EXPERIMENTS are being made in the cultivation of grapefruit and the op ening of a market for it in New Zea land. Citrus fruits thrive in Samoa.

Mr. A. R. Cobcroft recently sent a trial shipment to N.Z., and if it is successful it will be followed by consignments from other planters. The New Zealand Re paration Estates have a considerable area under citrus fruits.

A shipment of 10 pure-bred Zebu bulls and 40 heifers recently arrived in Fiji from Texas, U.S.A., for the Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Ltd.
