ENGLISH CANNED FRUIT
FLOURISHING INDUSTRY (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, July 19. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture (Earl de la Warr) referred in a speech to the rapid expansion since 1926 of the English fruit-canning industry, which was due in part to the great change in the public taste for canned goods. The consumption of canned fruit, ho said, had increased fourfold since 1 914 to about 3,500,000 cwt per annum, of which one-seventh was home-produced. _ Of tho. imported supplies, chiefly pineapples, peaches, and pears, only about 4 per cent, competed directly with English canned fruits. Eighty factories for calming fruit and vegetables had been established in England and Wales.
