For 200 years lettuce ha. been

some of its varieties form the basis
OF almost every known salad. But,
just as there is nothing more appe-

is there nothing less desirable than
Wilted or ragged looking leaves
For this reason the very frst essen

EXPERIMENTS IN PEAT

Statements have been made that
experiments to determine the practil-
ity Of using Minnesota peat beds as
q source of industrial and domestic
fuel supply are to be conducted in
various parts of the state this sum.
mer. William H. Emmons, director of
the Minnesota geological survey, who
compiled a list of the states largest
peat beds, examined them and esti-
mated their total content, said that,
based on peat units. Minnesota has
peat enough to last the state 1000
years at its present rate of coal con
sumption. The peat can furnish the
heat, but the preparation of it and
methods of using 1t most effectively
are the things to be determined. Peat
has been used as it came from. the
boys in many countries and to some
extent in the United States. Because
of its great bulk, however, it burns
out quickly when used in this form
and peat is wasted. There is an enoI.
NOUS supply of peat hereabouts that
could be used for fuel and act as a
coal conserver.
