ORCHARD INSTRUCTOR
THE KERIKERI DISTRICT MR. P. EVERETT APPOINTED [by TELEGRAPH —OWN correspondent] GISBORNE. Friday Advice has been received by Mr. P. Everett, orchard instructor in Gisborne, of his transfer to Kerikeri to take charge of the North Auckland fruit, district. Several hundred acres have been planted in orange and jemon trees at Kerikeri in recent years, making it the largest citrus fruit settlement in New Zealand, and it is on account of Mr. Everett's extensive knowledge of citrus culture that he is to be given control of this important district. Mr. Everett has been in Gisborne for the past eight years and the growing of citrus fruit in the district gave him an opportunity to apply his special knowledge of citrus work to good advantage. He previously had control of the Bay of Plenty district and was in Rotorua for a year, when he was engaged in tobacco culture. «»
