SALAD VERSUS FRUIT
Sir,—ln the case of pip and stone fruits if one accepts the ordinary view that they are adapted to be eaten by animals, distributing the plants by the dropping of the seeds, it will be readily accepted that the pulp or , flesh will be attractive, healthy and of light nutritive value, iust enough to make eating profitable. The question whether fruits have gained in food value by cultivation seems as yet without an answer. Regarding salads, readers may remember that when H.M.S. Vanguard left South Africa “The Press” had an article on the menu of the Royal Family, and it was emphasised that the King required a daily salad. To add this to our regular diet would be a becoming gesture, and there may still be time this autumn to begin growth when the drought passes.— Yours, etc., JAS. R. WILKINSON. Rangiora, March 19, 1948,
