MARKETING OF PRODUCE
fruit and vegetables. POTATO GRADING ADVOCATED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Monday. At a gathering of fruit retailers loday the subject of conditions under which the marketing of fruit and vegetables takes place was discussed at some length. Several of those present expressed the view that the retailers’ representative who recently interviewed the Hon. G. W. Forbes (Minister of Agriculture) on' the question, had no mandate to criticise the markets inspector of the Agriculture Department. The general opinion was that the inspector did his duty as efficiently as possible, and was not responsible for any of the unsatisfactory features of the present state of affairs “If anyone’ is to blame,” said one speaker, * “it is the retailers themselves. What is wanted is closer cooperation between retailers and the inspector.” It was considered that potatoes, cabbages and cauliflowers should be graded in the same way as apples.
