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.
