“Generally speaking the'grading and packing of apples was good, but a big weakness was that many growers did not brand their cases distinctly,” said Mr B. G. Goodwin, Government orchard instructor, at a meeting of the Canterbury Fruitgrowers’ Association on Saturday evening, when asked for his opinion on the methods ,of handling fruit for export. In many cases the growers’ registration number was not stamped on plainly, said Mr Goodwin, and after handling it became obliterated. When the cases arrived at an overseas destination, there was nothing to show where sonic had come from and who sent them. It was only after trouble that the information could be ascertained.
