TAURANGA TOPICS
LEMON MARKET IMPROVES The Tauranga Citrus Fruit Association, Ltd., since the starting of operations last March, have sent away 1,600 cases of lemons to various parts of the North and South Islands. They have about 1.000 cases ready to go out for which they have orders. Reports from those handling the lemons are exceedingly promising. The fruit in all cases has given satisfaction, and the demand for it is on the increase. It is estimated that the turnover for this year will exceed 12,000 cases. There will be a very large increase next season, as new groves will be coming into profit. The secretary estimates that they should handle 24,000 cases of lemons next year. The lemons so far have returned good prices and the growers are well satisfied. Prior to the coming of the railway lemons were difficult to market, and it was not i # ommon to see them rotting on the ground. Mr. Robinson, secretary of the Auckland Provincial Farmers’ Union, met members of the Tauranga. Omokoroa and Omanawa branches of the union yesterday. In consequence of the stormy weather the attendance was not large. The matter of better organisation and general working was fully discussed.
