Government Fruit Marketing Wanted By Hastings
[Per Press Association. Copyright. ] HASTINGS, Saturday.
“We know less now than we ever did,” said Mr J. H. Milne, president of the Hawke’s Bay Fruitgrowers’ Association, when the proposed Government control of fruit was discussed at a meeting of the association in Hastings yesterday.
Dissatisfaction with the method by which a referendum of orchardists on the question was taken by the New Zealand Fruitgrowers’ Federation was expressed, and the following resolution passed:— “We deplore the fact that the Federation executive did not act in accordance with a resolution passed at the annual conference, asking the Government to take over the marketing of fruit.”
The opinion was expressed by many growers that there was more in the Federation’s action than was apparent on the surface, and that, as shareholders of the Federation, they should*demand that action be taken.
