Lettuce Grown on Field Scale.

Lettuce is being grown on field
scale in the Imperial and Salt River
valleys of California, fields Of from
80 to 40 acres being not extraordinary.
At the height Of the production season
January and February-it is not un.
common for 26 carloads Of lettuce
day to be shipped to the middle west
ern and eastern market. This lettuce,
grown under irrigation, is produced by
hand labor and is OF extra fine quality.
The industry was developed ON COM
mercial basis about three years ago,
and during the last two years has
been one of the leading agricultural
occupations Of the state. These local
tiles also produce carrots, peas. cauli-
flower and table beans on less ex-

LOCK and DAM
BEACH CANAL
ISAUTHORIZED
OBJECT OF MEASURE is UNDER
STOOD TO BE INTENDED TO
BENEFIT GLADES DRAINAGE
DISTRICT.

Tallahassee, May 27.-Representative
Bunker's house bill providing for the
building of a lock and dam in the
Palm Beach canal outside of the Ever
glades Drainage district for navigation
purposese was passed by the senate
after it had been amended to give the
authority to the Everglades drainage
commissioners instead of the trustees
of the internal Improvement fund. The
personnel of these two for the con-
struction of the lock from taxes col
lected in the drainage district instead
of from funds of the entire state OF
Florida, as provided for in the original
measure The bill now goes gack to
the house for concurrence in the
amendments
Senator Hughlett stated that the
canal itself had not been constructed
wholly within the Everglades Drain
age district, that the board now has
authority to erect it within the dis
trict, but the dam at the point named
in the bill will be of more value than
if located elsewhere.
He declared that anything to make
the Everglade lands more accessible TO
settlers would promote the drainage
work. and it was agreed that Florida
was obligated to drain the Everglades
and otherwise improve the lands.
Senator Johnson favored the bill be-
cause he said it seemed to him that
the question involved was only a mat
ter of locating the lock where it would
do the greatest good for the largest
numbers. He declared that the dam and
lock had to be built somewhere. be-
cause it was just snecessary to
keep certain amount OF water in the
Everglades as it was to drain some
of it out. Personally" he said, Il
will sell my interest in what l ever
expect to get out OF the Everglades for
rs cents, but / would like TO see my
county get something out of them
eventually.
Senator Singletary opposed the
measures as this the whole people of
Florida would never get thing out OF
their vast possessions in South Flor
ida There was another bill pending. he
said, to give Miami a water supply
at the expense of the state. ItNwas
things like this he declared, that re-
suited in senate bill No Il, which is
called the Singletary bill. now before
the house. Other bills, local and
general" he stained. would always
manage to take it out of the treasury
just as fact as any money was put
there for the school fund and the
general benefit of Florida.
The bill might have been killed
while the senator's were under the
spell of Senator Singletary's oratory.
but the time for the special order ap-
rived, and the tick bill was taken up.
When the lock and dam measure was
returned to a short while later, 1t was
piaced back on second reading for the
purpose of amendment amended as
above mentioned, was put on third
reading and final passage under waiver
of the rules, and passed.

ADIEu TO FRANCE.

BY Ord. SGT. Harry 3. Winters,
u. s. Army.
Now that the job is finished
Now that our work is done
Now that we have licked old Kaiser
Bill.
And put him on the run.
We are leaving for the United States
The land we love so well
But we will never forget those battle
fields
Where many a conrad fell
When it seemed that France must
fail
Her freedom to regain
The free-b born sons of Uncle Sam
Then joined in, the little game.
The Kaiser and his worthless sons
Then laughed with rare delight
And sent word to their armies
That the Americans could not fight
He tried in vain with submarines
Our transports to delay
We came by the thousands just the
Our debt to you to pay.
After few weeks of training
We were placed upon the line
We met the Boch hand to hand
And beat them every time.
We will never forgNt that awful hell
That ragged upon the Marine
1t was there they found that we could
fight
And fear in them were born
Hindenburg then tackled US
With many dirty trick
But before a week was finished
He returned to Berlin sick.
They raked us with machine guns
With liquid fire too
They drenched our lines with toxic
gas
Foch and Pershing the order gave
That the Germans could not pass
And it soon sunk into their rumsoak-
ed heads
That they were whipped at last.
They cried for peace we granted it
And now they cry for bread
There is many a mother in the states
who cries for her hero dead.
Their noble Kaiser has pulled his
freight
But there will come day
When for the many deaths he has
caused
An awful price he win pay.
You need not fear on. noble Frapce
