Interviewed regarding the irir't crop in the Nelson district. Mr .J H Thorp, Orchard Instructor, san’l the fruit generally is developing wed, and with suitable weather conditions the season promises to be an early one, The present indications are for a crop of good-quality fruit for ixpuit, ‘ 'Hie very wet weather in December was of benefit to the trees,” said Mr Thorp, ‘and spraying stocks were replenished. As a result of the heavy rain the apples have become tnor or less generally affected with eye rot. The Jonathan variety appeal’s to be the worst affected. This will probably cause very little loss of crop as the trees in most orchards require thinning, and the defective fruit can be taken off during thinning operations.” Since the wet spell in December several orchards have experienced a rather severe scorch on the weaker Stunner trees, but they are now recovering, and the crop will probably not be detrimentally affected thereby.
