NELSON FRUIT CROP
decline in past season EXPORTS TO GREAT BRITAIN [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] NELSON, Tuesday The last shipment of fruit for the United Kingdom for the season was forwarded yesterday. The total for the season is 724,426 cases against 991,729 last year. The drop in the quantity exported is due to this being an off season for orchards. However, the fruit has been marketed in good condition, and Mr. J. H. Brunt, shipping superintendent, anticipates that with suitable* climatic conditions next year's crop in a normal year should exceed the present record. Delicious and Statesman cropped particularly well. The falling off was due mainly to light cropping by Sturmers. Pear exports rose from 39,000 to 45,960 cases.
