STDCK BROKERS ADMIT THEIR GUILT Commercial truck gardenera Douglas County are neglecting opportunity to substantially Increase their profits by failure to produce greater quantltlea of lettuce. In the ' opinion of F. Schmidt, of Dlllard, who waa In Roseburg yesterday. "Other section of. the Pacific . northwest have built' up the lettnce ? Industry on a highly profltablo cale, but so far Douglas county has failed tp follow their example,'' said Mr. Schmidt. "In the Puyallup -valley of Washington, alone the. value of this year' lettuce crop ran , Into seven figure. In other localities the result were proportionally a flattering." Mr. Schmidt, who la a profession al gardener of . many year experi ence with local conditions, pro nounce Doualas County a soil and climate Ideal for the propogatlon of lettuce. Urower have boen too moa erate In their production, however. owing either to Improper method or failure to visualize the practically unlimited marketing possibilities. "The Idea seem to prevail tht this section con produce only one nrm annually hut this I erroneous." declared Mr. Hcnmini. vareiui u in nervation during my long career of gardening convinces me beyond a doubt that this section will produce a crop for fall marketing In addition to the customary limited output In the spring. No hot house Is needed the' open field will suffice, provided of course, tho proper variety is se lected. There are four or five var ieties or lettuce that, when et out about tho middle of October, will easily thrive In our mild wlnur cllaiiate and matare in tne spring. . Other varieties. when planted dur ing the first half of August, grow ing more rapidly, will he ready for marketing from Thanksgiving to Christmas. This latter period af fords a very large holiday season trade, which has been mononollsed for years by southernmost Califor nia growers. This monopoly win reafo whenever tlw local grower awaken to their own opportntiltte . at home, inrreaie their production and get together on a better mark etlna; aystem. They were a long; time grasping the possibilities of the broccoli industry, but, as absorbing a factor a that vegetable has lie come In our agrlclutural life, I hope they will not much longer re fuse to see thst more lettuce will put more money In their pockets. I nnlntaln that. cre for acre, return on lettuce will easily double those on broccoli, and at that which for lea raretaking and about one-eighth the expense."
