NEW ZEALAND LEMONS.
PROPOSED SALE IN AUSTRALIA. “PATENTLY ABSURD.” A Sydney paper says: "We published yesterday an interesting paragraph about a New Zealander who is promoting a lemQn-growi.ua enteiu>r.tee in New Zealand. This lemon enthusiast predicts that within comparatively few years the Maori I.W will be exporting the yeillow fruit to Australia, “We ar.e not concerned as to whether the scheme is practicable, but with the interesting fact that the prophetic promoter evidently thinks that there is nothing unreasonable in profitably exporting citrus fruits to Australia. It may, indeed, be perfectly feasible, but, on, the conditions of the Australian area,, climate, and soil the idea should be patently absurd. On the physical facts, Australia should be able to grow enough lemons and other citr.us fruits to cover New Zealand from end* to end, anti it should be as paradoxical to Sjhip citrus fruits westward across the Tasman Sea as it would be to ship ice to the Sojuth Pole.”
