IMMATURE TIMBER
MAKING FRUIT CASES CONFERENCE OF GROWERS [BV TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION | WELLINGTON, Saturday The view that New Zealand-grown pin us insignis was cut too soon for fruit cases, with consequent economic loss, was expressed at a conference of fruitgrowers, and the advisability of importing case timber was discussed. The president, Mr. T. C. Brash, said ho understood that the Marlborough association, which presented the remit, wished to see trees mature to prevent economic loss rather than to advocate the importation of cases. An amended motion was carried agreeing with the view that while the conference strongly favoured retaining the fruit case industry for New Zealand millers, the use of immature trees was deplored. A committee is to be set np to investigate the best methods of making the charge for cases apply to the whole of New Zealand. A number of other remits were carried and the conference has concluded.
