Context added by this archive
Three hundred thousand boxes, in a small paper in the California citrus belt, where readers knew exactly what that number meant because it was their own business. The headline treats Jaffa as a rival growing region with a technique worth reporting — oranges grafted on lemon stock.
Fifteen years later Brandeis would cite the same trade as proof the country would repay settlement (CP-1916-001).
