LETTUCE EXPERIMENTS.
How the Vegetable Can BE Grown In
doors at All Seasons of
the Year.

Lettuce in the vicinity of large cities
is sold by the pound and the point is to
raise as many pounds as possible per
square foot of bench space. The In
diana experiment station, TO determine
the best mode of raising lettuce in the
greenhouse, inaugurated series of let
tuce experiments. A bench was set
with plants, one portion six inches
apart each way and another portion
three inches. Both were cut when the
thicker setting was matured enough
for marketing and the thinner setting
still showed chances for further i'm
provement. Contrary to expectations,
it was found that the thicker setting
gave the heavier yield, being 20 ounces
to the square foot, against IL ounces
for the thin setting, gain of over 80
per cent. The saving in time for grow
ing the crop and the increased yield
are both in favor of the thicker setting

BENCH FOR sUB-IRRIcATING.

time plunge the pots into the bench
with their rims a half inch below the
surface soil. In this way the roots are
disturbed but once and u ball of matted
roots and soil is retained when the let
tuce is sent to market, insuring its per-
feet condition for a longer period. Two
crops were grown in this manner and
so far as any effect on the lettuce could
be traced, the results were in favor of
the ordinary method of shifting rather
than retaining the pots, which is also
in accord with what is known regard
ing the early handling of other crops.
To test the value of subwatering, a
bench was arranged four inches deeper
than would otherwise be necessary,
and over the bottom and three inches
up the side it was lined with zinc. The
zinc pan is closely filled with ordinary
soft brick (c) set on edge. These first
had the lower angles Clipped off, so
that there were small open spaces at
the bottom where the bricks came to-
gether. A tube was passed along the
side of the bench, curved around I'M
derneath, and coming up through the
bottom was carefully soldered on.
The bench is then filed with soil over
the brick. The water is run in thr ough
the tube and quickly distributes itself
over the bottom. 1t is gradually alb
sorbed by the brick and slowly passes
up to the soil above. The gauge (a)
shows the depth of water in the zinc
pans at all times. Water is introduced
through the tube (b).
The results from this method of sub
watering have been more satisfactory
than was hoped for. 1t has been used
for crops of lettuce and beans. The
theoretical advantages have been more
than fulfilled in practice. 1t is so serv-
iceable that the station has no hesita-
ton in saying that for some crops in
particular it will be found of the great
est advantage and profit. The extra
cost of preparing the benches, about
10 cents per square foot, is consider
able. but the increased yield and better
crops will speedily balance the account.
The arrangement is shown in the ac-
companying engraving. - American
Agriculturist.
