The probability that, after the war, America would be a competitor witli England for New Zealand butter was mentioned by Mr. James Prouse at a meeting of dairymen at Levin. Mr. Prouse said there was no question that when peace oame again those factories which catered for American tastes would be able to command a high price. He complained that while butter equal to any that ever came out of Denmark was sent Home in the pre-war days, it was never given a value equal to that of the Danish product. New Zealand had all the natural advantages - virgin soil, and purest grasses and the finest climate - and when these were combined with the highest scientific processes of manufacture, the result could only be a butter that was equal to, if it did not excel, the produce of any, other country.
