Establishment of a lettuce ship

Coast Vegetable Company, is an in
dication of the growth of the lettuce
industry in the western section of
the valley, according to Charles F..
Matlin, local agent for the San Diego

handle shipments of the company
"Each season for the past few
years, has seen an increase in the
amount of land placed in lettuce
between Dixieland and Ell Centre, y
said Mr.. Hatlin, "until now it has
reached such proportions that estab-
lishment of shipping sheds is neccs-
sary to avoid the long haul into Ell
Centre for shipment. The American
Fruit Growers have made shipments
from their station at Blue Goose,
but this will mark the first season
that shipments have been made from
Seeley. We expect to handle the
first carload out of Secley this week.
but do not look for any considerable
movement until January 10. The
total movement for the season from
Sceley should reach 200 ears.
"Therc will also be Il heavy in
crease in the shipments from Whsle,
the first station west of Ell Centre.
In 1920 VIC handled Is ears from
this station; in 1921, % ears, and
this year we expect to handle 100
cars.
Handicap is Overcome
Heretofore, the big handicap to
ranchers desiring to grow lettuce in
this section, has been the heavy haul
to FL Centre for shipping, which dug
deeply into the profits. This discour-
aged the planting of lettuce and
other crops on II scale warranted by
tho fertility of the land. Now ii is
possible for the ranchers to haul
their lettuce to Sccley and obtain
TIE same rate from that point that
exists III any other part of the val
ley.
owe are looking for an extensive
increase in all Imperial Valley pro
duets in the western section, long
recognized as having some of the
most fertile land in the valley, and
with the establishment of "a pack
ing shed at Seeley, which will be
used for both lettuce and canta.
loupes. we believe the activity in
these two crops will be greatly slim
ulatcd. The mild weather of the
past few weeks has put the lettuce
in wonderful condition and "A banner
crop is expected that will rival the
big crop of last season.
