FRUIT PAYMENT SYSTEM LIMITED ASSISTANCE (By Telegraph.—special to Times) HASTINGS, Thursday The basis of payment which operated in the first year of tne State control of fruit marketing is likely to be altered next season, said Mr D. S. McLeod, Hastings member of the deputation of fruitgrowers which met the Minister of Marketing, the Hon. W. Nash, last week. Mr McLeod said Mr Nash had expressed. the opinion that it was not right that growers with incomes of £IOOO or more should receive any assistance at the expense of the taxpayers. The Minister was quite definite that some new basis would have to be found to assist the industry in the coming season. It simply meant, said Mr McLeod, that every grower would not be assisted during the coming season.
