FRUIT GRADING WANTED
STANDARDISING IS DESIRABLE. GROWERS’ CONFERENCE OPINION.' By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington Sept. 13. Tire desirability of some form of compulsory Dominion standardisation of fruit for the local markets was agreed upon almost unanimously by the Fruitgrowers’ Federation Conference, and it was decided to wait on the Minister of Agriculture to ask for legislation to meet the views of the growers.
A suggestion was made that- there should be three standard grades of apples, pears and citrus fruit, and that all inferior fruit, provided it was fit for human consumption should be . appropriately marked. The conference decided to arrange a conference between representatives of the Fruit Brokers’ Federation, and a committee of the growers with a view to devising ways and means of preventing the sale of apples ana pears on the local markets at ruinous prices.
