However GTr. Anderson is frank TO
say that We must have better ship

try Is to branch out in the lettuce in

we must have local icing plants for

good q condition as they should for
the long trip east. A crate should

LETTUCE GROWERS ALSO
HAVE THEIR TROUBLES

GIenwood Springs, August 2s.-

Fork and Colorado River areas, where
the crop Wa planted quite extensive
Is thls year. Altogether, IS carloads
have been shipped out OF this tern
tory this year, with many more cars

The Cattle Greek territory shipped
a half car over q week ago and o.
uuE loading The second car and the
crop Is coming In very slowly. there
bong o great deal Of poor lettuce in
that territory. and the waste is very
heavy. The crop Is badly affected
with slime and tip bum. and a consid-
cradle portion Of the heads must be
discarded on account Of going 10 seed
The first shipment from the Cattle
Greek sheds was graded as 4 poor

uncIassihed Prom the Sopris creek
section comes some excellent lettuce
easily grading as No. !.
Apparently there Is much 20 learn
about the growing of this crop, and
It is belize ed that this years grow
cr. .h. try the crop next season will
hc 10 more successful. as they will
have learned much from this years
experience. Some have made the
mistake Of irrigating too much. while
others have not applied water enough.
The men who came here from Cali
forniA and elsewhere To pack the crop
and who have had much experience,
give It as their opinion that the ma
jointly Of the growers planted their
crop at least two weeks too early, in
view Of the weather conditions this
summer, altho the same date might
prove all right another year.
Il is very evident that the plants
require cool weather at the time the
heads are forming ard II is therefore
believed that there is more danger in
planting too early than too late.
What viii be received for the crop is
Of course a matter Of speculation as
yet, as the crop is all marketed on
commission basis.

times change materially in 4 very
