The monthly report of B. A.
Harrigan, county agricultural COM
missioner, contains the following
statement on the lettuce crop:
IF the rest of the United States
would follow the wise lead Of I'm
perial Valley in acreage reduction
in competitive crops, reasonable
relief could be expected from our
burden of overproduction.
Two years ago the valley acre
age of lettuce was 42,833, last year
the acreage had been reduced to
81 SAG. Our total acreage reported
this year is 29,314, but due to loss
es caused by the hot weather fol-
lowing the early planting, and too,
the effect of the flood rain in Oct
ober, the effective stand has ac-
cording to our careful estimates
been reduced about 27l2 per cent,
leaving it at 21,613 acres. This
type of reduction in acres has, in
our opinion, been necessary to
save the deal from complete chaos.
We produce such good grade OF
lettuce that it is hard to reduce
our car output in time of heavy
overproduction by stiffening the
inspection requirements or at

last year, there is almost 80 per
cent increase bringing the total re-
ported us to 1850 acres. There is
now no question that carrots are
becoming popular for the fact that
they do contain the sunlight made
vitamin that is being made famous
by our great health specialists.
Our grapefruit is moving more
slowly, this season, but this is due
to the decision of meeting of
