INTERCOLONIAL FRUIT CONFERENCE.
[united pbess association.] Wellington, May 7, At the Intercolonial Fruifc Conference this afternoon during a discussion on the papers relating to the export of fruits, Mr Sissons, (Christchurch), intimated that if the Government were willing to take charge of an experimental shipment for England, Canterbury growers would willingly supply the fruit. Mr Ritchie, Secretary of the De. partment of Agriculture, said, on behalf of the Minister of Agriculture, he was almost sure the Government would be willing to undertake this, but when an experimental shipment had been mooted on previous occasions the amount of fruit offered was so small that it would not warrant shipping companies iv preparing proper cool chambers for its carriage. Mr Blackmore, the Government pomologist, said if it was intended to make an experimental shipment at least 2000 cases should be provided.
