APPLES FOR EXPORT.
THE DBPAETiIENT'S PROPOSALS. At A meeting of the' Lower Moutere Fruitgrowers': Association, tho State Director . of. Orchards . (Mr. Kir];) .delivered, an address in explanation of what the Department intended doing in tho wajof inspecting the applep for the export shipments. If necessary officials would be. drawn, from other districts, and .a fair percentage of fruit would be examined from each brand. If. it was lacking in quality or packing that particular lot would not receive the Government stamp and the fruit would go forward .without, the. Government guarantee and" at' tho risk' of' the- shipper; Wh'ero'-possible the inspectors would "insist on the"'fruit being repacked, and providing the,quality was 'right" it would -then be 'stamped.
• Some fruitgrowers in Lower Moutere consider it would be better to have packing depots in. every district than one central uegot ; -as at present, because the 'fruit in an" unpacked state suffers in tho journeys over --: bad roads to-the central store.;
