on past experience, they could ar-
range for the necessary equipment
and personnel to do the work.
We realize that there are many
factors involved but a little more
planning would help corrcet the
problem and pay dividends for all
concerned.
Suggestions for Weeds
We have a few timely sug-
gestions from Dr. Cross on weed
control. The whirl disc which fans
out the spray in a knapsack sprayer
nozzle should be removed when ap-
plying Stoddard Solvent as a spot
treatment under the vines. The re-
moval of this disc results in a
single stream of Stoddard that
can be directed to the base of crown
of the weed provided that very lit-
tle pressure issued. This techni-
que will cause relatively little dam-
age to the new vine growth and
can be used effectively during the
summer months for the control of
small brambles, loosestrife and
asters. o
Nitrate of Soda or Ammonium
Nitrate is recommended for the
control of the large cinnamon and
royal ferns. One handful should
treat 6 to 8 ferns. Those using
Iron Sulfate would do well to mix
one part of salt with nine parts
of iron and use half as much of
the material when treating such
weeds as ferns, haircap moss, sand
spurrey, toad rush, asters and
pitchforks. This technique reduces
the cost of this treatment and eli-
minates the necessity of rain in
order to make the Iron Sulfate
toxic to the various weeds.
2,4-D is still in the experimental
stage but appears to be effective
in the control of hardhack, meadow
sweet, leatherleaf, chokeberry, bay-
berry, and loosestrife. Dr. Cross
recommends the same type of 2,4-D
and the same dilution outlined in
the new chart for the control of
three square grass. The "hockey
stick" technique is still one of the
popular methods for applying this
chemical to these tall weeds when
they extend above the vines.
Urea
Growers have been very much
interested in a high nitrogen fer-
tilizer known as Urea. It has been
applied on a substantial acreage of
bog this spring. Urea can be corn-
bined with insecticides and fungi-
cides and is non-corrosive to equip-
ment according to Dr. Chandler.
Vines respond quickly to this chem-
ical and the cost is very reasonable.
Applications up to 40 pounds per
acre have caused no burning of
the new growth. For further details
on the use of Urea, we sug-
gest that the grower see Dr.
Chandler.
4-H Cranberry Clubs
The prospects for a few 4-H
cranberry clubs this season seem
a little brighter than they did a
few weeks ago. We have a group
of tweleve boys in Carver and an-
other group of approximately 30
boys and girls in Wareham that
have expressed interest in such a
project. The problem now is to
locate some adult leaders to direct
these 4-H cranberry clubs. We feel
sure that we can depend on grow-
ers to help with this important
work.

Makepeace Company Completes 16-Acre Sprinkler System
Will Probably Be Tied In
With Others to Make 24
Acres Operated as Single
Unit.
Sixteen acres of bog, have just
been covered with sprinkler irriga-
tion by the A. D. Makepeace
Company at bog.*Carver
its This,
with a six-acre section, with
sprinklers installed half a dozen
years ago, and a two-acre piece,
protected with sprinklers since the
early thirties, all in the same area,
may be tied in together, making
one of the largest sprinkler instal-
lations in Massachusetts, oper-
ating as a single unit.
Leading to the decision to make
such extensive installations was
the fact that last year the 16-acre
area lost much of its crop by a
spring frost, while 2 years ago it
was hard hit by drought. As a
matter of fact, due to inadequate
water, producing crops on this
particular area of the Carver bog
has been for years extremely
hazardous. Hence the decision for
"insurance" of an overhead water
supply.
Eight
Installed a r e approximately
10,000 feet of pipe and approxi-
mately 160 sprinkler heads. Water
source is considered entirely
adequate, it being an almost natu-
ral "sump" provided by throwing a
dam across the lower end of the
source of the Wankinquoah river.
The area was known long ago as
"The Slug", there having been an
ancient mill near the site.
A modern pump house was
constructed and this contains a
Sterling (Viging) diesel engine of
125 horsepower as power source,
and a Fairbanks-Morse turbine
pump capable of throwing 1350
gallons of water a minute when
operated at 1100 r. p. m. Ten-inch
transite pipe leads from pump-
house to the bogs. About 15
minutes is required to fill pipes
and bring up pressure for efficient
operation, 70-75 pounds, giving
about 40 pounds at the nozzles.
Bog mains are 8" and 6" with
laterals of 4" and 2", spaced 80"
apart. All pipe is light-weight
aluminum of the portable type,
planned to be taken in each fall
and put out in the spring.
Rain Bird Sprinkler mostly No.
40 heads are 600 feet apart on the
laterals, each giving a coverage of
about 90 feet diameter; a 60x80
foot spacing gives protection to all
the vined areas. Pipes are placed
directly on the vines, except the
mains which are supported by cross
ties over the main ditches.
Installation of the system was
done by Larchmont Engineering of
Lexington, assisted by Field-Brook
Equipment, Inc. of East Bridge
water, using the Shur-Rane irrigation
system, although a good deal
of the work was done by Make-
peace personel.
The installation has been used
several times this spring for frost
control, affording, according to
Russell Makpeace, "good frost
protection". Makepeace has been
operating on the p r i n c i p a 1 of
having his foreman at Carver,
Eddie Kangas, put the system in
operation when the thermometer
drops to 30 and to continue
sprinkling until it rises above 32.
If the danger seems over the

although men stand by to watch.
There is no consideration given to
the fact there may or may not be
ice remaining on vines or berries
when the sun arises. The entire
area sprinkled consists of Early
Blacks, so not much fall frost
protection m'ay be necessary.
For irrigation, evening use is the
order, as Dr. H. F. Bergman
advised this was preferable, but
t w b psprinklers have been turned on
during sunlight hours as a relief
from extreme heat.

ISSUE OF
100 YEARS OF ENTOMOLOGY
HE battle against insects is now engag-
ing for this season, although like actual
warfare, preparation is never ending.
"Clinics," other meetings, demonstrations,
such as that given at Mass. State Bog on
air spraying and dusting are opening
tactics.
This year marks the first 100 years of
professional entomology in the United
States. We have been training "generals,"
and minor leaders that long. It is well we
have, the insect army isn't less in numbers,
or any less in spirit of attack.
It was in 1854 that entomology began
in this country. Recognition of the need
for insect control led, in that year to the ap-
pointment of two entomologists to govern-
ment positions. Insects have, since early
history competed with man for foodstuffs.
Earliest cranberry growers 'were troubled
with cranberry insects well before 1854.
For example, one Augustus E. Leland
of Sherborn, in Middlesex County, Massachusetts,
who first cultivated about 1830
began to be troubled in 1840. He wrote
that "every year since 1840 these (cran-
berry) vines had been eaten up as
regularly as the year came around by a
worm, called in this vicinity the 'cranberry
worm.' This worm may be the same, or at
least a species of the same worm which
operates the last of June in the apple tree
. . some seasons they seem to threaten
total annihilation, the vines presenting to
the eye the same appearance that an or-
chard does when its foliage has been eaten
by the canker worm. To destory this work
(of the worms) the vines were kept under
water until the first of July."
Other pioneers bitterly complained of
"the worm."
First two entomologists to be appointed
were Townsend Glover for the Federal
government, assigned to the patent office.
The other, Asa Fitch for New York State.
The United States Entomological Com-
mission was created in 1876. In the U. S.
today about 4.500 men and women are
professional entomologists.
Pionering in the cranberry field were
J. B. Smith, State Entomologist of New
Jersey, who also did work in Massachu-
setts. There was Thomas Headley also of
New Jersey, C. B. Hardenburg, who
worked in Wisconsin on cranberry insects,

Nearly an inch of rain fell after
about ten days of dry weather,

Cold and Dry
Spring, up to middle of May was
cold and dry, with only a few really
warm days. Cranberries ap-

some being well developed with
flower and bud cluster separating,
while others were just starting to
swell.
First Brood Fireworm
First brood of fireworm started
hatching approximately May 5 to
May 10. Growers who had infesta-

Fertilizer
Used
To Improve Effect
Of Kerosene
C. A. Doehert
New Jersey
Agricultural
Experiment
Station
On New Jersey cranberry bogs,
kerosene has been useful in reduc-
ing graassescertain
and weeds.
These weeds have returned to the
bog, however, within a couple of
years in numbers great enough so
that the grower has not realized
as much benefict from the kero-
sene as he had expected. It has
Eighteen
that if the growth of
cranberry vines could be sufficien-
tly stimulated soon after the use
of kerosene, the new vine growth
might be so increased that weeds
would not have the same chance
to become re-established. With this
in mind, an application of 200
pounds of 8-8-8 per acre was made
on August 1, 1953, on a young bog.
On June 1, this year, areas so
treated had 14 percent more up-
rights than unfertilized areas.
This is, of course, only a preli-
minary result. It is quite likely
that if the fertilizer had been ap-
plied June 1 instead of August 1,
the result would have been consi-
derably more benefectial. Or, as
and where kertosene has been
to killthe weeds it would
seem that a desirable rate of ap
d on to try wouonebe any
of the following quantities: -100
lthatlbs. nitrate of soda, 80 lbs. an-t
sulfate, 50 lbs. ammonium
160 lbs. 10-10-10 (ore the
in any 1-1-1 ratio).
of these quantities, it will
be noted, provides 16 pounds of
actual nitrogen.
For bogs which are too young
to bear, these quantities might be
used in June and again the first
week in August. For bearing bogs,
the second treatment should be
omitted if there is danger of getting
too much vine growth. Normally
under conditions which have
required the use of kerosene, there
would not be much danger of
excessive vine growth and the
second application could be used.
The History
Of Prepackaging
(The following is reprinted, with permission
from Market Growers Journal,
as material which may interest cranberrygrowers.)
The "Columbus Experiment" is
often thought of as the beginning
of prepackaging. But a great deal
of groundwork had been done
earlier, much of it by persons and
firms who collaborated in that project.
The operation in Columbus, O.,
was a joint undertaking of A&P
and Ohio State Univ. and Exp. Sta.,
beginning in 1944 and continuing
through 1947.
Those experiments had the sup
port also of E. I. du Pont de Nemours
and Co., Ohio Boxboard Co.,
Hussman Refrigeration, Inc., Oliver
Machinery Co., Food Machinery
Corp., and others. The attention
the project attracted, due to the
prestige of the factors engaged,
served to dramatize the venture
and to publicize its successful re-
sults. It stimulated active interest
in prepackaging more than any-
thing that had occurred before, and
it provided some needed facts un-
der representative commercial con-
ditions. Yet a certain amount of
pioneering had been under way as
much as 20 or 25 years prior to
1944, beginning date of the Colum-
bus experiment.
Some of this was fundamental
research by experiment stations
and other agencies dealing with the
nature of various wrapping ma-
terials and the responses of plant
and animal tissues when sealed in
these wrappers. For example, in
1928 H. D. Brown, in Mich. Agr.
Exp. Sta. Technical Bulletin 87,
described a series of tests of the
effects of various papers upon the
quality of some fruits and vege-
tables. Stahl and Vaughan pub-
lished one of the earliest official
accounts of experimental work in
this field in Fla. Exp. Sta. Bulletin

At the same time a number of
commercial trials were going on
here and there. Just who should
get the nod for pioneering these
developments? Mushrooms in consumer-
size paperboard boxes have
been a familiar item at least since l
the late 1920's and brussels sprouts
since the mid-30's. Spinach and
tomatoes have been growing in
popularity as standard prepackaged
merchandise since the late
30's. Consumer packaging of citrus
fruits got its start in Florida about
1932, and there is now large volume
prepackaging of these fruits

products in Florida, including
sweet corn, which was shipped to
outlets in Philadelphia, and lemons
shipped to Minneapolis and St.
Paul.
Growers and shippers were not
yet ready to undertake prepack-
aging commercially at points of
origin. So in 1934 Rankin moved
closer to the consumer with his
trials. He and Mike Freeman in
New York City developed a pre-
packaging operation there to supply
some of the chain retail outlets.
Lettuce packaging had to be
discontinued because biding on

the job, and gradually getting the
trade and the consumers acquaint-
ed with prepackaged perishables.
Acceptance was mounting.
Then came the early '40's, and
the war, Prepackaging supplies
were almost unobtainable, and de-
velopments slowed to a walk. But
A&P's experimental project in
Columbus, under Frank McGeough,
coupled with the work of the Amer-
ican Stores under Paul Cupp in
Kearny, N. J., gave the industry
a shot in the arm.
The middle and late '40's saw
a big pickup in interest and activity.
Central packing in receiving
markets began to grow again and
has since reached large proportions.
Tomato prepacking, which
had been a hand operation for a
few years previously, became large

His reply was that if it was practical
to give him this information
it would hardly be serviceable to
element of cost; viz. that of learn-

That it would be on a par with
asking a successful physician what
was his office rent, fees and net

a would-be M. D., omitting the
most important asset, viz, cost of

The advantage would be rather
in favor of the medical proposition,

Cranberry Queen Lee Saunders of Rochester, Mass., and student at Wareham High School is shown above at
the Father's Day luncheon at Waldorf-Astoria in New York recently. Lee represented the cranberry industry, as
chicken and cranberries make up the main course of the national "official" Father's Day menu.
With her (left) is Sam Snead, golf champion named "Sport's Father of the Year, and, (right) Lloyd Nolan,
noted actor currently starring in "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial," who is "Stage Father of the Year."
Miss Saunders was accompanied on the trip by Miss Ellen Stillman, advertising director and Miss BettyBuchan, publicity director of National Cranberry As sociation. She visited the Arthur Godfrey TV show,
took the tour of the UN and saw other sights. Also in New York at the time were M. L. Urann and James

EXCERPT FROM LETTER TO NATIONAL CRANBERRY ASSOCIATION
Who Eats Cranberries in June?
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE!.
During June 1953 over two and one half million cans of Ocean Spray
Cranberry Sauce were sold. Most of these sales were made to fill the demands
created by Ocean Spray's Father's Day campaign.
Again in 1954 Chicken and Cranberry Sauce is the official Father's Daydinner (see above). There will be strong activity promoting this meal from -the
Poultry Industry, The Father's Day Committee, and the National Cranberry
Association. We expect to sell a great deal more Cranberry Sauce than last
year.
Father's Day is one of many events throughout the year -that are makingOcean Spray a profitable, substantial growers' organization.
If you have a question regarding your cranberries, talk to National.

Probably one of the A most important lessons learned was CRANB the fact that we waited too long in many instances before irrigating our bogs. Cranberry vines require about one inch of water per week in order to produce a good crop and carry it through to the harvest season. _— Keeping Quality l r The Final Keeping Qaulity Fore-MEMBEP cast has been prepared and mailed to growers through the County write or phone Agents' offices.

Growers who Four on past experience, they could ar- range for the necessary equipment and personnel to do the work. We realize that there are many factors involved but a little more planning would help corrcet the problem and pay dividends for all concerned. Suggestions for Weeds We have a few timely sug- gestions from Dr. Cross on weed control. The whirl disc which fans out the spray in a knapsack sprayer nozzle should be removed when ap- plying Stoddard Solvent as a spot treatment under the vines. The re- moval of this disc results in a single stream of Stoddard that can be directed to the base of crown of the weed provided that very lit- tle pressure issued. This techni- que will cause relatively little dam- age to the new vine growth and can be used effectively during the summer months for the control of small brambles, loosestrife and asters. o Nitrate of Soda or Ammonium Nitrate is recommended for the control of the large cinnamon and royal ferns. One handful should treat 6 to 8 ferns. Those using Iron Sulfate would do well to mix one part of salt with nine parts of iron and use half as much of the material when treating such weeds as ferns, haircap moss, sand spurrey, toad rush, asters and pitchforks. This technique reduces the cost of this treatment and eli- minates the necessity of rain in order to make the Iron Sulfate toxic to the various weeds. 2,4-D is still in the experimental stage but appears to be effective in the control of hardhack, meadow sweet, leatherleaf, chokeberry, bay- berry, and loosestrife. Dr. Cross recommends the same type of 2,4-D and the same dilution outlined in the new chart for the control of three square grass. The "hockey stick" technique is still one of the popular methods for applying this chemical to these tall weeds when they extend above the vines. Urea Growers have been very much interested in a high nitrogen fer- tilizer known as Urea. It has been applied on a substantial acreage of bog this spring. Urea can be corn- bined with insecticides and fungi- cides and is non-corrosive to equip- ment according to Dr. Chandler. Vines respond quickly to this chem- ical and the cost is very reasonable. Applications up to 40 pounds per acre have caused no burning of the new growth. For further details on the use of Urea, we sug- gest that the grower see Dr. Chandler. 4-H Cranberry Clubs The prospects for a few 4-H cranberry clubs this season seem a little brighter than they did a few weeks ago. We have a group of tweleve boys in Carver and an- other group of approximately 30 boys and girls in Wareham that have expressed interest in such a project. The problem now is to locate some adult leaders to direct these 4-H cranberry clubs. We feel sure that we can depend on grow- ers to help with this important work. R U T ' 1! AAr 1I D --5 .

Sixteen acres of bog, have just been covered with sprinkler irriga- tion by the A. D. Makepeace Company at bog.*Carver its This, with a six-acre section, with sprinklers installed half a dozen years ago, and a two-acre piece, protected with sprinklers since the early thirties, all in the same area, may be tied in together, making one of the largest sprinkler instal- lations in Massachusetts, oper- ating as a single unit. Leading to the decision to make such extensive installations was the fact that last year the 16-acre area lost much of its crop by a spring frost, while 2 years ago it was hard hit by drought. As a matter of fact, due to inadequate water, producing crops on this particular area of the Carver bog has been for years extremely hazardous. Hence the decision for "insurance" of an overhead water supply. Eight Installed a r e approximately 10,000 feet of pipe and approxi- mately 160 sprinkler heads. Water source is considered entirely adequate, it being an almost natu- ral "sump" provided by throwing a dam across the lower end of the source of the Wankinquoah river. The area was known long ago as "The Slug", there having been an ancient mill near the site. A modern pump house was constructed and this contains a Sterling (Viging) diesel engine of 125 horsepower as power source, and a Fairbanks-Morse turbine pump capable of throwing 1350 gallons of water a minute when operated at 1100 r. p. m. Ten-inch transite pipe leads from pump- house to the bogs. About 15 minutes is required to fill pipes and bring up pressure for efficient operation, 70-75 pounds, giving about 40 pounds at the nozzles. Bog mains are 8" and 6" with laterals of 4" and 2", spaced 80" apart. All pipe is light-weight aluminum of the portable type, planned to be taken in each fall and put out in the spring. Rain Bird Sprinkler mostly No. 40 heads are 600 feet apart on the laterals, each giving a coverage of about 90 feet diameter; a 60x80 foot spacing gives protection to all the vined areas. Pipes are placed directly on the vines, except the mains which are supported by cross ties over the main ditches. Installation of the system was done by Larchmont Engineering of Lexington, assisted by Field-Brook Equipment, Inc. of East Bridge water, using the Shur-Rane irrigation system, although a good deal of the work was done by Make- peace personel. The installation has been used several times this spring for frost control, affording, according to Russell Makpeace, "good frost protection". Makepeace has been operating on the p r i n c i p a 1 of having his foreman at Carver, Eddie Kangas, put the system in operation when the thermometer drops to 30 and to continue sprinkling until it rises above 32.

"Clinics" other meetings, demonstrations, such as that given at Mass. State Bog on air spraying and dusting are opening tactics. This year marks the first 100 years of professional entomology in the United States. We have been training "generals" and minor leaders that long. It is well we have, the insect army isn't less in numbers, or any less in spirit of attack. It was in 1854 that entomology began in this country. Recognition of the need for insect control led, in that year to the ap- pointment of two entomologists to govern- ment positions. Insects have, since early history competed with man for foodstuffs. Earliest cranberry growers 'were troubled with cranberry insects well before 1854. For example, one Augustus E. Leland of Sherborn, in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, who first cultivated about 1830 began to be troubled in 1840. He wrote that "every year since 1840 these (cran- berry) vines had been eaten up as regularly as the year came around by a worm, called in this vicinity the 'cranberry worm.' This worm may be the same, or at least a species of the same worm which operates the last of June in the apple tree . . some seasons they seem to threaten total annihilation, the vines presenting to the eye the same appearance that an or- chard does when its foliage has been eaten by the canker worm. To destory this work (of the worms) the vines were kept under water until the first of July." Other pioneers bitterly complained of "the worm." First two entomologists to be appointed were Townsend Glover for the Federal government, assigned to the patent office. The other, Asa Fitch for New York State. The United States Entomological Com- mission was created in 1876. In the U. S. today about 4.500 men and women are professional entomologists. Pionering in the cranberry field were J. B.

Doehert New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station On New Jersey cranberry bogs, kerosene has been useful in reduc- ing graassescertain and weeds. These weeds have returned to the bog, however, within a couple of years in numbers great enough so that the grower has not realized as much benefict from the kero- sene as he had expected. It has Eighteen that if the growth of cranberry vines could be sufficien- tly stimulated soon after the use of kerosene, the new vine growth might be so increased that weeds would not have the same chance to become re-established. With this in mind, an application of 200 pounds of 8-8-8 per acre was made on August 1, 1953, on a young bog. On June 1, this year, areas so treated had 14 percent more up- rights than unfertilized areas. This is, of course, only a preli- minary result. It is quite likely that if the fertilizer had been ap- plied June 1 instead of August 1, the result would have been consi- derably more benefectial. Or, as and where kertosene has been to killthe weeds it would seem that a desirable rate of ap d on to try wouonebe any of the following quantities: -100 lthatlbs. nitrate of soda, 80 lbs. an-t sulfate, 50 lbs. ammonium 160 lbs. 10-10-10 (ore the in any 1-1-1 ratio). of these quantities, it will be noted, provides 16 pounds of actual nitrogen. For bogs which are too young to bear, these quantities might be used in June and again the first week in August. For bearing bogs, the second treatment should be omitted if there is danger of getting too much vine growth. Normally under conditions which have required the use of kerosene, there would not be much danger of excessive vine growth and the second application could be used. The History Of Prepackaging (The following is reprinted, with permission from Market Growers Journal, as material which may interest cranberrygrowers.) The "Columbus Experiment" is often thought of as the beginning of prepackaging. But a great deal of groundwork had been done earlier, much of it by persons and firms who collaborated in that project. The operation in Columbus, O., was a joint undertaking of A&P and Ohio State Univ. and Exp. Sta., beginning in 1944 and continuing through 1947. Those experiments had the sup port also of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Ohio Boxboard Co., Hussman Refrigeration, Inc., Oliver Machinery Co., Food Machinery Corp., and others. The attention the project attracted, due to the prestige of the factors engaged, served to dramatize the venture and to publicize its successful re- sults. It stimulated active interest in prepackaging more than any- thing that had occurred before, and it provided some needed facts un- der representative commercial con- ditions. Yet a certain amount of pioneering had been under way as much as 20 or 25 years prior to 1944, beginning date of the Colum- bus experiment. Some of this was fundamental research by experiment stations and other agencies dealing with the nature of various wrapping ma- terials and the responses of plant and animal tissues when sealed in these wrappers. For example, in 1928 H. D. Brown, in Mich. Agr. Exp. Sta. Technical Bulletin 87, described a series of tests of the effects of various papers upon the quality of some fruits and vege- tables. Stahl and Vaughan pub- lished one of the earliest official accounts of experimental work in this field in Fla. Exp. Sta. Bulletin WATCH YOU R PROFITS GROW >::ii'iiiii O IRRIGATION DISTRIBUTED BY C.

At the same time a number of commercial trials were going on here and there. Just who should get the nod for pioneering these developments? Mushrooms in consumer- size paperboard boxes have been a familiar item at least since l the late 1920's and brussels sprouts since the mid-30's. Spinach and tomatoes have been growing in popularity as standard prepackaged merchandise since the late 30's. Consumer packaging of citrus fruits got its start in Florida about 1932, and there is now large volume prepackaging of these fruits at both growing-shipping and ter-CRANBERRY GROWERS, Inc. minal market levels. And how long has it been since we saw our first Mead-Witter Bldg. paper and mesh consumer units of potatoes and dry onions? Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin It was in 1932 that J. D.

Growers and shippers were not yet ready to undertake prepack- aging commercially at points of origin. So in 1934 Rankin moved closer to the consumer with his trials. He and Mike Freeman in New York City developed a pre- packaging operation there to supply some of the chain retail outlets. Lettuce packaging had to be discontinued because biding on packageable quality in the New York produce market made prices prohibitive. But the Freeman Pro- duce Co., continued consumer packaging of brussels sprouts with suc- own. plugging along, learning how to do the job, and gradually getting the trade and the consumers acquaint- ed with prepackaged perishables. Acceptance was mounting. Then came the early '40's, and the war, Prepackaging supplies were almost unobtainable, and de- velopments slowed to a walk. But A&P's experimental project in Columbus, under Frank McGeough, coupled with the work of the Amer- ican Stores under Paul Cupp in Kearny, N. J., gave the industry a shot in the arm. The middle and late '40's saw a big pickup in interest and activity. Central packing in receiving markets began to grow again and has since reached large proportions. Tomato prepacking, which had been a hand operation for a few years previously, became large scale in many large cities with introduction of automatic over- wrapping equipment. Paul Dick- u m n L.

The advantage would be rather in favor of the medical proposition, as there are schools for study and practice with moderate charges for tuition.
