Lettuce Shipments From Imperial Valley Rise and Fall
In Imperial Valley California lettuce shipments reached 84 carloads by last Friday with about 20 carloads daily now. Weather improved after recent rains and growers expect a rapid uptick in shipments as peak early season markets approach. The rains briefly halted truck movement, delaying supplies but improving quality as premature lettuce was kept off the market. A separate suit in El Centro concerns Kashiki and the California Growers and Shippers Inc. over 4000 dollars from watermelon and lettuce contracts. In Brawley J Morrell and J D Mackermick monitor lettuce interests while the J W Reed citrus packing plant near Imperial nears completion and grapefruit shipments continue.
