from the success which a number of pioneers in this line have mot, the fruit has a promising future. At the moment the fruit is grown without much care or knowledge, a clearing being made on the hill side and the plants stuck in rows. The result of this unscientific method of production is that the fruit seldom reaches perfection and is hardly suitable for canning pur poses. On the other hand, in cases where pineapples have been grown in suitable areas and carefully fer- tilised soil, the results have been extraordinarily good, the fruit com- paring not unfavourably as regards size and Aavour with the Malayan variety. Of course, owing to the changeability of this climate, the Inek of continuous tropical condi- tions and the poverty of the boil, locally grown pineapples' will never be able to compete with those grown in Hawaii and other parts of the Pacific. Yet the fruit produced on local hillsides is by no means lacking in good qualities and is commercially valuable, if not for foreign export, then at least for local and Chinese consumption. In the first place, it should be possible, to produce and can pineapples in this Colony at considerable lower

boor drinkers. nevertheless a wholesome fruit and, owing to the firmness of the flesh, is extremely suitable for canning and preserving. At present there is little co-operation between the fow pineapple growers and the canning industry, since the latter prefers to deal with commodities which have an assured sale, such as pickles, fish, lichees, pears and other fruits, rather than risk the experiment of a new and untried line. We feal sure, however, that once the canning of local pineapples has been tried it will meet with considerable success provided the price is suitable for the local market. In view of the potential importance of this indus- try, it would be worth while for the Government to investigate more thoroughly the question of pine apple production and thus to dis cover whether a variety could not be produced which would be likely to create a demand in a wider market then at present. Pineapple growing is one of the lebat, expen sive industries and for those possessing a little capital and in no hurry for quick profita, it offers encouraging prospects.
