Head Lettuce Culture Now
Bringing Prosperity

Lettuce dealers had difficulty IN
securing acreage contracts enough
to carry on the business early this
year and discouraged growers were
reluctant to sign up for another
crop. A late season was another
factor to be reckoned with but ou,
OF all these difficulties has come
success for the growers with the
finest grade of head lettuce on the
market to their credit. At this time
the Denver market Is l05 cars shor.
II last years shipments from over
the state and other districts are
harvesting smaller acreages and n
lower grade of lettuce than the Rio
Grande valley. These conditions in
sure a continued high price for val
ley lettuce.
Another factor in favor OF the
continued prosperity from lettuce
growing is the fact that the Girard
Company. one OF the largest ship
pers of green vegetables In the west
has placed their okeh on Rio Grande
valley lettuce as unquestionably the
finest ON the market and are In the
field to secure $500 acres OF lettuce
for next year.
The construction OF the new Del
Norte Irrigation project which Is
well under way will throw under
cultivation more than 5000 more
acres OF land next year which is
practically all lettuce land.
Other lettuce companies are In
the field for similar acreages and
(, is expected the lettuce district

the rather surprising charge that some of the gentlemen" con-

If the consideration for the lease was not adequate, if there
was something crooked about it, if it was unwarranted in any
way, if the rights of the government and the people of the coun-
try were stolen from them by it, or taken from them without ade-
quate return-the public will stand with Senator Helm in this
demand.

THE TEAPOT DOME INVESTIGATION
From The Montana Record-Herald

From The Montana Record-Herald
The investigation of the teapot dome oil lease, conducted by
a senate committee, among whose members is Senator Walsh, of
Montana, has interested the people of this state, as well as those
of the rest of the country. Mr.. Fall, head of the interior depart
ment when it leased the dome, and MIR. Sinclair, lessee, have been
Intercepted and grilled about the transaction; and, we believe,
Senator Walsh plans to secure more information from Mr. Fall.
The country is entirely willing to have all the light on the matter
that the probe can produce.
Now and then some Democrat or Democratic newspaper yens
that the lease was wrong in some way, and adds to the interest IN
the investigation. Most of these partisans have but one thing In
mind, and that is: ITO discredit the Republican administration al

thus far, and one is amused at the rebuffs that some of theH havt

THE DRAFT

The house military committee has reported favOrably a bill
giving the president in time of war power to fix prices OF prop
critics, commodities and service for government use. This is prac-
ticaly the universal draft recommended by President Harding.
In time of war everybody is working for the government. There
is no exception, as an efficient army can be kept on the firing
line only through complete organization at home. The great
anomaly of all wars has been that some men were sent to fight at
an insignificant wage set by the government, while others were
permitted to stay at home and charge as much for their wares
and services as the market would stand. When we recognize that
all the citizens of a country, and not merely those at the front,
must unite in defense of their nation, we will see the inherent JUS
tce of placing all of of them under the orders. of the government
which is conducting the war.

causes. The trade depression is due
in no small measure to the economic
breakdown in the Ruhr and the world
wide lack of consumption demand. The
shortage in the American cotton crop
and the exceptionally high price of
cotton are largely responsible for the
unemployment in Lancashire.
The resolution of the soviet COM
missariat, of France, allowing unre-
stricted foreign currency has recently
been approved by the commission of
the council of commissioners. Hereto
fore, such importation was limited TO
500 gold rubles per persons, and all
amounts in excess of that sum had to
be retained by the customs authorities
and deposited with the state bank for
the account of the owner.
The issuance of licenses for the
importation of goods into Russia has
now been concentrated in the COM
missariate of foreign trade in Mos
cow in order to keep a strict control
on such imports and limit them with
in the confines of a fixed program.
This action of the government with
respect to imports is evidence of its
determination to prevent an adverse
trade balance as far as practicable
and to restore the economic situa-
ton in Russia.
