TIMBER FOR FRUIT CASES.
VIEWS OF GROWERS
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 13,
The view that New Zealand-grown pinus insignis was cut too soon for fruit cases, with consequent economic loss, was expressed at the Fruitgrowers? Conference, and the advisability of importing ease timber was discussed. The president (Mr T. O. Brash) said lie understood that the Marlborough Association, which presented the remit, wished to see the trees mature to prevent economic loss rather than advocate the importation of cases. An amended motion was carried: That while the conference strongly favours retaining the fruit case industry for New Zealand millers, the use of immature trees is deplored.
A committee is to he set up to investigate the best methods of making the charge for cases to apply to the whole of New Zealand. A number of other remits were carried and the conference concluded.
