In
Check-up of New
Lettuce Vari e ty

The state experiment station at
Chula Vista was visited Thursday af
terpoon by Z. l.. Garthwaite, I'M
pcrial county farm advisor, and DIR.
j. F. Rosa of the state agricultural
college at Davis, for the purpose
of observing the work being done
by DR.. Ivan Jaggers with various
lettuce varieties, in his effort to
eliminate the brown. blight disease
affecting some Imperial Valley
fields.
DR.. Jaggers is crossing the New
York special and Big Boston va
rieties, the latter being one of two
locally grown types immune to the
blight, to obtain seed that will have
characteristics of both that will be
immune. The New York. special
seed used in the experiment plots
was obtained from Meloland.
Mr.. Garthwaite stated today that
of the 80 or 90 varieties of lettuce
grown in the vally only two of the
headup types were immune to the
ravages of the brown blight. These
are French variety and the Big
Boston neither of which gives as
fine a product as the New York spe
cial, when firmness and shipping
qualities are considered. The New
York special has proven most adapt
able to valley conditions, its sus-
ceptibility to the disease being the
only drawback.

Once a day baby's bottles should
be placed in saucepan of cold wa
