FIELDHAN ISSUES IN
STRJCTIONS On HEAD
LETTUCE CULTURE
lBy n. L Blugcr, Fieldman.)

tBy h L BEHgcT, Fleldman-l
When the lettuce has formed head
and has attained much size the cult
sation should b. rather light Tha;
. b., the ground shOIld not be stirred
deep enough close 10 the plant, tha,
the roots wiil be damaged. Ligh;
r1ltlva-iUnE will be sufficient and VII
aud IN forcing the lettuce 20 head
much more quickly ard at the san
time produces a better quality Of
lettuce.
Tests have been made by ditferen,
growers and the concensus Of opiniou
seems TO be- that irrigation just at tke
time when the lettuce Is heading ou,
nicely, is detrimental, ~ il holds tn
plant back and produces a soft head
which above all things is TO be avoid
ed Careful cultivation Is worth d
great deal more At this time than ir-
rigation-
When lettuce begin 20 head il re
uuires the closest possible observation
as there are always a few heads tina;
ripen before the bulk OF the crop
comes on. These are, during ordin-
ary seasons, yery good heads and IL
there are enough 20 make up a crate
or two, II will pay the grower to cut
them and bring them in for shipment
When heads are ready TO cut they
change color from the general dark
green that the plant has been since il
came up 20 a greenish yellow or a
very light green and some of the
larger mature heads take on a color
almost as light as mature cabbage
When you test the solidity of a
head do not pinch the top but get
your fingers down as far as possible
toward the lower end of the stalk
and you will be surprised TO find that
often a head that looks very good on
top will be soft at the bottom. These
heads are useless as they have al
ready began 20 form seed stalk which
will appear in short order.
II the nights have beeen cool, III
heads are hard and crisp in the morn
ing, and this of course is the time TO
cut II this impossible, the next best
time is late in the evening, taking
care 10 always cut the heads in the
shade as much as possible and do
not lose any time in getting the let
tuce TO town and to the plaform.
When the weather is bad n head
will run to seed in three or four days,
but when the weather is cool a head
will stand for a week or more without
seeding.
Cut the head just below the lower
leaves, taking of only three or four
larger leaves that rest on the ground
and pack the lettuce head down in n
crate. Heads can then be taken out
and not torn.
Solid head lettuce is at a premium
and brings top prices almost every
where in the country. However the
market is flooded with lettuce of the
soft head" variety and for this reas-
on il is almost useless to bring soft
stuff to the platform. The Associa-
tion's Bear Brand" label will only
be put on the best grade, and up to
this time the lettuce simply has not
merited the brand. Do not cut the
lettuce in too great hurry, but al
low it to head as long as possible
without letting il seed.
