SUPPLIES OF ORANGES
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MINISTER’S COMMENTS Press Association-rßy Telegraph—Copyright. ADELAIDE. September 14. (Received September 14, at 1.15 p.m.) “It is regrettable that certain interests see fit to circulate unfounded reports of the quality and price of South Australian oranges,” said the Minister of Agriculture (Mr Blesing) following the reception of a deputation of growers, who desired to contradict statements which had been made in New Zealand. Mr Blesing said that South Australia was free from the Mediterranean fly. “It is incorrect to say that the South Australian monopoly of the export of oranges to New' Zealand has made them excessively dear. Oranges can only enter New Zealand up to the quota fixed by the New Zealand Government, and there must be some central control over there. AH growers can ship on a pro rata basis nee.ording to their production, provided the fruit ol the high quality needed for export.'''
