That the Government be approached with a view to establishing, in districts having a surplus of fruit, factories for making fruit juice or cider, was a resolution passed by the Canterbury Fruitgrowers’ Association, reports the "Press.” It was stated by one speaker that the numbbcr of orchards was increasing every year, and that more apples were being grown in Canterbury than could be used. “There's a tremendous number of persons who drink a tremendous lot of beer.” observed Mr T. Armstrong, “and I think that our surplus fruit could be profitably used in the production of cider or fruit juice. Either of these drinks is healthy, and 1 see no reason why, if a cider factory were established in Canterbury, say. it should not be run at as a big a profit as one of the breweries.”
