Fruit Growing Industry

The spring season of 1903 will be memorable as being the best experienced in the South Island for many years, and as being in marked contrast to the weather which generally prevails at that time of the year. Mr J. C. Blpxkmpre, Government pomologist, who ha/s received reports from all parts of the South fcisftd, states that the indications of a very ljoHntiful yield of fruit are extremely bright. The weather in all the districts reported upon by Mr Blackmoro has up to the present been most favourable to the free setting of blossoms on the fruit trees, bcin{J warm and dry, with an absence of frost and high winds. Unless frosts intervene—an unlikely happening at this late stager of the year—a record crop of all fruits may be expected, especially in the coastal districts, where the almost continuous rainfall has of late years been unfavourable to the free setting of the fruit. Mr Blackmore is in hopes that the surplus yield this season will lead to the establishment of several canning and preserving factories, The Department has been endeavouring to so increase the output to such an extent that the canning industry can be started and developed on sound commercial lines. Reports regarding the small fruit crop in the Nelson district indicate that the season will be a Tery parly one.
