FRUIT SUPPLIES.
MARKETING DIFFICULTIES. (B.y Telegraph.—Special to Standard.) W'EliLlNiilON, March 14. Opposition members took great interest in a question by Mr C. L. Cullen (Hawke’s Bay) to the Minister of Agriculture in the • House ,of Representatives yesterday afternoon. “More control,” said one of these membei*6 after Mr Cullen had asked whether, in view of the fact that the Government is responsible for the marketing of our entire apple and pear crop, the Minister, in fairness to tho Internal Marketing Department and growers alike would insist on further planting of pip-fruit trees being subjected to departmental license. “While it is true,” added Mr Cullen, “that there is a growing demand lor canning peaches, there already exists a sufficiently large supply of. pipfruit, especially apples, to meet both the export and local markets even in normal times, and further indiscriminate planting of apple trees will simply add to the difficulties of the department and the growers.”
