According to an announcement jn 'the Gazette, New Plymouth has been substituted for Wanganui as a grading port for the export of honey. Mr ,E. A. Earp, chief apiary instructor, informed a Dominion representative recently that the change had been made to meet the wishes of the majority of the honey producers of Taranaki. Most of the honey exported from that part of the Dominion came from the neighbourhood of Hawera and the Mount Egmont district. There had been an. extraordinary development in the quality and quantity of Taranaki honey, which ’ was equal to the best produced in the Dominion. Now that. Wanganui was no longer a grading port a few Manawatu producers, possibly as. far north as Feilding, would in future send their honey to Wellington for grading and shipment.
