FALSE STATEMENTS
S. AUSTRALIAN ORANGES
Quality and Price Criticised
MONOPOLY IN N.Z. MARKET
(By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) (Received 14, 12.30 p.m.) ADELAIDE, Sept. 14.
“It is regrettable that certain interests have seen fit to circulate unfounded reports of the quality and price of South. Australian oranges,’’ said the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Blesing, following a deputation of growers who desired to contradict statements which have been made in New Zealand.
Mr. Blesing said that South Australia was free from the Mediterranean fly. It was incorrect to say that the South Australian monopoly of the export of oranges to New Zealand made them excessively dear. “Oranges can only enter New Zealand up to the quota fixed by tho New Zealand Government and there must be some central control over there,’’ he said. “All growers can ship on a pro rata basis according to their production, provided the fruit is of the high quality needed for’ export.’’
