I. Fruit and Vegetables. 



There is room for great development in 

 the growing of fruit and vegetables, both in 

 the area devoted tiiereto and in the yield 

 per acre. In the case of some vegetables 

 the supply practically equals the demand, 

 and the increased cultivation of these vege- 

 tables should be avoided, but in general 

 terms some ;^ 7,000,000 worth of fruit and 

 vegetables now imported should be grown 

 within the United Kingdom. Gluts in the 

 fruit market, now so often a source of loss to 

 the growers, are not really due to over-pro- 

 duction, but rather to a want of organization 

 of marketing conditions. In this connection 

 also, subsidiary industries are much needed, 

 such as fruit drying, bottling, etc. 



In districts of small farms there ought to 

 be a great development of hedgerow fruit 

 trees. These are practically non-existent in 

 this country, and yet abroad they prove a 

 very important subsidiary source of revenue. 

 Some districts in France have cherry trees
