in average yield.
BY the end of February ship
mentS from the valley had sur
passed last years shipments for
the same period and neared aver
age carlot loadings.
Improved demand in the east,
however, continued to boost prices
until the market reached $2.75
per crate last week.
First heavy shipments from Yu-
ma and first carloads of spring
lettuce from Phoenix dropped the
price to 50 to S2.25 per crate Fri
day, but growers expected the mar
ket to remain steady throughout
the remainder of the valley deal,
which will wind up next week.
One grower estimated that 10

profits, 80 per cent fair and 60
per cent comfortable working
profit.
Growers hesitated to forecast
probable losses had steps not been
taken to revive the market.
