Winter Cultivation of Lettuce, or Salad
4 Profitable Industry.

The farmers of Eastern Carolina have
probably better chances for diversified
farming than any other country under
the sun This being the case what ex-
cuse can they have for sticking to the
old ruts and trying to make living out
of one crop farm.
We publish below letter from cor
respondent of the Wilmington Star, who
tells about one industry where the profits
are very remunerative.
The correspondent says:
"In the issue of the Star, Jan. 18th,
mention was made of the lettuce or salad
industry of our beighboring farmers and
truckers. Later and more minute inquiry
into the matter and upon consultation
with Mr. Oliver G. Stevens, who is rep
resenting the firm of Sharp Cox Co.,
of Philadelphia, who are heavy receivers
of this article of export from our coun.
try, we learn that this weeks total ship
ment has been rather light, owing to the
failure of this article to mature. Had
weather been favorable for its maturing
no reason or excuse could be assigned for
the defect. Total shipment this past
week, ending Saturday, January rs, were
l3l barrels salad, the average price these
goods were sold by those receiving them,
$475 per barrel. Less expense nets the
grower at least $500, and much of the
earlier shipments were sold at over $6.
While the cultivation of salad is a very
expensive mode of trucking, at the fg>
ures above mentioned, it is very remu-
nerative to the growers. There are in
the neighborhood of Wilmington twenty
five acres now set in salad under cloth :,
it taking in the neighborhood of 10000
yards of cloth to cover the acreage.
While expensive, it is quite remuner-
ative. Where can the farmers raise so
good crop in the winter months as they
nave successfully done this winter with
salad.
The first shipments of salad were made
about December 1st and will continue
until March 18th. Messrs. Martindale,
Horner, Trask, Springer, Mills, Pearsall,
Montford, Jones, Klien, Garrell and Chad
wick are the heaviest growers of this
article. Quite number of smaller ones
too numerous to mention. Messrs
Garrell and Co. have two acres of this
article under cover. A visit to bis place
yesterday showed to us the beds in their
healthy and thriving condition. He will
in few days be cutting daily from
twenty to thirty barrels
There has been so far thousand bar
res of salad shipped from here. averaging
net profit of $3.50 per barrel, making n
total of $4,000 left in and among our
worthy farmers, at the very time when
money is most needed. This is nothing
to what it will be when the season closes;
it will be many times larger.
Mr. Stevens informs US that he does
not look for any decline in price but
rather better and stronger market than
ever at present.
This is the only part of North Carolina
where salad is grown TO any extent.
We predict for our neighboring country
in the future to be the salad oasis of the
South"
