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
