EXPORT OF FRUIT.

Some time back, an agitation was commenced in Masterton in favour of apple-growing, and it is satisfactory to know that at least one orchard on a fairly large, scale has since been established. In this connection, the following report from the Director of the Orchards and Gardens Division of the Agricultural Department is encouraging:—There is practically a« unlimited demand for apples for export, so that apple growers need have no fear of markets being lacking for the disposal of thencrops. Tho demands this season could not bo supplied—in fact, the shipments made were exceedingly small in proportion to tho orders placed. South America alone made inquiries totalling 70,000 cases; but, unfortunately, growers are not yet quite in a position to contract for 1 such Large quantities. Requests for supplies for tho Homo market are constantly being received, while, as ' pointed cut in former reports, there ! are 'also ceveral other markets as yet pactioally .untouched. The export business at present is but just ] starting.
