FRUIT CHEAP TO-DAY
RUBBISH AT WELLINGTON "People can’t complain of not being able to buy cheap fruit,” said a member of the Auckland Provincial Fruitgrowers’ Association to-day. Either poor quality was grown, or it was produced cheaply,” he added. The Wellington fruit market was referred to in very uncomplimentary terms by a Grey town grower, who said: “It is flooded with all the rubbish of New Zealand,” Pie added, he knew of one orchard which had 7,000 benzine cases ul rejects stacked out in the open. That was a disgrace to the industry and was bringing the price down. Good fruit ran hand in hand with compulsory standardisation, urged another grower. Comment was made on the fact that iruit was being supplied to only onethird the population of Taranaki.
