Messrs. blackburn & Willet finished
gathering and shipping a crop of let
tuce about three weeks ago that
brought them a round sum of five
thousand dollars in cold cash.
Since the lettuce was shipped the
same land has been prepared for GU
cumbers and the plants or vines are
now growing rapidly. With compar-
atively good yield and prices the GU
cumbers r expected to sell for al
most as much as the crop of lettuce.
The cucumber crop will be marketed
in about sixty days, and the soil will
then be allowed to rest until late in
the fall when another crop of lettuce
will be started.
