Samoa Exports Tomatoes

From Our Own Correspondent

Apia, Aug. 22.

TRIAL shipments of Samoan tomatoes, grown by New Zealand Reparation Estates, have been forwarded to New Zealand by the last “Matua” and “Maui Pomare”, the latter having taken 230 cases. The “Maunganui” (on a cruise) was lo take 1,000 cases for the Auckland mar ket; but, owing to lack of cold storage on the eight days’ voyage, it was too risky to ship the tomatoes and the fruit, already packed, had to be disposed of at the cheap price of 1/- a case to Apia householders.

The Samoan tomatoes are of excellent quality and flavour.
