WAREHAM OR PLYMOUTH -MASSACHUSETTS WHITESHOWERS, INC. 6490 DUBOIS ST., DETROIT, MICH. FRESH FROM THE FIELDS Mass Crop The prospect for May Drop the Massachusetts' To 260,000 cranberry crop itit crop, is believed at the present writing from information received from reliable sources, is certainly not more than 275,000 barrels and possibly as low as 260,000 barrels. The New England crop reporting service, in a news release dated October 12, has re- duced its estimate from 370,000 barrels as of September 1 to 300,- 000 barrels. This certainly means a very small crop for Massachu- setts, which last year harvested the record crop of 565,000 barrels. The ten-year average, from 1927- 1936, has been for 389,000 barrels. Picking is now well over. Price Is As a consequence Advancing of the extreme shortage of ber- ries, the price has now advanced from the opening price of $2.15 a box, or $8.60 a as to barrel, $2.60 and $2.65 a box, or $10.40 and $10.60 a barrel. At this price there is a good demand. Exact rail shipments to date are still uncertain because of the confused state of affairs due to the tidai wave and hurricane which struck the Cape on Sept. 21. There has been no rail service south of Wareham since that time, so prob- ably a considerable quantity of berries has been trucked off CapeCod proper, many of which would have normally gone by rail and record of which would have been kept. However, it is very prob- able that the number of barrels which have been sent to market is substantially that of last year at the corresponding date, which is something more than 400 cars. There is a tendency on the part of many growers to hold back ship- ment this fall in anticipation of still higher prices. No Great The hurricane Hurricane and tidal wae Hurricane and tidal wave Losses on Cape which struck most severely in the cranberry section around Wareham and Buzzards Bay, did not do any material damage to the crop as a whole. thatThis a does few not mean, however, that a few individual growers did not lose heavily. Some bogs were under salt water for several days, and there was damage to dams and ditches were filled in. Also the vines in some instances may have been permanently dam- aged by the ocean water. Some berries were covered by a white salt deposit. Little Frost Although Massa- tebarrels. Damage chusetts growers were troubled by several frost warnings in the lat- ter part of the season, and there was some frost damage, the frost losses in Massachusetts have not been at all severe ths fall. The fruit worm damage has been heavier than it was last year, but still not serious as a whole except to a few bogs. P a the Our New Jersey T h e N e w Correspondent Jersey cran Writes berry district was not seri- ously affected by wind but we did have nine inches of rain in three days of that week. Cranberries have been under water so often this year that we will not be surprised if they develop periscopes for a regular submarine life. We knew that submerging once with rain water was not particularlyserious on well developed berries but this is the first year we have had them submerged time after time. The bogs that were not sub- merged during blooming time have come through surprisingly well. The crop is not going to be as large as the August estimate but at this time we haveveno figures that will indicate how much small- er it will be. The last rains have washed out many d-ms and it looks as thoughl growers are going to have plenty of work this fall putting in new gates and rebuilding dams. We cannot tell yet how much the repeated flooding has damaged the ByC.J.H. vines in a way to prevent crop production next year. We hope this is not serious. Wisconsin Flood The Wis- Daage Not cosin crop, Heavy As Feared which was reported to have been possibly cut in half by the floods there about Sept. 12, is now figured to have been damaged not more than a loss of a few thousand barrels. The crop is figured, according to our latest information, at 60,000 to 65,000 Some Growers One or two of Suffered Loss the small grow ers suff e r ed some loss in the floods but this made little impression on the total harvest. There were quite a lot of berries that were under water for some time but this did not seem to hurt them any, as the seem to hurt them$8ny, water was quite cold and it was fresh rain water. Then too, the fresh n woers are used to having water on the berries as a good many of the Wisconsin berries are raked on water. The Wisconsin berries as a rule are of good color, and growers there expect to have a good season. Summary For the country as a whole it would appear the crop would total from 260,000 to 275,000 barrels for Massachusetts; probably around 60,000 or less for New Jersey, and 65,000 to 75,0 forN Wisconsan with something like 25,000 for Oregon and Washington That Ore and Washington. That mares atotal of from 410 00o s to 0 barel cGord aTh ing to our estimate. eenment crop reporting service sets the total figure higher, at 461,000 barrels. The country total last year, the largest on record, as we all know, was 877,300 barrels as comp red to the ten-year average of 562,900 barrels. This would make the smallest crop probably since 1921.

Remember there are two kinds of canning: Grower canning which is but a means to maintain high prices for fresh cranberries. Commercial canning which is a business in itself and must depend on low prices for fresh cranberries. Remember that the members of Cranberry Canners, Inc., are growers who sell most of their berries fresh. They use canning only as a means to maintain good prices for fresh berries, and to provide a market for sound berries which cannot be shipped fresh. Members of commercial canning companies are not growers, and are interested only in profit on canned Cranberry Sauce. Every grower who sells berries to a commercial canner or sells to an agent who does not have grower interests at heart, is working against himself. The high prices for fresh berries in 1938 were made possible only because of grower-controlled canning. High prices for 1938 will be maintained only as long as growers sit in the driver's seat. The cranberry industry is small enough to permit us all to work as one family to achieve an end we growers desire: orderly marketing of fresh cranberries and $10 a barrel every year.

FRESH FROM THE FIELDS Mass Crop The prospect for May Drop the Massachusetts' To 260,000 cranberry crop itit crop, is believed at the present writing from information received from reliable sources, is certainly not more than 275,000 barrels and possibly as low as 260,000 barrels. The New England crop reporting service, in a news release dated October 12, has re- duced its estimate from 370,000 barrels as of September 1 to 300,- 000 barrels. This certainly means a very small crop for Massachu- setts, which last year harvested the record crop of 565,000 barrels. The ten-year average, from 1927- 1936, has been for 389,000 barrels. Picking is now well over. Price Is As a consequence Advancing of the extreme shortage of ber- ries, the price has now advanced from the opening price of $2.15 a box, or $8.60 a as to barrel, $2.60 and $2.65 a box, or $10.40 and $10.60 a barrel. At this price there is a good demand. Exact rail shipments to date are still uncertain because of the confused state of affairs due to the tidai wave and hurricane which struck the Cape on Sept. 21. There has been no rail service south of Wareham since that time, so prob- ably a considerable quantity of berries has been trucked off CapeCod proper, many of which would have normally gone by rail and record of which would have been kept. However, it is very prob- able that the number of barrels which have been sent to market is substantially that of last year at the corresponding date, which is something more than 400 cars. There is a tendency on the part of many growers to hold back ship- ment this fall in anticipation of still higher prices. No Great The hurricane Hurricane and tidal wae Hurricane and tidal wave Losses on Cape which struck most severely in the cranberry section around Wareham and Buzzards Bay, did not do any material damage to the crop as a whole. thatThis a does few not mean, however, that a few individual growers did not lose heavily. Some bogs were under salt water for several days, and there was damage to dams and ditches were filled in. Also the vines in some instances may have been permanently dam- aged by the ocean water. Some berries were covered by a white salt deposit. Little Frost Although Massa- tebarrels. Damage chusetts growers were troubled by several frost warnings in the lat- ter part of the season, and there was some frost damage, the frost losses in Massachusetts have not been at all severe ths fall. The fruit worm damage has been heavier than it was last year, but still not serious as a whole except to a few bogs. P a the Our New Jersey T h e N e w Correspondent Jersey cran Writes berry district was not seri- ously affected by wind but we did have nine inches of rain in three days of that week. Cranberries have been under water so often this year that we will not be surprised if they develop periscopes for a regular submarine life. We knew that submerging once with rain water was not particularlyserious on well developed berries but this is the first year we have had them submerged time after time. The bogs that were not sub- merged during blooming time have come through surprisingly well. The crop is not going to be as large as the August estimate but at this time we haveveno figures that will indicate how much small- er it will be. The last rains have washed out many d-ms and it looks as thoughl growers are going to have plenty of work this fall putting in new gates and rebuilding dams. We cannot tell yet how much the repeated flooding has damaged the ByC.J.H. vines in a way to prevent crop production next year. We hope this is not serious. Wisconsin Flood The Wis- Daage Not cosin crop, Heavy As Feared which was reported to have been possibly cut in half by the floods there about Sept. 12, is now figured to have been damaged not more than a loss of a few thousand barrels. The crop is figured, according to our latest information, at 60,000 to 65,000 Some Growers One or two of Suffered Loss the small grow ers suff e r ed some loss in the floods but this made little impression on the total harvest. There were quite a lot of berries that were under water for some time but this did not seem to hurt them any, as the seem to hurt them$8ny, water was quite cold and it was fresh rain water. Then too, the fresh n woers are used to having water on the berries as a good many of the Wisconsin berries are raked on water. The Wisconsin berries as a rule are of good color, and growers there expect to have a good season. Summary For the country as a whole it would appear the crop would total from 260,000 to 275,000 barrels for Massachusetts; probably around 60,000 or less for New Jersey, and 65,000 to 75,0 forN Wisconsan with something like 25,000 for Oregon and Washington That Ore and Washington.

The country total last year, the largest on record, as we all know, was 877,300 barrels as comp red to the ten-year average of 562,900 barrels. This would make the smallest crop probably since 1921.

Remember there are two kinds of canning: Grower canning which is but a means to maintain high prices for fresh cranberries. Commercial canning which is a business in itself and must depend on low prices for fresh cranberries. Remember that the members of Cranberry Canners, Inc., are growers who sell most of their berries fresh. They use canning only as a means to maintain good prices for fresh berries, and to provide a market for sound berries which cannot be shipped fresh. Members of commercial canning companies are not growers, and are interested only in profit on canned Cranberry Sauce. Every grower who sells berries to a commercial canner or sells to an agent who does not have grower interests at heart, is working against himself. The high prices for fresh berries in 1938 were made possible only because of grower-controlled canning. High prices for 1938 will be maintained only as long as growers sit in the driver's seat. The cranberry industry is small enough to permit us all to work as one family to achieve an end we growers desire: orderly marketing of fresh cranberries and $10 a barrel every year.
