N.Z. Move To Ban Cook

Islands Tomatoes

AT a conference of the N.Z. Council of Commercial Gardeners, held in Wellington on July 20, Mr. C. E.

Pope (Christchurch) moved that the Gov ernment be asked to prohibit the im portation of Cook Islands tomatoes after September 1 each year.

There was a loss of £20.000 a year on the steamer bringing the tomatoes to the Dominion, Mr. Pope said. Tomatoes were not greatly remunerative to Pacific growers, but the imports seriously affected N.Z. producers, who had established the industry long before tomatoes were im ported from the Cook Islands. He added that “the Islands are full of plant diseases and there is danger of the introduction into New Zealand of such pests as the white ant”.
