VEg A TABLES. ROLLING IN.
Mfltanuska Valley grown vegetables
are being delivered to the Co-op.
produce department this week in
substantial quantities, head lettuce,
cabbage and spuds are the leading
products, the quality is very good
and there is lots more to come, so
looks like the vegetable growers are
going to make a little money this
year, if nothing else happens.
Among the growers who ?ro delivcrin
considerable amounts of produce are
Louie Loberg, Robt. Kl'm, Harry SErr?
and Geo. Me. NeC.se.
Bob Kigginbothom, Mr. Quinby and
Claire Patton delivered a nice lot
of new potatoes this last week.
Generrly speaking; the rains of th>
last week has improved the quality
of most of the vegetables, but too
much r^in from now on may injure the
heed lettuce and potatoes.
Some splendid celery is being
srown this year and is nearly ready
for market, turnips, cauliflower and
rutabagas are doing nicely.
It seems likely that the regular
.market can bo supplied with all of
its needs, if nothing unexpected
should occur.____
