For Export

From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Mar. 16.

EXECUTIVES of the Australian fruit-juice and cordial firm of Cottee visited Wau recently and in

spected the passion-fruit grown here —-some residents believed that it had commercial possibilities.

However, the visiting experts feel that it would be unsuitable for ex port. Apparently in the tropics a higher altitude than Wau enjoys is more suitable for passion-fruit cul

ture. The visitors suggested, how ever, that peanuts should do wel and be profitable.
