What Is the secret of the unwonted

COLORADO MAN WHO GOT
RICH OPP HEAD LETTUCE
TELLS HOW 1T Il DONE
y. ;. Hurd OF Tabsrnash Give FuII
Details Of How He Made $50 An
Acre.

C0i0Fado's newest farm product
mountain head Isttucs-Which bro.
is iEtrOdIcar. y. :. Hgrd Of Taber-
nash, $50 al acre. has attracted such
aIG-spr ad attention thru 4 story IN
the Denver Post on September IL. that
Ar. HuFd has been swamped with in
inquiries concerning the new crop.
Aftsr answering more than 2 600 in
guiTies regarding the mountain lettuce,
Mr. Hgrd proprietor Of the Happy
Farm. contracted writer's cramp, and
publishes 20 the world the means Of
CIltyatIng this highly profitable crop.
This mountain head lettuce j. the
best the world produces" says Mr..
Hurd- The kind Of ground necessary
20 produce the high altitude lettuce,
carrots. turuips and caaliAower should
be black lUamy s0il. But this lettuce,
like other crops, will grow almost any
where and will yield IN proportion TO
the land and the cultivation.
The earth should be thoroly pull
gcriEed and levelsd before sowing and
must be kept mellow.
Seeding is ~ important factor. /
advise growers not 70 buy the cheapest
.eed. but the best California seed pro-
curabie. Drill in the ground in the
fall or as early In the spring as pos
.Ible from ! Z 20 2 inches deep.
Rows should be from Is 10 20
inches apart. When drilling. use II
possible drill with a brush agitatoT
and a follower wheel. This wheel fol-
lows the opening plow and presses the
earth close TO the seed. The depTcs-
sion made By the wheel acts as bas-
ia for any light rainfall or dew, and
also protects the seed from the dry
ing winds. Use from / = to 2 pounds
of seed 20 the acre.
Thinning Is the next step. When
tho crop has three leaves TO the plant
thin 10 the single plant, i6 or 20 inches
apart. The poorer the soil. the great
cr the distance between plants should
pc. Don't thin closer than this, for
you will only be wasting your ground
and time.
Scientific irrigation is the most
important factor in growing a success
ful crop. There is no crop in growing
which the use of water becomes an
abuse 80 readily as in the irrigation
OF head lettuce and high altitude roots.
"The eNtravagent application OF
water because il is plentiful has be-
q
