2l,852 AC r ES
OF LETTUCE IN
. SAYS RU N G E

Imperial Valleys lettuce crop is
~ excellent shape ut the present
time according TO G. w. Runge, dis
trict freight and passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific company, who
has made an intense survey of the
crop, and every indication points to
most successful season, he stated
this morning.
His figures show total of 2l
s52 acres planted to lettuce in the
valley at the present time. These
figures may show a slight change
later in the season, if some planters
put in late lettuce, but they are ex-
eeptionally accurate at this time,
Mr.. Runge said.
He predicts that shipments will
reach approximately 10000 carloads
this year, and having established a
record in past wears for being q
good guesser, lettuce growers are
backing his statements with the ex-
pectation Of smashing the high rec
ords of other years.
Mr.. Runge stated that the first
carload shipment may leave the val
ley late this week, or early next
week, and by December 10 he ex-
poets to see good sized shipments
going out each day. BY Christmas
week, he believes the shipments will
nave increased greatly and there
after should number well around 100
cars for several days, with the peak
coming in January.
The railroad has made extensive
arrangements for handling the crop,
refrigerator cars having been plac-
cd in storage for several weeks past
iii anticipation of the crop.
The quality of the lettuce now in
the fields is exceptionally good,
Runge says, and the present wealth
er, with crisp nights and warm days
is just what is needed to produce
the finest crops.
