will get a firmer growth and heavier foli- 

 age, which will be better t<r resist dis- 

 ease. But this is not all your trouble. 

 The high temperature alone would not 

 iujure your plants to such a serious ex- 

 tent as you describe. There must be 

 some root trouble which is either due to 

 an unsuitable soil or to lack of drainage 

 in the bench. 



Regarding the soil, you say you use 

 lots of manure. Perhaps you use too 

 much. liCttuce is not a heavy feeder 

 and is easily overdone in this respect. 

 Especially is it susceptible to injury 

 when the manure is used in too fresh a 

 condition. You do not say what sort 

 of manure you use. If it is procured 

 from the horse stables it has to be thor- 

 oughly rotted down before it is fit to use 

 in lettuce soil. The cowbarn article is 

 preferable for the purpose, but even this 

 should be a year old before being used. 

 A liberal -quantity to use in lettuce soil 

 would be one load of manure to five or 

 six of soil, according to the quality of

soil being used, the poorer soil of course 

 requiring the larger quantity. 



The amount of drainage required will 

 depend largely on the nature of your 

 subsoil. If this is of a gravelly or sandy 

 nature little or no drainage -would be 

 required, as you would practically have 

 natural drainage, but when the subsoil is 

 of a stiff, retentive nature or hardpan, 

 which the water would not get through, 

 sufficient drainage would be necessary to 

 insure against stagnation in the bed. 

 And in the case of a low situation it 

 might even be necessary to provide facil- 



ities for carrying the water off. This 

 of course relates to your solid bed, which 

 ought to be the best for growing lettuce. 

 On raised benches they seldom prove en- 

 tirely satisfactory. The Grand Eapids 

 variety is the best and easiest handled 

 as a greenhouse crop. 



Regarding nitrate of soda, like sul- 

 phate of ammonia this is more of a 

 stimulant than an actual feeder and is 

 beneficial only in carrying a crop through 

 when the soil is exhausted. In a case 

 where the soil already contains suflBcient 

 nutriment to sustain the crop, the appli-
