non of consequence. AS Il usual thing
the first large shipments are made
about the 2nth of the month. The
acreage III lettuce is about what it was
last fall but there is no comparison
in the crop. Last spring the tanners
lost on their lettuce and il looks like
they are going to have an o2portun-
ity to TCcoup their losses TO somo eN-
tent. As a general thing the farm
erS don't COun much on fall lettuce
but occasionally it gives better returns
than the spring crop. The loss last
spring was attributable to Il Door crop
and also to- the extremely bad express
service. No Improvement has been
made in the express service and no
effort Will be made to get changes
made this fan, but there will be be-
fore the SDrin@ season opens.
Lettuce is now bringing fine prices
and there is but little doubt that the
prices will remain high all of this
month.
More lettuce is shipped from Will
