IMMATURE FRUIT
PROTECTION OF PUBLIC. DECISION OF GROWERS' CONFERENCE. (By Telegraph—Press Associa‘’on.) WELLINGTON, This Day. | The fruitgrowers’ conference decided to recommend that it be an offence to oiler immature dessert fruit to the public unless advertised as such. Mr Dallas, director of horticulture said that some growers did pick fruit earlier than they srfould and the Department would endeavour as far as practicable to warn growers against the practice. He said the department did not like to introduce picking dates. If the Government purchased fruit no doubt it would establish such dates, but until the department knew what was going to be done it did not. propose to do anything in this direction. Delegates suggested that the public could be warned against buying certain varieties before certain dates. There was no doubt that there was a tendency to rush the market with lines that were popular.
