A NATIONAL APPLE SHOW
FRUITGROWERS' PROPOSAL'. Spoaking at the civic reception to the members of the Fruitgrowers' Federation yesterday morning, Mr. A. M. Robertson, Hawke's Bay, tho president of the Federation, said that they intended to try and organise a National Apple Show for New Zealand, and it was proposed to have the first show in Wellington. The display would be composed of sections from the various centres, and a chance would be thus given of showing what the Dominion could produce in the way of apples and other fruits. They also proposed to ask the big manufacturers and traders to exhibit the most up-to-date implements and tools used in the industry. "We get into our own little way," concluded Mr. Robertson, "and we don't know what the.other fellow is doing unless we see his product. There is another thing, wo intend to educate the people of New Zealand into the value of fruit as an article of diet, and let them know that by eating fruit they are studying their health. We will thus be serving a dual purpose—making the people of New Zealand healthier, and increasing our own trade, and so giving ns less cause to look for foreign markets."
