FROST IN NORTH
Hardship To Growers
(N.Z. Press Association) HASTINGS, Nov. 12. Last Thursday’s frost will cost Hawke’s Bay a good deal, not only in terms of hard cash but in personal hardship. Already orchardists have had to pay their staffs off, and will not recruit the usual amount of labour later in the season.
