SAMOAN COCOA
BEAN BEING IMPROVED Samoan cocoa which once had a good reputation with merchants, is getting back to old standards, according to Mr. T. W. Brighouse, a planter of Western Samoa, who arrived for a holiday in New Zealand by the Tofua yesterday. Mr. Brighouse plants cocoa and coconuts, and last season he exported cargoes of cocoa beans to Auckland. He said that all the cocoa crop depended to a large extent on the weather, heavy rain often spoiling it. There was every prospect of a good crop this year. The grade of bean was being improved each season.
