UMBRELLAS FOR CURRANTS.
The Currant Office of Athens wants seven million yards of Lancashire cloth. As England’s chief import from Greece consists of currants it seems a good idea that English cloth should be used to protect the bushes from rain when the fruit is getting ripe. Greece produced over 180,000 tons of currants last year, and the hundreds of growers have previously each bought their own material. Now one buyer is to act for them all.
Lancashire obtained the order in face of keen competition from other countries. Delivery is to be made In January 1935, in time for next season’s crop, and will be divided among several manufacturers. Soon, when we are enjoying currant cakes, we shall be able to think that the bringing of the currants to perfection meant employment for many Lancashire clothworkers.
