NELSON FRUIT SHIPMENT PEACHES CONDEMNED.
(BY TELSGKAFH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.) NELSON, This Day. Mr. -Hudson, president of the Fruitgrowers' Association, has received a telegram from Mr. Kirk to the effect that a cable message has been received, stating that the authorities refused to permit landing of peaches — for the reason that an unidentified grub was discovered — being forwarded to Vancouver. It is thought locally that this may be the grub that gets into the stem of certain varieties, and which is very difficult to detect. The greatest care was exercised over tiie shipment. As nothing is said regarding the pears, it is presumed they were landed. The shipment was, approximately, five hundred cases of peaches and two hundred of pears.
