FRUIT.
A GLUT IN HAWKE'S BAY. By Telegraph—Press Association. Hastings, Last Night. Fruit in Hawke's Bay this year will be very plentiful. In the course of an interview to-day Mr. Campbell, Goveny ment orchard instructor at Hastings, said that the frost danger -was now past. The peach, nectarine and apricot crops would be far in excess of any previous year. There wits a fair average show of apples, but considerably lighter than last year. Pears and plums were above the average. Owing to the quantity of young fruit on peach and nectarine trees it was important that growers should thin out extensively. In all probability there would be a glutted market in the flush of the season, and competition would be so keen that nothing but the best quality of fruit would realise a satisfactory price. Inferior fruit would scarcely pay for handling. The output would, be so great that unless thinning out was undertaken at once much of the fruit would fail to find a market.
