Lettuce in New Orleans

Mrs. G.. T. 7rennan writing in the
Southern Cultivator and Dixie Farmer
says:
The neutrality-suspicious. Of New Or
leans are experts in their business.
They raise, sell at home, and ship to
distant markets the greatest quantities
of vegetables of all kinds which
are of the very best quality. Among
vegetables for the West and North let
tuce is one of the most profitable.
The profits arising from the culture of
lettuce are entirely from shipments
North and West. The Crescent City
consumes immense quantities OF let
tuce, but immense quantities are rails
ed and therefore the prices are low, so
low that gardeners say it would not
pay to raise just for the city markets.
Large shipments are made constantly,
some gardeners keeping them going
all the year. And the kinds for ship
ping are such as head up firm as cab

few outside leaves of each head.
Some few ship in crates, but the usual
method is to fill sugar barrels with
firm heads of lettuce with pieces Of ice
in layers between, the ice broken to
sizes large enough to last in transport
tation but not heavy enough to hruise
the lettuce. Sugar barrels vary in
prices at different times of the year,
and are quoted in the city papers reg
ularly in the trade columns. The bar
rels are headed up with strips to ad-
nit air, and the prices per barrel vary.

Talk on Florida Fruits.

Talk on Florida Fruits. $500
In his address before the annual meet
ing of the American Psychological So
clety at Philadelphia, Mr.. G. L. Taber
of Glen St. Mary, said:
Fruit notes this year from the South,
as from other sections, are almost in
separately connected with the freeze
notes; and, if this brief paper from
Florida has as much to do with freezes
as fruits, it will, perhaps, under the alb
normal conditions that have prevailed,
be pardonable. For, as some of you
have personally experienced and the
rest have doubtless read, we had some
weather down our way last February
the like of which the "oldest inhab-
tant" had never before seen, and, in
common with the fruit growers of a
younger generation, hopes never to
see again; and for three days the or
ange and other subtropical trees
throughout large section of Florida,
stood white robed, stiff and stark, an
apt although isothermally homogeneous
reminder of the "sheeted ghosts" in
Whittier's Snow Bound. .-.. ...
Then when the first great shock was
over, and nature, in kindlier mood,
had freed the trees of their unwonted
load of snow and ice, came the days of
suspense; of eager and yet fearful
watching, to see what the final outcome
was to be. We saw the leaf stem
shrivel and the leaves lose their luster,
and day by day assume lighter color,
and we knew the foliage was gone. But
what of the trees themselves? Would
they survive? Would the orange trees
not banked go to the ground, and
where banked, would they stop at the
bank? We cut through outer bark on
twig and branch and trunk, examined
the inner bark and cambinum layer,
and applied all known tests of sight and
smell and taste, and were finally forced
to accept the fact that the tops were
also gone. Then came the question
whether to cut the trees off at a given
point at or near the ground before the
sap should, by "souring'' carry the di-
viding line between sound and affected
wood lower down, or whether it was
better to let the trees shift for them
selves, until this line of demarcation,
as yet but imaginary, became fully ap-
parent Some of us followed the one
coure aud some the other, and of those
who cut the tops off before this line
of demarcation was fully established,
many were for awhile still left in doubt
as to whether the stumps they had left
represented in reality the foundation
for a future orchard or only the head
stones for their buried hopes.
Now, I would not for a moment
have it understood that all sections of
Florida suffered alike. On the CON
trary, as is but natural, the southern
counties suffered less than the northern
ones, and there are in some of the
southern counties groves that were
practically unhurt, from which good
crops of fruit will be shipped the pres

Ahten is a representative gardener
His grounds are we'll worth visiting
and year by year have grown in ex
tent and constantly improved. His
methods have been financially success
full.
The gardeners say that sowing let
tuce in the summer for the fall croI
is troublesome. Ants are sure to car
~ off the seed if sOwn dry, therefore
the method is to soak them in water
for half an hour and then tie them
up up in pieces of cloth and keep in
water for half hour or so. Then they
are taken out, and the packages put
in cool, damp places until the little
germs sprout. They are never allowed
to dry, but are kept constantly damp
until the sprouting takes place. The
seeds are then taken out of the cloth
and sOwn broadcast over the bed
Ants are vOracious over dry lettuce
seeds, but are not able to carry off
the sprouting ones. Some gardeners
scatter meal over the surface of the
beds after sowing the seeds and COW
ing them to the depth of twice the size
of the seed. The meal keeps the ants
from the seeds, but the objection is
that it calls them to a feast.
The soil is generally enriched with
COW or stable manure and river sand.
Ground that has been put in good Or
der, rich enough to grow vegetables up
till September, may be cleared off and
used for the plant beds without any
more enriching. The young seedlings
when up will need shade through the
middle of hot days, but the cover, of
whatever kind, used for shade ought
to be elevated sufficiently to al
low circulation of air. Morning
and evening sunshine strengthens the
plants. Too much shade wiz weaken
them. Never let them suffer from q
drought. September is sometimes g
dry month, in Which case water regu
larly. Snails are destructive to let
tuce plants. Salt will effectually drive
them away. Strow it around the edges
of the beds and they will not cross it
The rows where the plants are to be
set to finish their growth and head III
ought to be made rich with old ma
nure we'll incorporated with the body
of the soil, and some sand and some
wood ashes help matters consider
ably.
The size the lettuce will probably be
when headed up, regulates the dis
lance apart for the plants. The rows
a foot apart and from seven to ter
inches between the plants is a very
good average. Up till Christmas let
tuce grows out, and the cold frame is
not resorted to until late in December
A wall, house, hedge, or any such pro
tective agency is we'll to have on the
north side where the lettuce grows i1
fall and winter Southern and eastern
exposures are best. The varieties diff
fer essentially in their adaptability tt
the different seasons. The kind the
New Orleans gardeners use for the
fall, winter and early spring is the

The most popular variety in the State
of Louisiana is the Improved Royal
Cabbage. 1t is the best kind to plant
in succession. When the Improved
up, the Royal will be ready for use.
Sow the seeds early and give it a good
chance to supply the market from
March to last of June. The heads are
large, firm and crisp and of a beauti-
full light green. This kind is not in
clined to run to seed, like some others.
White Paris Gas is very popular with
the French people of New Orleans. 1t
heads up in tall, oblong heads, and the
leaves are better tied together with a
fiat soft strip to whiten as they head
Being long the mid-rib is said to be like
celery, crisp, white and tender. AS a
rule, tough, large mid-rib condemns
any kind of lettuce but this kind is
tender and delicious in flavor
From June on till fall, the Perpig-
nan, fine German variety, supplies
the market. 1t stands the summer bet
ter than any other variety.
The Early Cabbage or White Dutch
is a splendid kind for spring use, and
the Drumhead Cabbage for spring and
summer, but they are for home use
and not for shipping.
The quality of the lettuce raised in
New Orleans is unsurpassed. The gar
deners are careful to sprout the seed
for the fall crop and for spring plant
ing, plump sound seeds are chosen.
and in transplanting only the strong
est plants are used. Weak spindlings
are thrown aside. The soil is stirred
frequently. Weeds are not allowed to
grow, nor is the crust ever allowed to
form over the surface of the soil.
Crops may be cut every two months
from the same ground. The plants are
severed just above the soil and the few
outside leaves, if rusty, are cut off.
Up to Christmas the open garden bed
is all that is necessary, but from De-
cember on, cold frames are necessary.
They are not like hotbeds. but are
simply made on the surface, no eXcav-
alton being necessary. The soil is
pounded hard and the manure piled on
| it, allowed to ferment, forked over
several times and finally mixed with
sand and worked into good shape. The
frame may be 10 inches high at the
back or north side and 10, or II on the
south side. This gives the proper
slope to catch the sun. Glass is used,
but tarpaulin is cheaper.
Shut down the lid after watering the
soil and let the weeds sprout. The
heat and moisture will force them
quickly and they can be hoed away,
when there will be but few more to
bother the lettuce, which may be set
in rows and left uncovered unless the
weather is cold and frosty. Uniform
| temperature, ventilation and moisture
will bring the plants to heads rapidly.
Forty to fifty degrees night and day is
good forcing temperature for this eli
mate.
Lettuce is the leading shipping vege-
table for the year around. While

Discussion Of medical ethics ms a-rule
does not greatly concern the layman,
but when a physician claims the right
to kill man who is suffering from an
"1ncurable disease" humanity begins
to prick up Its ears. A weil-known ply
sician has made public announcement
of his belief in the right of a doctor to
kill patient when his medical expert
ence and his knowledge of the allment
satisfy him that there Is no chance of
ultimate recovery. This physician not
only claims this right, but has been
exercising 1t to the best of his ability
for many years. He admits that he has
produced death by chloroform in many
cases Of ''incurable patients" during
his practice, which has extended over
a period Of thirty-five years. In defend
ing this practice he says: "My position
has not been changed by the criticisms
or the clergy and some brother physi-
clans. l still think, and always shall,
that If a patient is suffering from an
tncurable disease and he wants relief
-AOAA A'S hiiSSly IL phy olCIull Is UOluR II
deed Of mercy If he helps him to end
his life" The discussion was started
by paper read before the American
Social Science Association at Saratoga
by Judge Simeon e. Baldwin, Presi-
dent of the American Bar Association.
The Judge threw ethics to the winds
and vigorously maintained that a man
had right to claim the assistance of
his physician in Kidding himself of this
mortal coil" when it had been decreed
that his disease was incurable. The
paper has provoked much adverse criti-
clSm, but none as severe as It would
seem to deserve. The PRONUNCIATION of
such Ideas Is reprehensible and does So
clety ncalculable harm in that 1t tends
10 lower the popular estimate Of the
sacredness Of human life. Life is not
such tlffiing thing that the cords that
bind us to human obligation are to be
snapped asunder whenever physician.
who Is only fallible human being, de-
cides that an ailment Is incurable. The
physician should not be allowed to
supersede the Almighty in this matter,
neither should he be above and beyond
the law Of the State. A man is entitled
to all the aids that medical science can
give to prolong life until finally sum,
moned by the silent messenger.

"Ikey,' says I, as he was ready to go,

his adventures. He got off at Albany
and was Juggling his grip uptown, when
a boy steps up and says:
Hello, Senator! Glad to see you. I'll
carry that grip and make no charge
1T tickled Ikey to be taken for a SEN
ator, and 1t tickled him to save dime,
but the boy got away with the grip,
and Ikey was hung up for two days
until the police found 1t. At Rochester,
as he was standing around the station,
