This was a ser- ious problem for the local nlell connected ‘witll the industry and one they ‘should look l-lllto fully. As fair as grading was concerned the system in- vogue ‘here ‘was not completely satisfactory from a practical etarwlpoint- While the Island cheese and butter makers could manufacture a good product they were not able ‘to get it on the market as quickly as might de de-
