Landry Lettuce Brings $500
Hamper in Chicago.

T. IILE iEAhEDON-fL i AZ -.-A@A'
TAIYs HIGHEST PRICE on
MARKET THIS SEASON.
llouma Courier.
Mr. J p. Landry, of Upper Ter
rebouue, enjoys the satisfaction OF
having obtained the highest price
for Terrsbouno lettuce Oh the
Chicago market. j shipment OF
Io5 hampers were sold by Welch
and WEIGH, produce merchants OF
Chicago, the first part of this week
at exceedingly attractive figure OF
Sl.6O per hamper. No sooner was
the Gale made than telegram was
sent by Messrs. WEIGH and WEIGH
to the secretary of the Ierrebonne
Farmers Association advising him
of The price at which the lettuce
was sold. That shipment OF lee
tuce brought the highest price OF
the season Oh the Chicago market,
aud no man is happier as result
of the successful sale than Mr.. \.
Z. Hacker, secretary Of the Asso-
citation, who advised the farm srs
to plant lettuce for winter ship
ments.
Whom all charges are paid, such
as freight ond commission, etc.
the net price per hamper will be
one dollar.
This being the first year that
Terrsbonne farmers have planted
lettuce as q market crop, there was
some loss in the crop due to the
failure 10 some of the farmers tc
cut their lettuce at the right time
The experience of this year has
taught them the best way of rals
ing and handling lettuce for tbs
market, and future crops will nc
doubt be mark eted with less loss
With net gain of ninety cents Il
one dollar per hamper, it woulc
seem that there is a fortune to bt
made in lettuce raising, when one
realizes that from eight hundred
to thousand hampers can b'
raised on an aero of land.
