HUGE INCREASE
IN ACREAGE OF
VALLEY LETTUCE,
Present Indications Fore
cast Planting of
$4,000 Acres

According to estimates based on
the amount of seed beng purchased,
and the land being prepared, it
looks as if between $4,000 and 80
600 acres of Imperial Valley land
would be used for raising the coun
try's winter salads. When it is re-
membered that last years acreage
was 14,l32, and that this figure
represents the largest lettuce acre
age ever produced in this district,
the striking nature of the situation
becomes apparent.
At the present time, field work
is just beginning, but by the early
part of October, lettuce planting
should be in full swing,
In connection with the early
planting of lettuce, one of the auth
critics who was interviewed today
stated that he believed that II
warning with regard to the quality
seed should be issued, rs good let
tucc cannot be produced from in
ferior seed. The history of the
seed should be known and a guar.
anted variety secured to insure
profitable results.

LEGION FIGHTS
TO HAVE WOMEN
OF WAR AIDED

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. G.-Do-
miciliary care for women veterans
of the world war, including army
nurses, yeomen (F), and others is
being urged by the American Lee
gion Auxiliary, III order TO save the
lives of hundreds of such women.
The fight for admission TO national
the spitalization committee of
the organization, to assist the wo-
men veterans. About 10000 women
were in military service, 5000 of
whom have applied to the govern
ment for relief.
Mrs. Lowell F. Hobart, past ma
tiomal president of the auxiliary,
and chairman of the disqualification
committee has completed Il survey
of such women veterans, and de,
clares that the problem is very
grave. Mrs. Hobart saws that un-
less dOmiciliary care is afforded
many of these women veterans, they
viii die of starvation, adding that
in one district of the Veteran s
Bureau alone, JSl women veterans
need admission to some institution
where care and treatment might be
provided. Another problem is fac
ed by the auxiliary workers, de-
clares Mrs. Hobart, in persuading
these women TO accept such treat
ment where available, due to ex-
treme sensitiveness regarding their
disability The greater number of
such women are found in the west,
where they have gone to be cured
If tuberculosis.
A recent Veterans Bureau ruling
permits the admission of women to
such institutions as have available
but according TO-
the results of Mrs. Hobart : sur
veE, there are less than dozen of
such instances, and she fears that
many will die before building
program to provide suitable quar-
ters is completed. Veterans Blu
reau officials have offered every
possible aid in the problem, but arc
because of lack of facili-
-eis.
The problem will be given care
full consideration at the San Fran
.iseo convention of the American
Legion Auxiliary.
