MILWAUKEE DOCTOR MAKES
REMARKABLE DISCOVERY

Milwaukee, Wisc.-It has been
brought to light by scientific re-

A. A. Rock, Dept. By, Box 737,
Milwaukee, Wise, prominent
goitre specialist for over "a years,

treatment for his patients that has
proved remarkably successful. This

home treatment of goitre cases all

results. The Doctor states that
goitre is a condition, which grows
worse with neglect and recommends
Immediate attention no matter how
small the growth may appear. He
strongly opposes needless opera

IN NEW LETTUCE

\ constant stream of farmers yes

tion Of lettuce which was held at
a trial plot on the Jack Bros. and
McBurney ranch 10 miles from
Brawley on the Holtville highway,
under the direction Of DR.. Ivan {.
Jaeger of the I. s. Department Of
Agriculture, and Frank BeySch,ag,
assistant farm advisor.
DR.. Jaeger has been experiment.
ing in the selection and breeding
of strains Of lettuce resistant to
both brown blight and mildew. On
these small plots lie has about ! 0Q0
strains. The new strain is said to
be very promising, but as the valley
has not been visited this season
with mildew. II win be necessary to
give it further trials to determine
if it is fully resistant to mildeW. DR..
Jaeger stated.
The present plants in their first
generation were OF the different
groups of Cos or Romaine variety
and were crossed with the New
York stock, very common in I'm
perial Valley. To this was crossed
strains of Imperial No. > and I'm
perial No. ,, securing the present
strain.
Although this strain, which DR..
Jaeger calls double resistant, is re-
sistant to both mildew and brown
blight, seeds viii not be available
in any quantity until the fall Of
1880. Further trials are to be made
upon more extensive scale and i
is not until these experiments are
completed that the seed can be dis
tributed TO the growers Of Imperial
Valley.

blight since the fall Of 1922, whom
