VALLEY LETTUCE
GROWERS DRAFT
STANDARD Bill
Continued from page u

change or conflict with the existing
grades and terms now in use. The
U. S. grade terms are insufficient
and in a practical way have not
been applied. Headed Lettuce
and Not Headed Lettuce are terms
not of grade, but of degree of ma
turity. Headed Lettuce refers to
stock which is fit, both in size and
formness of head, to warrant ship
ping it. but the U. s., grade terms
can still be applied to describe its
varying quality. Not Headed Let
tuee means immature lettuce, which
if left in the fields will develop and
mature into Headed Lettuce fit for
marketing and worthy the name of
Imperial Valley Lettuce, or else it
applies to leafy lettuce which is not
head lettuce and can never be such.
"The STANDARDIZATION of lettuce
by the adoption and use of the two
above descriptive terms will give
to the horticultural commissioner
and his inspectors the necessary au-
thority, heretofore lacking, to IN
speet lettuce and enforce the pack
ing and shipping of only the mar
ketable commodity. 1t will prevent
the shipping of immature lettuce
as well as lettuce that has no head
and is nothing more than bunch
of leaves which in no sense is
Headed Lettuce The shipping of
immature lettuce has been due to
cutting fields before the lettuce has
reached the proper stage of maturi
ty. For every 100 crates of lettuce
cut during the early part of the sea
son that was fully matured, there
have been at least 200 crates cut in
which the lettuce had not reached
the proper degree of maturity.
80 Pound Ice Limit
"ln other words, stapdardizing
the crate and insisting that lettuce
shall not contain more than 80
shall not contain core than 80
pounds of ice will prevent deeep-
ton and will compel the packer to
put the necessary amount of lettuce
in the crates rather than to fill them
ed ice. Compelling the marking of
the actual number of heads con-
tanned in each crate on the outside
thereof will do away with deceptive
packing, forcing the packers to put
up a reliable pack. Adopting des-
eriptive terms will enable the
horticultural commissioner and his
assistants to see that only that let
tuce which is properly matured is
shipped.
1.-The proposed Standardization
of the lettuce industry will not
affect or work to the detriment of
a grower who is producing and cut
ting his lettuce at the proper stage
of maturity, nor will it work to the
detriment of the packer or shipper
who is putting up first class pack
and marking his crates with the
correct numerical count Of the let
tuee packed therein.''
