In order TO accommodate the
shipping from this port, the We

ing propositions in the country.
The truck lands adjoining We
lasco are noted for their fertility
and truck farmers there are max
ing $500 per acre of cauliflower..
and $500 per week on lettuce is a
very usual crop. Conservatively
stated a man can produce in
cabbage from sIoo to $50
per acre, and $500 to $500
per acre on onions.
Strawberries do wonderfully well,
and many figs and orange orchards
are being set out. The advantage
truck farmers in that section pos
sess is that fertilizer is not neces-
sary and owing to the equitable
seasons they can plant any month
in the year and raise a number
of crops on the same land. A crop
OF head lettuce can be planted and
gathered every six weeks in the
year, and one crop will be about as
good as the others.
