“I can assure you that very soon there will be no need to import eitrus fruit into New Zealand. Tauranga fruit is now known as the best that can be produced, and New Zealanders are going to exercise their right to choose the best.” This statement was made by Mr B. C. Bobbins, secretary of the Tauranga Chamber of Commerce, to members of the commerce train party after they had been shown some of the lemon groves of Tauranga. The speaker also predicted a steady growth in the other primary industries of the Bay of Plenty, and thanked the officials of the Bailway Department for the helpful way in which they had treated the district. “We believe,” he added, “that both you and we have tapped resources which 'fill not only, cause [ great growth'ih this district, but will I also produce much greater revenue for the railways of New Zealand. ”
