LETTUCE GROWING
is ADVOCATED FOR
NORTHERN ARIZONA

Fruit and vegetable growing in this
portion of Arizona, particularly of
truck crops which can be produced in
the summer when similar products
can not be grown in the southern
parts of the state, is advocated by
George NJ Bridge of Somerton, presi-
dent of the Arizona farm bureau fed
Grafton, as an important step in Ari-
zona's agricultural development.
The farm bureau head points out
that, although the southern valleys
ship considerable quantities Of truck,
especially lettuce, during the winter
and spring, they have to ship in these
same products during the summer and
fall Farm lands in the northern part
of the state could produce ample crops
to supply the states markets during
the south's productive season, and
could ship to outside points as WELL
making Arizona year-round prOduc-
er of lettuce and other truck crops.
This would be material advantage
to both sections in that permanent
markets could be developed, taking
Arizona produce throughout the year
The higher attitudes of the north
STn anu eds tern JdI 10 VI Ctio otdIS oloO
have great possibilities in the growing
of such fruits as apples and peaches,
climatic conditions producing excel
lent quality.
Mr. Bridge sees an uneXcelled op-
portunity in the growing of lettuce
and other truck in the state this Win
ter, owing to conditions in the Imper-
ial valley of California, the heaviest
producer OF early lettuce for national
markets during the winter. He has
advised the Industrial Congress that
water shortage in the Imperial valley
is so acute lettuce acreage there this
fall will be negligible, and removal
of the nations principal source OF sup
ply is certain to create heavy de-
mand for Arizona lettuce, as we'll as
any other truck crops which may be
grown.
Yuma farmers already are arrang-
ing to plant a large acreage of early
lettuce which will be marketed
through two associations. About 5000
acres of early lettuce, and 1000 OF
spring lettuce, are indicated in Mari
