From Our Own Correspondent.
Rarotonga, June 15.
AN Agricultural Advisory Committee was formed recently with the object of co-operating with the Administration in all matters relating to the fruit trade.
The Committee, which is representative of all interests, consists of the Resident Commissioner, the Director of Agricul ture, a representative of the European planters (Mr. Wigmore), a representative of the local exporters (Mr. McKegg), and two representatives of the native planters (Makea Ariki-Nui and Mr. C. Cowan).
Although the Committee’s powers are purely advisory, it is hoped that so repre sentative a body will by discussion and mutual agreement be able to further the interests of a trade with which all are vitally concerned.
