Chinese Cabbage “Doubles” for Lettuce 
During. the lettuce strike, Chinese Cabbage was 
trucked into city markets from all over the central 
states where this cabbage has been grown successfully 
now for several years. 
Housewives took it when they couldn’t get California 
head lettuce and liked it. 
Hotels and restaurants served it and patrons did not 
know the difference. 
A check-up on retail outlets since the strike was 
settled shows many housewives still prefer Chinese cab¬ 
bage and large operators find it .more economical to 
serve. 
Another time when the truck stepped in after 
long-distance markets were shut off bringing 
more even division of profits to local growers. 
Same thing happened in the Celery industry. Time 
was when all celery came from just a few states. Now 
practically every state grows celery. It is packed in 
storage warehouses until needed, then trucked into 
nearby markets. 
The IDAHO potato you ate last evening at dinner may 
have been grown in Minnesota—or Michigan—or Wis¬ 
consin.
