POMONA, CAL, April 12.-The fact that
grape fruit. otherwise known as the Po-
melo or Shaddock, has been bringing
about $40 box in the Eastern market for
several weeks, and has not brought less
than SS box this season, has made fruit
growers in this region eager to plant
orchards of grape fruit. There is. there
fore, ten times more planting OF this
veriety OF fruit than ever before, while
the acreage set to orange and lemon
groves has not been so small in nine ears
as it is this season. Several persons who
have small tracts planted to grape fruit
have made as much as SIS per tree this
season. At that rate one acre of grape
fruit would be worth nearly $1,000 this
