SHIP 125 CARLOADS LETTUCE FROM THE
 GLENDALE DISTRICT

GLENDALE, March 1.-The end of this week will witness the conclusion of lettuce shipments by carload lots to the eastern markets, by which time a total of approximately 125 carloads will have gone out of the district dur ing the season, including carload ship ments and the hundreds of crates sent out by express and sold in Phoenix.
 Freight shipments of lettuce for the season from Glendale totalled 110 car loads up to Thursday night with a few cars still to go forward, which represents an increase in shipments of more than 100 per cent over the 1919 season, when total of 54 carloads were shipped. While production was heavy, the cash return to growers has not been as satisfactory this season as last, owing to glut of the market by heavy production in Florida, Texas, the Imperial valley and other South ern California points.
 According to market reports, Flor ida had about 10000 acres in lettuce this season, the Imperial Valley an equal amount of acreage, Texas some 5000 acres, and other Southern Cali ifornia and Salt River valley districts an additional 5000 acres.
 It was the Florida crop coming into competition with the other states that held down prices, Florida growers having the advantage of cheap water transportation, being able to ship by boat to New York at much lower than rail costs and not having crate carriage expenses to meet.
 Advices from Florida, however. are to the effect. that the recent killing frosts completely destroyed the bean crop; ruined the tomato crop to an ex- tent of from 50 to 75 per cent, and badly damaged the late lettuce. Glen dale district growers have no such climatic conditions to contend with.
 Ranchers of this district who raise the lettuce crop in mid-winter merely as a fill-in crop, while awaiting the canta1oupe season, are now preparing their ground for cantaloupes, the re- maining lettuce vegetation being ploughed under and the seed bed be- ing prepared for the cantaloupes. & per cent of which crop this season will be devoted to the Honey Dew variety. and the remainder in the standard Salt River valley cantaloupe.
 From. advance estimates it is appar- ent that this seasons cantaloupe acre age will be much heavier than last seasons.
