Rarotonga, June 14.
AS the result of the native fruit growers’ decision last year, to allow the freight reduction of 3d a case to ac crue, there arrived by the last mail steamer 60 tons of fertiliser, bought by the Administration out of the accumulated funds.
The fertiliser will be distributed among growers proportionally to the size of last season’s shipments. It is intended for use on orange trees, but as some speculation is already rife regarding its effect on tomatoes we may yet live to see Raro tonga produce the world’s super fruit —or is it vegetable?
