HOOD RIVER GLACIBR. THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1928 * Al W. BRADLEY GROWS FINE HEAD LETTUCE Cltlaen) A head of crisp, tender lettuce, of the kind that is making Arizona fa mous as a lettuce-growing Hint,, and of a alas that would supply the salad course at a fairly large banquet, baa been achieved by WiUls Bradley, a Tucson man. The gigantic plant, which was grown by Mr. Bradley In his sub-irri gated plot at Twenty-llrst street and Park avenue, is believed to be the largest bead of lettuce ever grown on Arisona soil. With a height of 16 inches, from base to tip, and with a diameter of two feet and a circumference of 04 Inches, this daddy of all lettuce hèada although grown to full size, waa as tender and crisp when freshly picked as the best of young lettuce, and had none of the toughness or wilted ap pearance usual with the plants that are allowed to mature until the point of seeding is reached. Mr. Bradley attributes bls remarks able achievement to the soil content of thia section and to the system of sub-irrigation which he lias inaugu rated. By a system of concrete tiles, which he makes himself, his garden is irrigated with a minimum of water and without waste, as the water is underground, so that the moisture reaches the roots of his piànta, where it la most needed. By the system In use by Mr. Brad ley, long tile troughs are placed under ground at a depth of about 14 inches, the upper trough being placed on the lower ad that the water may seep slow ly through the separating crevices, gradually spreading Into the soil. This system, he believes, will solve the problem of truck growers in many sections where water Is not plentiful. The tiles may be Installed with com paratively little work and can be turned out at a small cost. It is nof necessary to place the tiles nearer than eight feet apart, their originator says, as the water seeping through the cracks will easily spread to a distance of four feet on each elds of the tile. Mr. Bradley came to Tucson about a year ago from Hood River, Oregon, and while he is a carpenter and con crete worker by trade, his hobby la gardening. At his Tucson home besides lettuce, he is growing excellent specimens of peas, beets, tieans, potatoes and corn, and In the one season be has grown sufficient garden truck t<> supply all the needs of his family, and lias saved enough to more than pay for the cost of making and laying the Irrigation tiles, be says. ----- p.
