- The sweet taste

IT is more than a hun-
dred years since
Japanese mandarin
oranges were first
shipped to Canada,
probably to quell the
pangs of homesickness
of the Japanese com-
munity in what had yet
to become the City of
Vancouver.

Since then Canadians of all
ethnic buckgrounds have
come to look on this seedless,
casy-to-peel fruit as an inte-
gral part of the Christmas and
New Year’s season.

In fact, next: to’ the
Japanese themselves,
Canadians are the largest con-
sumers of fresh mandarin
oranges, importing approxi-
mately half of the one-percent
of the total crop that is sold as
fresh fruit.

Written records of Japan’s

‘early exports of ‘citrus fruit

have been lost, if not in the .

“earthquake of 1923 then dur- .

ries of elderly people engaged .

‘growers and exporters have

of the meuntains facing the
Pacific Ovean.

The location is credited
with giving the Japanese man-
darin its ‘distinct flavour,
though some credit is due to
the efforts of the 200,000
family growers, who constant-

lv strive to improve the quali-

ty of their produce.
Shimizu, in the heart. of
the -orange-growing district,
handles about three-quarters.
of the export crop, with the
remainder loading at Kobe.
The fruit begins to ripen in
October and must be picked
before the end of December,
but it keeps well and in Japan
is available fresh until Marcia.
In the early days exported °
oranges had to endure long...
storm-tossed .voyages : across
the North Pacific. The holds
were humid, and the ride was

rough. At times an entire -

shipload would be spoiled by

‘the time it reached Nor

America — and the exporters
had to bear the cost.

., By the 1930s the Japanese .
were packing the” export

oranges in wooden boxes, and
