HEAD LETTUCE
IS PROFITABLE
ny T. n. Abel, Assistant Horticui-
tariet, U. A. C. Experiment Station

Head lettuce is a good crop for
Utah. Recent experience of Utah
growers demonstrates that a product
of very high quality can be grown in
the great Salt Lake Valley and sur
rounding valleys. Furthermore we
find it being produced In large guam
titles under similar conditions In Ida
no and Colorado, being grown sue
cessfully in the latter state at alti-
tudes as high as 5000 feet.
There are several adv dntages which
.he state should gain from the produc
ton of this crop. In the first place
the heavy shipments from California
and Florida come from January to
March, Utah lettuce could be cleaned
up NY this time and so reap the bene-
fit OF the early market.
Another point in favor Of lettuce is
that it is a fall grown crop, making
It possible to be preceded by a
spring crop. There have been recent
accounts of farmers successfully pre-
ceediEg this crop by peas. The de-
tails of double cropping will need to
be worked out for each farm since 1t
Is probable that not all soils will per
NIT of such treatment.
The third point in its favor is that
when correctly grown, lettuce is
highly profitable crop. 1t is not safe
to give figures but it is probably safe
to say that head lettuce can be made
to head the list as a profitable crop.
Head lettuce Is a cool season crop
and for the reason is grown so that
it forms head during cool fall wealth
er. Sowing time is usually July 20
to August 1. This is done on rich,
heavy soil which has been prepared
to a perfect seed bed.
The seed is planted as shallow as
possible with a hand seeder and is
covered very lightfully with a double
loop of chain.
The best seed is New York or Los
Angeles Wonder, which costs about
$3.50 to $500 per pound. 1t is sown
at the rate of IL pounds per acre.
An experienced grower says that
If one gets a good grade Of seed.
plants it properly and gets it to
come up, he can be a successful let
tuce grower. In other words the
critical thing is to procure the best
seed and then get 1t to terminate
After the plants have started, the
requirements for success are thinning
to prevent crowding, continual sup
ply of moisture and abundant cult1va-
ton.
When practice has made perfect,
grower may well plant several acres,
but for a beginner with this crop,
one-fourth to one-half acre is suffi-
cient for the first attempt. There
we're several of these small plot
growers last year who will probably
produce several acres apiece this
coming season.

Significant Statements From
Pres. Peterson's Report

The following are significant state
ments from a report on the general
agricultural situation by resident Ell
mer G. Peterson, Of the Utah Agri-
cultural College, recently prepared
and submitted to the Board Of Trus-
tees of that institution.
The industrial crisis, precipitated
by the sensational drop in practical
ly all prices, and especially in the
price of crops and livestock, is still
the most important problem con-
fronting agriculture.
The farmer must now make his
earning from the producing power OF
his land rather than in the increase
In land values.
The principles of business mana
cement must be applied to agricul.
ture to much more general degree
than at present Yet we must remem-
her that the farm is both a home and
a business.
The necessity of cooperation is
now so apparent that little need be
said of It except that its absence is
a lani.nuable weakness In our pres
emit methods. While cooperation is
the most needed Improvement, it is
Mt the same time the most difficult
of attainment.
There is no reason why we cannJt,
through our Farm Bureau organi5a-
ton, regulate the nature Of our pro-
ducticn to suit the needs of the many
millions about us who desire to buy.
Prerequisite 10 the successful con
summation of a great agricultural pro
gram must be statewide campaign
of education in regard to the facts
of our agricultural situation.
The County Agents will become
the most potential single factor IN
the important problems Of agricui
turaI production.
OF utmost present importance is.
the need of lower freight rates for
farm products.
Farming is business for our best
citizens. In the history of civilian
ton, the cause of social decay has
been accompanied, II not caused, by
the building of great cities and the
drawing to these cities OF the better !
citizens leaving only the INDECENT anc
inferior behind, The business OF |
farming must he established as econ
omically sound, paying thing, o:
people will desert 1t.

October, 1918, on a farm 20 miles
north of Rockp0rt, in Carter township,
Spencer county, Indiana. She was a
woman of superior natural endow-
ments, of great amiability and kind
ness of heart, says the Boston Herald.
During her last years she was an
invalid, and underwent great physical
suffering as the result of the priva-
tons and exposures she was COM
PEELED to undergo In her pioneer life.
She had sweet expression of counte-
nance, though her face bore the lines
Of suffering. She was far more ener-
getic than her husband, and was quick
witted, with a great relish for the hu-
morous, and a keen sense Of the ludi-
crous. On this farm Abraham Lin
coin lived until he reached his twenty
first year, from whence he removed
with his family to Illinois In 1880.

LincoIn's Northern Enemies
In 1863 when Northern sympathizers
were rendering aid and comfort to the
Bonnie Blue Flag" the following edi-
torial appeared in the Union and Ad-
vertiser, a copperhead sheet published
at Rochester, N. Y. 1t is given here
for a two-fold purpose: To illustrate
what these fire-in-rear gentry were do
ing to destroy the country, and be-
cause it reads like the course Mr. Lin
coin would probably have pursued had
such circumstances arisen.
1--WE have it on good authority that
last evening the President summoned
his cabinet together, including General
Halleck, and without much ado, with
out the preface OF an apology, said:
Gentlemen, In the management
and conduct Of this war from hence
forth shall be head Of the concern.
I have taken OF my overcoat, and
thrown away my mittens, and shall do
something. I believe / am as capable
Of debating to you as you are to me.
and hereafter l shall direct and order
matters myself. A change has become
necessary, and now Is the time to In
augurate it,and I will not be dictated
to and will not be interfered with

to the item, he laughed heartily and
remarked that 1t might be a devilish

Whole World Came
to Admire Genius
of "Abe" Lincoln

During the early years Of the strug-
gle between the states English sympa-
thy was largely with the South, al
though the efforts Of Henry Ward
Beecher. George Francis Train and
other Americans Of prominence, in
stirring addresses at London, Man
chester and other cities eventually
worked miracles In changing the trend
of public sentiment. Several Of the
most influential British newspapers OF
that date lampooned Mr.. Lincoln,
made sport of his personal appear
ance and otherwise bemeaned them
selves in abuse of the man OF the
ages" who In after years was to COM
mand the lasting esteem of English
speaking people throughout the world.
Among these "molders of public opin-
ion" was the London Spectator.
Suddenly after a long period Of ad-
verse criticism and vituperation, the
editor of the sheet apparently saw
the light" The greatness Of Lincoln
could no longer be ignored. On April
8, 1865, week before the awful trag-
edy at washington, Chicago journal
printed the following paragraph from
an editorial in the Spectator, in refer
ence to Mr.. Lincoln's second inaugural
address:
mo statesman ever uttered words
stamped at once with the seal Of SO
deep wisdom, and so true sim
plicity. The village attorney OF
~ 7
wise men wrote with SO much scorn
in 1861, seems destined to be one of
those foolish things of the world who
are destined to confound the world,
'one of those weak things which shall
confound the things that are mighty"
Never Sought Money.
The editor had apparently pondered
and profted by that remarkable and
beautiful sentiment, with malice to-
ward none, and charity for all, with
frmness In the right, let us strive on
to finish the work we are in, to bind
up the nations wounds, to care for
him who shall have borne the battle,
and for his widow and his orphans, to
do all which may achieve and cherish
a just and lasting peace among our
selves and with all nations"
"Too poor for a bride. and too proud |
to importune," he had not the merit |
Of making a fortune. The Hon. David |
Davis, Mr.. Lincoln's most intimate
friend, once said Of him: ut did not
seem to be one Of the purposes Of his
life to accumulate fortune. In fact,
outside his profession, he had no
Of the way to make money,
and he never attempted it." Yet it
vas his fortune to acquire what money

made for the greatest good to the
