HIGHER ATTITUDES BEST
ADAPTED TO HEAD LETTUCE

Head lettuce in Colorado is high
altitude crop. Experience has shown
that elevations of from 1000 to 1000,
CT even 10000 feet, produce the best
lettuce. At these elevations the days
arc not often extremely warm aid
nights are uniformly cool, conditions
that make for crisp, hard heads with
e minimun OF tip-burn and seed stalks.
In certain seasons successful crops
may be grown at attitudes of 5000 to
1000 feet, but the chances for good
return are much less than.at the high
or elevations.
The transportation factor is an i'm
portant consideration in the develop
ment of the lettuce industry in any
locality. A glance at the figures re-
veals that the most important ship
ping points are located on standard
guage railroads where transportation
and handling charges are less than
elsewhere. Many localities in the
sIate, Wnere lnere are lueal cli"dtic
and SOL conditions for the growing of
the crop, are handicapped by Jack of
adequate transportation facilities and
must grow lettuce only in limited
way, if at all.
Head lettuce requires about ninety
days from seeding to maturity. In
some of the localities, at the higher
elevations, seeding cannot be done
until the middle of June, while hard
freezes may damage the crop late in
September, if it is still in the field.

Park Plans That Cannot Wait.

In dealing with certain kinds of pub.
lie improvements it is possible with
out serious loss or injury to postpone
action for the sake Of immediate econ
omy. Works Of one kind can be de-
ferred for a more favorable season,
when money is more plentiful or when
construction costs are lower. But in
other matters immediate action is not
only desirable but necessary. OF this
kind is the proposition for the acquisi-
tion Of two tracts of land for park pur-
poses in the District, the Klingle Ford
and Piney Branch areas, purchase of
which will complete the Rock Creek
Zoo park system and assure the pres
ervation of natural beauties that will
add greatly to the park attractions Of
the capital.
Building operations are advancing
upon these areas. Unless Congress
makes provision for their purchase at
once they will be lost forever, They
lie in the immediate line of improve
ments and already entertainments
have begun upon them. When the
trees have been cut and the banks
have been leveled and the hoIlows
filled and houses have been built II will
be physically impossible ever to re.
gain them.
The House appropriations commit
tee cut these items from the District
bill. s150.Oo0 for the acquisition OF the
Klingle Ford valley and 5000. 900 for
the Piney Branch valley. To assure
the addition of these areas TO the park
system it will be necessary for the
Senate to adopt the two items and to
hold them in the bill through the con.
ference. If this is not done it seems
to be assured that both will quickly
pass out of the range Of possible ac-
