LTHOUGH the Mau is continuing its agitation against the Government’s banana scheme, and reported to be demanding the dismissal of an official, it is considered significant, that the Govern ment Produce Inspector has been asked to proceed to Rarotonga, in order to in troduce Samoan methods of banana in spection and grading there. Samoan methods are also followed in Tonga, Niue and Fiji, Owing to the rigid inspection of the fruit in Samoa, Samoan bananas realise better prices in New Zealand and are pre ferred on account of superior packing and quality.
