APPLE SEASON
EXPORTS FROM NELSON
(By Telegraph.—Press -Association.) ■ : : ~ NELSON/This Day. '' , The last, shipment of fruit for th« United Kingdom was forwarded yesterday. The total for the season is 724,426 eases, as against 991,729 last year. The drop is due to this being an off season. The orchards, however, are in good condition, and Mr.'J. H. Brunt, shipping supervisor, anticipates that with suitable climatic conditions next year's crop, in a "on" year, should exceed the present record. Delicious and Statesman varieties cropped particularly well. The falling off was due mainly to light cropping, by Stunners. The pear exports rose from 39,000 to 45,960 cases. , •..;.;
