OTAGO FRUIT CROP
Central Otago' is evidently going to have a splendid fruit harvest this season.. Reports just to hand say that the two days following the splendid rains have been so general throughout the district have had a', marvellous effect on. vegetation. The-areas under lucerne will give very heavy cuttings in tho course of a week or so. Olio grower remarks:—"The apple trees are a magnificent sight with their bloom, especially the Cos's Orange and Cleopatra. These varieties • will require heavy thinning, as it would bo impossible for the trees to carry tho loads tlioy aro sure' to set. Almond trees have the fruit so thick on tho branches that it has the appearance of bllliclios of grapes. Tears, peaches, cherries, etc., will also yield heavy crops. Evidently the trees will make up for. the set-back they_ received last year. Tlio recent frost did nothing more than thin out the very heavily ladeu branches of the apricots; this will savo the growers a great deal of time in the- busiest part of the season."
