lemons used in the United States"
The same authority informs us that
from $4,000 to $4,000 cars of lemons
are consumed annually in the country.
and that more than so per cent Of this
supply now comes from Sicily.
The foreign product finds it's big
market in the east, but the Califor-
mans hope to cut into the trade there
with the help of low freight rates and
high tariff rates. The railroads pro-
posed an advance; the growers de-
clared that they were trying to alb
sorb the tariff increase. and hence the
legal controversy to which we have
refererd. 81

A FEW WORDS ABOUT LEMONS

The duty paid on lemons since 1898
exceeds $4,000 900
10 escape the duty importers are
said to have swindled the government
out of millions through fraudulent re-
bate allowances on shipments of fruit
reported as decayed or unfit for mar
ket.
Judge Vandeventer, in the United
States circuit court at st. Paul. has
enjoined the interstate commerce COM
mission from putting into effect a re
duced- rate on lemons from Pacific to
Atlantic coast points.
The Aldrich- Payne tariff law places
a duty of ~ cents per pound on
lemons in bulk or packages; and we
pass from the news notes of the day
to the meditation of the lemon grow
ers. The Los Angeles correspondent
of the Pacific Rural Press. who keeps
in touch with the growers. says:
The increase in the tariff on Sicily
lemons from 81 per hundred ponds
has given an impetus to the Califor-
mia lemon industry, and we may rea-
sonably trust that inside Of the next
ten years. provided that there is no
decrease in the duty. California will
be supplying practically all of the
