LETTUCE FoR MARKt r.

Packing Lettuce For Shipping to Disranl
Markets-Delivery to Home Markets.
A prominent grower of lettuce fol
market has the following to say concern
ing it's packing and shipment in Aneri
can Gardening: From our personal OBJ
servation, and so far as we are able tt
learn from correspondence, we are of tht
opinion that the methods used in pack
ing lettuce for shipping purposes arr
about the same in the different parts o.
The country.
If to be sent any distance, barrels are
most commonly used as package Dur
ing warm weather it becomes necessary
to ventilate them, by means of holes
cut OF bored in the slaves, but in the
winter season, on tho other hand, the
barrels must be SO prepared that frost
will not be likely to enter To effect this
they are lined with newspapers or Other
paper, and if properly handled by the
transportation companies there is sell
dom any loss.
The methods of packing properly nee
essarily differ with the kind of lettuce
grown, whether upright growing sorts
like the Grand Rapids, Or fattened, cab
bage kinds, of the Tennisball habit
Grand Rapids growers, for the most part,
pack in tiers, with the leaves placed
horizontally. From two to four heads
are taken up at one time in the hand
and placed in the barrel, and others are
then put in so as to form rows running
around it. Some shippers think it best
to arrange it SO that the stems will be
covered by the leaves of the next bunch
es, while others place the butts upon the
heads previously put in. If necessary,
one or more heads are added to form a
solid tier Although it does not look as
we'll when opened, the general opinion
seems to be that the lettuce ships fully as
we'll and can be taken out much better
if the butts are placed upon and over
tapping the heads, thus affording ham
die by which they can be taken out
Layer after layer is put in in this way,
until the barrel is full. Papers are then
placed over the top of the barrel, and a
cover Of burlap is put on and held in
place by means of hoop.
For the cabbage sorts the barrel is
prepared in the same way, and the let
tuce is packed in tiers, with the butts
up. 1t can be seen that these varieties
with dattened heads cannot well be
packed in any other way. With this ex-
ception, there is little, if any, difference
in the methods of packing.
When the market is sufficiently near
to admit of the delivery of the lettuce to
the dealers by the grower, each consults
his own convenience Perhaps the most
common packages are boxes about by
8 by foot in depth. These are SO made
that they will nest one above the other
and fit closely in the wagon. Some
growers prefer to use baskets for this
purpose, however, and the fat so called
market baskets answer we'll, although
many use ordinary bushel baskets for
we'll grown Grand Rapids and other tall
kinds.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-For the first
time since the short session OF the Attn
congress in the winter of 1923, con-
gress will enter holiday week Monday
with the intention of sitting through
the season usually devoted to recess.
The occasion for this unusual zeal and
devotion to public interests was Prssi-
dent Cleveland's message on Friday
last, which asked the congress not to
take it's usual respite from
labor at this season of the
year, but to remain and provide
the necessary legislation to relieve the
financial situation of the government.
The house will enter upon this work
probably Monday, through its commit
tees announced on Saturday. The
ways and means committee will meet
at II o'clock and proceed as rapidly as
may be with the consideration and
preparation of bill or bills to meet
the condition which confronts them.
The measure of relief which it is ex.
pected the committee will propose will
include, either in one bill or several,
as may be deemed most expedient,
brief, amendments to the tariff law,
not involving general tariff revision,
such amendments to expire at the end
of thirty months, authority to the sec.
tary of the treasury to issue three
per cent. bond as a popular loan, to
maintain the gold reserve, and for no
other purpose, with proviso that the
redeemed greenbacks shall not be used
to meet current expenses, but be res
tanned as long as necessary as
part of the redemption fund;
authority to issue to the national
banks, circulating notes up to par OF
the bonds deposited as security there
for, and reduce the tax on national
bank circulation: and authority for the
issue of certificates of Indebtedness to
meet temporary deficiency in receipts
until the revenue can be provided. 1t
estimated that these proposed tariff
changes will add from $50, 900, 900 to
S35, ,OOO 600 to the income of the gov.
ernment.
Although there is some criticism of
this scheme from the repu blican side
of the committee. it is likely to mani
fest itself in any other form, and the
proposition will receive the united sup
port of the majority. One sugges.
tion was that the Reed substitute for
the issue of gold bonds, made in the
last congress, when financial schemes
were being considered, should be re-.
ported and passed.
While it is not probable that the
committee will not be ready to report
to the house before Wednesday or
Thursday, there will be no adjourn.
ment for more than day or two at a
time until the proposed relief shall
have been affected. Should this be ac-
complished this week, the house will
probably then indulge in three day
recesses over the new year holiday.
Speaker Reed, with some reluctance,
admitted Sunday that the ways and
means committee would bring in a
tariff bill without unnecessary delay.
He would not say that the Mckinley
schedule on wool would be reported,
but admitted that the article would be
especially provided for
