Fiji Pineapples
THE pineapple industry of Fiji is taking a new lease of life, and yet may flourish.
It was reported by the Fiji Times early in February that, by the Niagara and the following steamer, Mr. McCown, of the Wai-ni-Loka cannery, Ovalau, would ship 1,000 cases of pineapple crush to Canada, where it will be used in the manufacture of various commodities. Mr. McCown has a very up-to-date plant and is even manu facturing his own tins.
An effort to establish pineapple produc tion and canning on a big scale was made in Fiji in 1930-32, but the depression killed the enterprise. There now should be a good chance to revive it.
