Mr Moore said growers were paid on delivery making budgeting hard. Prices for other producers jumped 200 to 400 percent. Orchardists asked for more advances but none came. Tasmania produces about 8 million cases yearly while using 4 million. Government did not want continued acquisition though petitions from Western Australia and others urged holding it. The aim was to save an industry that could have been wiped out in wartime. The minister noted seasonal factors and potential acceptance if crops were bumper. Lemmon offered to discuss with Pollard and the board.
