FRUIT PRICES
THE GOVERNMENT’S PROPOSALS REJECTED BY HAWKE'S BAY GROWERS (P.A.) HASTINGS, Jan. 8. At one of the largest meetings .of. fruitgrowers ever held in Hawke’s Bay the new scheme proposed by the Government for the handling-of fruit for the 1943-44 season was rejected without dissent. The meeting decided to urge the Minister of Marketing, Mr B. Roberts, to withdraw the scheme and resume the State purchase of pip fruit, giving the growers the advantage of the extra money that the Government was prepared to spend on the scheme rejected by the growers. The meeting, which lasted for nearly three hours, was addressed by Mr A. Brown, of Nelson, who outlined the wage provisions. He condemned the scheme as having nothing in it for the benefit of the individual grower. Mr R. Paynter, a member of the Advisory Committee, presided.
