen, of the AgriculturalDepartment,- is! to. visit the district to superintend the spraying of the potato crops/ Mr. Alienwill leave to-day, and a sprayer of 100 gallonscapacity will be sent with hfm. A- portion onlyof each crop will he sprayed at first to test theefflcacy'of the. work. In many instances it maybe too late to savo tlie crop or be In any waybeneficial. Whore necessary the infected placeswill, be quarantined. Mr. Perry points out thattho only safeguard is spraying properly carriedout. Apnrt from its beneficial effects in regardto the blight, spraying had been found to havethe effect of increasing tho crop.

;DUBBO, Wednesday.—Tlie annual show of the Dubbo

P.A. and 11. Society was commenced today, .the wea-.titer being beautiful and all condition? auspicious. Record entries had been received, nearly all-classes show-ing improvement on last year, particularly light norses,sheep, cattle, poultry, andall tuc industrial, floral/andart sections. Draught horses were weak in numbers,and. savo tho prize-winners, not conspicuousin quality.This, for a district 'in which so much general farming Iis done, is regrettable. The trotter included some of 1the best animals in the State, and the' light horseswereall strong. In sheep, much interest centred in thecontest for the £100 challenge prize for pens of threemerino grxissfed rams. Lost year this was won by F.C. Katcr, and several breeders had determined not tolet him win It outright in the second year of theprize's existence. Competition was very keen, and firstplace was awarded to II. 12/Kater and Son, of- Orange,his namesakebeing next, with R. W. White, of llarbcnVale, and F. E.
