By Mr. Calvert :

Q. Is it a mistake to make cheese too early in the season?

A. I took the liberty of giving an interview to the press last week on that
subject. One' of the greatest mistakes dairymen could make this year would be to
open cheese factories in April or May. I am of opinion that they should hold off
till after May, and make butter, raise pigs and calves. They would get more money
for their cheese than if they started the factories earlier.
By Mr. MacLaren :

Q. How long would you have the factories closed in that case?
A. We should keep cheese factories closed from the middle of October to the
end of April as a rule.
By Mr. Stenson :

Q. What is the proportion of cheese made in Quebec?

A. I believe now that the quantity made in Quebec is a little larger than the
quantity made in Ontario.
By Mr. MacLaren :

Q. That is within recent years?

A. Within the last four years, largely. I have made an examination of that in
this way: I take the total exports from Canada, then I take the statistics of Ontario,
which are pretty accurate. I take off the maritime provinces product and credit
Quebec with the balance. In that way I find that Quebec turns out a little more
than Ontario.
Q. We have better cheese factories?
A. Oh, yes, bigger ones.
