For example early afternoon) without damage to flowers or berries. They were used to relieve drought conditions and even the lowgallonage systems did this effectively. There is a notice able increase in the size of berries on sprinkler bogs, and there are as many or more berries on such bogs by count. The growth of cranberry vines in such a summer of excessive sunshine tends to be xexcessive on s sprinkler bogs. It seems at presentthat fertilizer use should be sharply curtailed on such bogs since both the fertilizer and the supplemental water appear to produce increased vine-growth. Those with sprinklersusing their systems one to five or more times d-uring the summer. Drought conditions have varied widely in the cranberry area itself, but until we have better information, it would seem to be good judgment use the sprinklers no ftener than to use the no oftener than once a week, but apply a minimum of / to 3/4 inch each time it is run. EEK CHINK IN INSECT'S ARMOR Almost everybody has heard about man-made chemicals intended to control them. It's no-less familiar story, but an ever-changing one, to the men and women dedicated to protecting men and animals from insect-borne di seses and safeguarding crops and stored food from insect contamination. The frustrating problems of resis tance has started a whole new chain of investigation among entomologists such as those at Rutgers' College of Agriculture, New Brunswick, New Jersey. One group and supported financially by the Federal government is delving into the complex body chemistry of the house fly. The goal is to find out the mechanism the fly used to transform its new chemical foes, such as DDT and others into harmless substances. Once they have unlocked the secret of fly resistance it could be on the way toward applying the findings to other insects as well. (Report from Rutgers) Three' High near theend July the ~~~~~Prospects Seemed , T of7report Craermberry It is generally conceded that the near the end of July the Cranberry 1963 crop of cranberries in Massa-Station measured 2 inches in ne clhusetts could have equalled the storm, but recorded only 2.70 inches large crop of 1962 if certain adverse for the month as a whole. Drying crop of 1962 if certain adverse t hd nt hwas severe in June and July because factors had not hurt the possibilities. In general, the vines budded well last fall, the picking machines are not damaging the vines as much as the scoops did, the cool, dry summer of 1962 gave us excessive sunshine which with a moderately dry grow- ing season always gives us our best build-up for the next crop. Fall rains Ingenertof normal and above temperatures t a damage is readily found on manr iogs. Those with new sprinkler systems now feel the great advantage of these devices in a summer like this one. On a few days in June and early July, bog temperatures went well over 100 0F Where this happened in in 1962, while wih thetoloom, interfering especially on theof and '62 harvest, were frequent and heavy and kept the newly-harvested vines from drying out.

Furthermore, it is apparent that all three major drawbacks are the result of faulty or inadequate control of water on our bogs. I have indicated this defect with my best effort since early 1961. Those who have installed sprinklers since then RATESare happy they did so. More growers onRequest must soon decide on this invest- ent, fr without it crops will not be good enough to show profits.

Second Class Postage Paid at WareSaam, Massachusetts FRESH FROM THE FIELDS M ASSACHUSETTS July Tough Month July, and especially late July, was a hard month for growers, with drought and intense, humid, heat prevailing. All month long growers sought to overcome the lack of rain, as the last precipitation of conse- quence had been June 21. Until the 29th of July, precipitation was only .69 inch. Precipitation, since the first of the year, Dr. C. E. Cross of the Experiment Station estimated, had been only about one-quarter of nor- mal. Early, and mid-July, although dry had not been too high in tempera- tures on the whole, but from the 24th to the 29th, there were six solid days with temperatures in the open in the 90's and approaching the 100 mark. These were temperatures with extremely high humidity. Caused 'by a Bermuda High over New England, which refused to budge, the weather was extremely uncomfortable, and was described by some weather men as "Texas weather," hot all night and hotter all day." Dewpoints were as much as 20 points higher than normal.

Critical Drought The drought really began the last week in June and from that time on growers were raising water in ditch- es, using "open-end" hose or pipe, dangerously flashflooding, and of course, the increasing number of sprinkler systems were kept in use. Considerable amounts of water were used. Water Gave Out By the 27th, however, water in reservoirs, ponds and streams was becoming non-existant, and even sprinkler systems were in danger of being without a water source. 10,000 BBLS.

This news and the critical drought situation of the cranberry growers was broadcast, with bog pictures, 'by a Boston TV station, Massachusetts Assistant Secretary Charles F. Spem'ut, being interviewed. Sudden Heavy Rain On the 29th weathermen forecast a break in the torrid weather and likely rain. This rain came over the cranberry area early on the morning of the 30th, and the rain continued until about noon. It came in slanting torrents resembling a hurricane, and indeed it was a sort of tropical storm with the torrid weather. A total precipitation of 2.01 inches was measured at State Bog, with more falling in other areas and less in some others. This brought the total for July to 2.70, average is 3.24.

On the Pacific, nearly 3,000 miles, from the bogs of Massachusetts 'and New Jersey, where cranberry cultivation originated, the American cranberry of corn- merce, is being grown with increasing success. These articles will not strive t b too technical, but will concern more mountains. You see these when you look to the north 'and also the moun tains of vast Vancouver Island 30 miles out in the Pacific. In no other bog can you see the high ,towers of a huge city, Vancouver.

If I make errors, I hope some kind West Coast reader, willre cranberry My previous visits were in 1944 'and again in 1949. Then whhat might be called the "Battle -of the Co-ops' was in full swing; that is the struggle be- tween Amel~rician Cra~n'bIerry Exchange, Inc. (later Eatmor Cranberries, Inc.) and National Cranberry Assooia'tion, (earlier Cranberry Canners, Inc.) now Ocean Spray !Cranberries, -Inc. The struggle was to obtain Coast member- ship and barrelage, by the two "big co-ops," both of eastern origin. Today, nearly all growers are members of Ocean Spray. Many Changes There have 'been many changes since the earlier visits, as is only to 'be expected. However, one thing remained unchanged. Thait is, the friendliness -and hospitality of these far western growers. 'In fact, their hospitality all b u t overwhelmed. They invited 'us into their homes- to see their cranberry holdings, All-Time High, So Far We were whirled from area to area, from Lulu Island, Vancouver, British Columbia to Bandon Oregon. These growers are proud of their bogs, as well they may be. The West Coast did become consistently higher in production per ialcre than the average U. S. bog; even as far back as 1924. The Coast was usually the leader in this respect, until Wisconsin jumped into the lead a few years back. Generally speaking, in recent times, production per acre is led by Wisconsin, with Washing- ton second and Oregon third. The Washington high of 1961 with 125.5 barrels per acre, so far is the all- time high for any state. Oregon's peak was in 1940 with 87.9, and 86.1 in 1956; 81.1 in 1961. The statistics should be accurate, impressions m a y nob Cranberry growing on the West Coast is a thin, red line, stretching along the edge of the Pacific from Lulu Island, which by Clarence J. Hall *Clarence J.Hall28 Hmiles a suburb of Greater Vancouver, to a few miles south of Bandon in south- western Oregon, perhaps 900 miles as the icrow or airplane would fly, imuch more by road. This is a lot of territory to cover in the short time we alloted for the visit. Information Sources Sources of information for this series include, two surveys made by Dr. F. B. Chandler of the Massa- chusetts Cranberry Experiment Sta- tion. One is his "Cranberries in Washington," published in 1956, following a visit and the other "A Survey of Oregon's Cranberry In- dustry," published in 1957, after a second visit; USDA statistics, ex- periment station publications, back files of Cranberry Magazine, and more freshly, interviews on the trip, and assistance from a number of growers afd others with know- ledge of West Coast cranberry grow- ing. There has never been a survey of Lulu Island cranberry growing that I aim aware of, and I am not at- tempting a real survey of this unique area, which was our first point of call. Coast Very Different The whole Coast is different than other cranberry-growing areas. For instances, you cannot stand on a cranberry 'bog in Massachusetts or nearlythe entire cranberry produc produection is from ia single vast peat bog, in a swale between the ooastal sand dunes, and there each grower has his own piece of bog, divided from .. . h neighbor by a ditch only. Long Beach area, Washington, is the most ihome-like to eastern eyes. In fact, the Long Beach Peninsula, of continuous beach, is called the "longes't beach in the world," and 'the sand is :so hard- packed that automobiles run up and down it; there are dunes of sand, and it has been called "The Calpe Cod of the West." Lulu Island is approxiimately at the 50th parallel of north latitude and is north of the bogs of Nova Scotia. At Bandon, Oregon, which is at about the same latitude as Cape May in 'New Jersey, you see palm and bamboo (imported) growing, thousands of wild rhododendrons, very beautiful. Snow is an extreme rarity. All of the Pacific Northwest is warmed by the Japanese Current, which lcuts in sharply. Much of the vegetation is extremely lush, and 'may be described as all but subtrofpical. Winters in t h e Pacific Northwest are extremely rainy, the 'greatest rainfall in the U. S. being in the Olympic Mountains, not very far from Grayland. Summers are dry and often almost cool at times. Flowers Bloom At Christmas The flowers are still in bloom at Christmas, s p r i n g flowers (and weeds) appear much earlier than in other cranberry areas; the blooming period for cranberries is much longer; the crop is picked later, extending generally into November. In the Pacific Northwest the trees tower mightily into the sky, Douglas Nine A spray rig in operation at Discher Bog at Grayland, Washington. land 'has 'been timibered off. Log- g~ing, however, continues 'at a great clip; log 'booms are to be seen in nearly every estuary, greiat tree bctcts, more than a yard' in diameter roll along the 'highways in huge lumber conveyors, sawmills belch smoke. This is still, in some re- spects, 'primitive, pionnering coun- try. Yet, while cranberry 'growers of the Coast as 'a generail run, are not much richer than cranberry growers elsewhere, it is amazing how many have ithoroughly m od e rn homes, m'any of ithese at bogside. Usually sinigle-storied, flat or shed-roofed, these homes contain many beautiful woods in exterior 'and interior finish. Private dwellings, I was told, are 'cheaper to build ouit there. They are nearer the source of supply of these woods. Also electric power rates are much lower, so that about every house is coimpletely electrified, from electric coffee pot, to electric heating. They also do not have cellars. Much glass is used 'and unusual woods from the Te^i Orient also a nearer supply source, tihan on the East Coast. Again, many of the cranberry men build their homes with their own ingenuity and laibor. I was told by one such cran- 'berryman. "We get ;an idea of what we want, 'the kind of house and the kind of iarrangement of everything in it. We do not 'hire an architect, "we just go along, working out of our heads." Likely, 'the most impressive of these is the maignificant, modern home of iMr. and ;Mrs. Frank 0. Glenn of 'aimazing Crainguyma Farms at Long Beach. Cranguymai will be taken up in a later article. Bogs On Hills To get back more specifically to cranberry growing, some bogs in the Bandon area 'are built on hills and on hillsides, not on flaits. One 'bog, about three 'miles fro~m the Pacific is on a hill (top about 300 feet high. A number of the B'andon area growers "terrace" their bogs, that is each section is lower than the next one. Water is scarce in the summer. This terracing enables the (CRANBERRIES PHOTO) grower to drop water down from level 'to level for re-use, in the (water-reel h~arves'ting, which is tfhe prinicipal 'harvest method. Incidentally, some Oregon growers think it is ridiculous for East Coast growers to harvest "dry," 'and to lose 20 percent or more of the crop. Of course, as has been published in {previous issues of Cranberries Magazine, New Jersey has gone in largely for water-reel hairvest the past year or two. In Massachusetts last year (notaibly lby David Mann, Head-of-Bay Road, B'uzzards Bay) extensively tfried out waiter raking, 'but in the Wisconsin method ('by "mechanical scoops," Dana -Get- singer picking miachines).

Ditches often have boarded sides ,and sometimes also boarded tops, in both margin and cross ditches. In marginal ditches these boards retain earth material and also help prevent bogside weeds from spreading onto the bogs. Also, in the other areas not many bog railways are used, Grayland is a notable example of the use of railways. More details on all these West Coast practices, including the use of aluminum dikes will 'appear in fol- lowing articles. All along the cranberry areas there flares -the brilliant yellow of the :Scotch Broom and the Irish Furz, the'latter a distinct fire men- ance.

There is no bog, that I know of, where a hundred or m ore peacocks strut and scream about the shores except at Cranguyma. These birds serve no practical purpose. At the Big Red Cranberry Company, Ltd. at Lulu there are employed gangs of Chinese women hand weeders.

(CRANBERRIES Photo) To "'get down to cases," im 1961, Was:hington produced 139 000 barrels, the high production of the "Evergreen State." Oregon in 1961 'produced 45,400 barrels, last year 34,000; Washington 55,000 but 1962 was an "off year," (as far as the Coast was concerned. Growing conditions simply were not right. And, then on Columbus Day came "Freda," which was possibly a typhoon with winds exceeding 150 miles an hour, similiar in destruction to the hurricanes which have swept the cranberry iareas of Massachusetts and New Jersey. Berries, boomed by the water reel method, were [blown right out of the bogs land 'the vines were piled with the debris of fallen shrubs and Eleven Sump at bog of Newkirk & Chabot traces of "Freda" are still in evi- dence. Of the 1961 production, Washing- ton sold 115,800 barrels 'as processed fruit 'and fresh, 23,200; Oregon, 20,- 200 processed and fresh 6,100 (USDA figures). All berries sold of the Washington crop were produced in the Grayland area. I do not yet have figures as to processed and fresh Oregon sales for the 1962 crop, 'but expect to ha've in subse- quent articles, More Sold Fresh Right here, it should 'be said that West Coast growers are striving to increase quality and want to have a larger propotion of production go fresh. It (mig'ht seem this could be accomplished this fall with the new cooler storage room at the Ocean Spray plant at Markham, Washing- ton, where all West C'past berries eventually wind up. To get backj to the growth of cranberry growing on the Pacific Coast; in 1924 West Coast acreage (USDA figure) both Washington and Oregon was 570 and production was Twelve on Long Beach Peninsula, Washington. (CRANBERRIES Photo> 14,000 barrels; even then barrels per acre were 24.6, with the US average 22.2. By 1940 acreage had increased to 840 with production to 27,000 barrels per acre that year were 44.6, below the US average of 48.4. By 1950 the acreage was 1,000, iproduction 47,700; average produc- tion on the Coast per acre, 42.2. In the decade of the 50's, Washington production average was 62,400 and that of Oregon 32,490. La~test figure^ (1962) for har- vested acreage shows Washington has 1,100 acres and Oregon 560. Of this Washington acreage the Long Beach area has about 400 acres; Grayland about 600, while the so- called and relativey newer "North Beach" has something less than 100. (These figures were provided by the Coastal Washington Experi- meat Station at 'Long Beach.) Of production the Long Beach area. produced 35 to 40 percent, while the balance is grown in G~rayland and the "Nortah Beach" district, As to acreage, or produiction there seem to be no officiail figures for Lu'lu Island. However, the Big Red, operated by the "Three Yanks from Catcver, Mass., "Norm" Holmes, "Fritz" Shaw 'and "Jimmy" Thorn- as, who migrated to Canada in 1954 (and about whom and their holding more will appear later) has 106 acres in vines. 'North American Peat Company, Ltd. has about 18 acres of new bog; Bell Farms, Ltd. has 67 in vines; Shaw has 3 of his own, Thomas Yardley, a veteran grower of Lulu has about 4. Several others have what they call "home" or "'back yard" bogs of a few rods. Total at Lulu is therefore figured at about 175 acres. Production has not yet exceeded 5,000 barrels. Most of these Lulu growers, and all the larger ones sell through Ocean Spray Cranberries, Ltd. of Cianada, a subsiduary of 0 c e a n Spray, and they are therefore not direct stockholders of the big TJ. S. co-op. Some additionail acreage is 'going in, and there is very abundant ~cranberry la~nd potentia~l. Conse ALUMINUM dike at Rudell's bog, quently, production could be sub- stantial. So far, there have been frosts or other adverse weather conditions, but, I was told "this could be the year," which, of course, is the hope of all who grow a crop of any kind. Most Coast Growers Small These West Coast growers with a few exceptions are growers with small holdings; the exceptions being the two big (bogs at Lulu, COranguy- ma, at Long Bearh and the Dellinger bog in Clatsop County, Oregon. Figures compiled by Mrs. Irene 'HIolligsworth, serretairy at t h e Markham plant, assisted by Super- intendent Wilho Ross land M r s. Maude O'Brien, show that present production per bog is approximately 350 barrels at Grayland and 714 at Long Beach. This discrepency is explained by the fact that Chandler Bandon, Oregon, designed to flood percent of the planted cranbeary land, Grayland has 83 percent of the growers and 61 percent of the land," Which means that Long Beach holdings are generally larger. Situation has not changed too much since then. While this may be disputed, it s e e m s probable that Grayland growers on the average, produce more to the acre than do those of Long Beach district. In regard to Oregon, Chandler found that 59 percent of the growers had 3 acres or less 'and 77 pescent had 4 or less and only 17 percent had more than five acres. Growers Have Other Incomes A large majority of the growers of bith Washington and Oregon need other sources of income than cran- 'berry growing. Some work at log- 'ging, some work in sawmills, a in his Washington survey found ,that number go salmon fishing in sea- "the relative size of holdings, (in son, many cater to the thriving Washington) may be expressed in summer tourist trade at Grayland, the statement that Long Beacn has Long Beach and Bandon.

Ambition It is my impression and strong belief that 'it is the ambition of many to !berome full-time oran berrymen. I was told this many times. With the high acreage production 'it is felt that 15 or maybe even 12 acres would make bog holdings, wholely self sustaining for a grower. With the few exceptions already noted, only a handful own as mhch as 18 acres today. In all areas there is now a de finite movement among the more progressive to consolidate holdings, especially at Grayland, to acqhire more pieces of bog, even though hey do not adjourn on the single, vast peat swale. This is going on also at Long Beach 'and at Bandon, where some new bog is being put in. Actually, a little new acreage is being put in, in at all areas- more than is being abandoned. Fewer Growers In most cranberry areas, as is Tlirteen true in iall i arfarming, the-number of growers is tending to be fewer, but each grower with larger holdings. On the first visit in 1944 the best estimate obtainable -as to the num- her of growers was a'bout 250 on the entire Coast. Chandler in his 1956-57 surveys received replies to question- aires from 227 growers in Washing- ton and in Oregon contacted 142, for a total of 379. The Cranberry Insti- tute in 1962 for te referendum on the marketing order had a total of 340, in Washington 205 and 135 in Oregon. Thus it would seekm growers in- creased in numibers from the 40's to mid 50's, but have slightly de- creased since. More exact figures may be expected as this series goes along. ttl Control Little There is very ~little .application of chemicals from the air on the Coast, but some, which is unlike the east Coast.

"As the result of a ,research and development program sponsored by the date growers under a Federal marketing >order a whole new family of date products is on the market, and export markets for California dates have been developed where none existed before. "The new date products have in- creased in annual sale to manu- facturers from about 700,000 pounds in the 1954-56 season to nearly 8 million pounds in the 1961-62 season.

It was found this process could 'also change dry dates into softer, smoother, high-quality dates. From this, it is thought this process may artificially ripen dates, and thus eventually allow growers to harvest all of the dates at once, instead of having to climb the date trees for harvest several times. Article concluded, "the date story is a graphic example of the value of a program tailored to the industry's needs by the industry itself- and the average .price per ton in 1961-62 was more than 50 percent higher than in 1954, the last season before the order was adopted."

Overall temperatures averaged from 4 to 6 de grees above normal and precipitation was well over normal in the south, below normal in the northeast and well below normal in the northwest. The outlook for August calls for about normal in temperature and precipitation. Season Ahead The rain that came on the th was most beneficial as the vines were coming out of bloom and even the heavier soils were getting quite dry. Irrigation had been practiced on sandier marshes prior to the rain and also on new plantings and mowed areas. Set counts the latter part of the month showed an average of from 40 to 50 per cent. This could be attributed to the ideal weather during bloom. For the most part the above normal temperatures in June and early July forced the bloom and many marshes were in full bloom the first week of the month or an average of one week to ten days ahead of normal. The rains were helping to size the berries and also coupled with the above normal tem( peratures stimulated vine growth naturally weed and grass growth.

Chloro IPC is ap- plied while the plants are dormant. It is completely dissipated before the fruit ever appears, so there's no residue problem.

As this issue is printed the USDA preliminary forecast has not been given out. We would not attempt to pre-estimate the statisticians, and besides the size of a crop is never known until the last pickable berry is in. But we do hear knowledgeable "guessimates," that the crop "looks like somewhere around a million, three, (1,300,000 barrels) plus the carryover of September 1." August is also the month of meetings, the "big" Massachusetts meeting of the year, that of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association at the State Bog, is scheduled for August 29th. This date is about ten days later than usual, and isry mainly that a report of the Marketing Com- mittee meeting at Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, August 26, 27 may be given. At this meeting the Committee will make the big decision as to what part, if any, of the crop will be the "set-aside," or berries restricted from the normal channels of sale. Last year the "set-aside" was 12 percent. It is determined by the prospective size of the crop and what portion of it can be satisfactoraly marketed, at rea- sonable returns to the growers. Then there is the meeting of Ocean Spray directors also at the Rapids on August 23 and of the Cranberry Institute directors there on the 24th. "Cranberry eyes and ears" will be on the Rapids in August. There was also the meeting of the Wisconsin State 'Cranberry Growers' Asso- ciation at the Rapids on August 7th, and the summer meeting of the American Cran- berry Growers' Association is to be held in bNew GrowJersey on the 29th. itobhdiscussions While on the subject of these grow- ers' meeting, we might repeat again, that we believe there is considerable merit in a suggestion made by Orrin G. Colley, president of the Institute that some sort of a "marketing seminar," be held in con- junction with these area summer meetings. At that time all handlers, Ocean Spray CLARENCE J.

MARUCCI New Jersey Cranberry and Blueberry Station Pemberton, New Jersey and Independents might like to express their opinion and to give their marketing plans for the coming crop. We think these would be of interest to all growers coming just at the start of the marketing season. These sessions could scarcely be held on the same day of the area meetings, but the thought has been put forward they might be on a preceding or following day. The idea is not to interfere in any way with the firmly established summer growers' meetings, but at that time growers are assembled.

Drought Damage Drought Damage Since April, the rainfall in south- eastern Massachusetts has tended to come in heavy downpours at very infrequent intervals. For example early afternoon) without damage to flowers or berries. They were used to relieve drought conditions and even the lowgallonage systems did this effectively. There is a notice able increase in the size of berries on sprinkler bogs, and there are as many or more berries on such bogs by count. The growth of cranberry vines in such a summer of excessive sunshine tends to be xexcessive on s sprinkler bogs. It seems at presentthat fertilizer use should be sharply curtailed on such bogs since both the fertilizer and the supplemental water appear to produce increased vine-growth. Those with sprinklersusing their systems one to five or more times d-uring the summer. Drought conditions have varied widely in the cranberry area itself, but until we have better information, it would seem to be good judgment use the sprinklers no ftener than to use the no oftener than once a week, but apply a minimum of / to 3/4 inch each time it is run. EEK CHINK IN INSECT'S ARMOR Almost everybody has heard about man-made chemicals intended to control them. It's no-less familiar story, but an ever-changing one, to the men and women dedicated to protecting men and animals from insect-borne di seses and safeguarding crops and stored food from insect contamination. The frustrating problems of resis tance has started a whole new chain of investigation among entomologists such as those at Rutgers' College of Agriculture, New Brunswick, New Jersey. One group and supported financially by the Federal government is delving into the complex body chemistry of the house fly. The goal is to find out the mechanism the fly used to transform its new chemical foes, such as DDT and others into harmless substances. Once they have unlocked the secret of fly resistance it could be on the way toward applying the findings to other insects as well. (Report from Rutgers) Three' High near theend July the ~~~~~Prospects Seemed , T of7report Craermberry It is generally conceded that the near the end of July the Cranberry 1963 crop of cranberries in Massa-Station measured 2 inches in ne clhusetts could have equalled the storm, but recorded only 2.70 inches large crop of 1962 if certain adverse for the month as a whole. Drying crop of 1962 if certain adverse t hd nt hwas severe in June and July because factors had not hurt the possibilities. In general, the vines budded well last fall, the picking machines are not damaging the vines as much as the scoops did, the cool, dry summer of 1962 gave us excessive sunshine which with a moderately dry grow- ing season always gives us our best build-up for the next crop. Fall rains Ingenertof normal and above temperatures t a damage is readily found on manr iogs. Those with new sprinkler systems now feel the great advantage of these devices in a summer like this one. On a few days in June and early July, bog temperatures went well over 100 0F Where this happened in in 1962, while wih thetoloom, interfering especially on theof and '62 harvest, were frequent and heavy and kept the newly-harvested vines from drying out.

Furthermore, it is apparent that all three major drawbacks are the result of faulty or inadequate control of water on our bogs. I have indicated this defect with my best effort since early 1961.

Second Class Postage Paid at WareSaam, Massachusetts FRESH FROM THE FIELDS M ASSACHUSETTS July Tough Month July, and especially late July, was a hard month for growers, with drought and intense, humid, heat prevailing. All month long growers sought to overcome the lack of rain, as the last precipitation of conse- quence had been June 21. Until the 29th of July, precipitation was only .69 inch. Precipitation, since the first of the year, Dr. C. E. Cross of the Experiment Station estimated, had been only about one-quarter of nor- mal. Early, and mid-July, although dry had not been too high in tempera- tures on the whole, but from the 24th to the 29th, there were six solid days with temperatures in the open in the 90's and approaching the 100 mark. These were temperatures with extremely high humidity. Caused 'by a Bermuda High over New England, which refused to budge, the weather was extremely uncomfortable, and was described by some weather men as "Texas weather" hot all night and hotter all day." Dewpoints were as much as 20 points higher than normal.

Critical Drought The drought really began the last week in June and from that time on growers were raising water in ditch- es, using "open-end" hose or pipe, dangerously flashflooding, and of course, the increasing number of sprinkler systems were kept in use. Considerable amounts of water were used. Water Gave Out By the 27th, however, water in reservoirs, ponds and streams was becoming non-existant, and even sprinkler systems were in danger of being without a water source. 10,000 BBLS.

This rain came over the cranberry area early on the morning of the 30th, and the rain continued until about noon. It came in slanting torrents resembling a hurricane, and indeed it was a sort of tropical storm with the torrid weather. A total precipitation of 2.01 inches was measured at State Bog, with more falling in other areas and less in some others. This brought the total for July to 2.70, average is 3.24.

Then whhat might be called the "Battle -of the Co-ops' was in full swing; that is the struggle be- tween Amel~rician Cra~n'bIerry Exchange, Inc. (later Eatmor Cranberries, Inc.) and National Cranberry Assooia'tion, (earlier Cranberry Canners, Inc.) now Ocean Spray !Cranberries, -Inc. The struggle was to obtain Coast member- ship and barrelage, by the two "big co-ops" both of eastern origin. Today, nearly all growers are members of Ocean Spray. Many Changes There have 'been many changes since the earlier visits, as is only to 'be expected. However, one thing remained unchanged. Thait is, the friendliness -and hospitality of these far western growers. 'In fact, their hospitality all b u t overwhelmed. They invited 'us into their homes- to see their cranberry holdings, All-Time High, So Far We were whirled from area to area, from Lulu Island, Vancouver, British Columbia to Bandon Oregon. These growers are proud of their bogs, as well they may be. The West Coast did become consistently higher in production per ialcre than the average U. S. bog; even as far back as 1924. The Coast was usually the leader in this respect, until Wisconsin jumped into the lead a few years back. Generally speaking, in recent times, production per acre is led by Wisconsin, with Washing- ton second and Oregon third. The Washington high of 1961 with 125.5 barrels per acre, so far is the all- time high for any state. Oregon's peak was in 1940 with 87.9, and 86.1 in 1956; 81.1 in 1961. The statistics should be accurate, impressions m a y nob Cranberry growing on the West Coast is a thin, red line, stretching along the edge of the Pacific from Lulu Island, which by Clarence J. Hall *Clarence J.Hall28 Hmiles a suburb of Greater Vancouver, to a few miles south of Bandon in south- western Oregon, perhaps 900 miles as the icrow or airplane would fly, imuch more by road. This is a lot of territory to cover in the short time we alloted for the visit. Information Sources Sources of information for this series include, two surveys made by Dr. F. B. Chandler of the Massa- chusetts Cranberry Experiment Sta- tion. One is his "Cranberries in Washington" published in 1956, following a visit and the other "A Survey of Oregon's Cranberry In- dustry" published in 1957, after a second visit; USDA statistics, ex- periment station publications, back files of Cranberry Magazine, and more freshly, interviews on the trip, and assistance from a number of growers afd others with know- ledge of West Coast cranberry grow- ing. There has never been a survey of Lulu Island cranberry growing that I aim aware of, and I am not at- tempting a real survey of this unique area, which was our first point of call. Coast Very Different The whole Coast is different than other cranberry-growing areas. For instances, you cannot stand on a cranberry 'bog in Massachusetts or nearlythe entire cranberry produc produection is from ia single vast peat bog, in a swale between the ooastal sand dunes, and there each grower has his own piece of bog, divided from .. . h neighbor by a ditch only. Long Beach area, Washington, is the most ihome-like to eastern eyes. In fact, the Long Beach Peninsula, of continuous beach, is called the "longes't beach in the world" and 'the sand is :so hard- packed that automobiles run up and down it; there are dunes of sand, and it has been called "The Calpe Cod of the West." Lulu Island is approxiimately at the 50th parallel of north latitude and is north of the bogs of Nova Scotia. At Bandon, Oregon, which is at about the same latitude as Cape May in 'New Jersey, you see palm and bamboo (imported) growing, thousands of wild rhododendrons, very beautiful. Snow is an extreme rarity. All of the Pacific Northwest is warmed by the Japanese Current, which lcuts in sharply. Much of the vegetation is extremely lush, and 'may be described as all but subtrofpical. Winters in t h e Pacific Northwest are extremely rainy, the 'greatest rainfall in the U. S. being in the Olympic Mountains, not very far from Grayland. Summers are dry and often almost cool at times. Flowers Bloom At Christmas The flowers are still in bloom at Christmas, s p r i n g flowers (and weeds) appear much earlier than in other cranberry areas; the blooming period for cranberries is much longer; the crop is picked later, extending generally into November. In the Pacific Northwest the trees tower mightily into the sky, Douglas Nine A spray rig in operation at Discher Bog at Grayland, Washington. land 'has 'been timibered off. Log- g~ing, however, continues 'at a great clip; log 'booms are to be seen in nearly every estuary, greiat tree bctcts, more than a yard' in diameter roll along the 'highways in huge lumber conveyors, sawmills belch smoke. This is still, in some re- spects, 'primitive, pionnering coun- try. Yet, while cranberry 'growers of the Coast as 'a generail run, are not much richer than cranberry growers elsewhere, it is amazing how many have ithoroughly m od e rn homes, m'any of ithese at bogside. Usually sinigle-storied, flat or shed-roofed, these homes contain many beautiful woods in exterior 'and interior finish. Private dwellings, I was told, are 'cheaper to build ouit there. They are nearer the source of supply of these woods. Also electric power rates are much lower, so that about every house is coimpletely electrified, from electric coffee pot, to electric heating. They also do not have cellars. Much glass is used 'and unusual woods from the Te^i Orient also a nearer supply source, tihan on the East Coast. Again, many of the cranberry men build their homes with their own ingenuity and laibor. I was told by one such cran- 'berryman. "We get ;an idea of what we want, 'the kind of house and the kind of iarrangement of everything in it. We do not 'hire an architect, "we just go along, working out of our heads." Likely, 'the most impressive of these is the maignificant, modern home of iMr. and ;Mrs. Frank 0. Glenn of 'aimazing Crainguyma Farms at Long Beach. Cranguymai will be taken up in a later article. Bogs On Hills To get back more specifically to cranberry growing, some bogs in the Bandon area 'are built on hills and on hillsides, not on flaits. One 'bog, about three 'miles fro~m the Pacific is on a hill (top about 300 feet high. A number of the B'andon area growers "terrace" their bogs, that is each section is lower than the next one. Water is scarce in the summer. This terracing enables the (CRANBERRIES PHOTO) grower to drop water down from level 'to level for re-use, in the (water-reel h~arves'ting, which is tfhe prinicipal 'harvest method. Incidentally, some Oregon growers think it is ridiculous for East Coast growers to harvest "dry" 'and to lose 20 percent or more of the crop. Of course, as has been published in {previous issues of Cranberries Magazine, New Jersey has gone in largely for water-reel hairvest the past year or two.

Ditches often have boarded sides ,and sometimes also boarded tops, in both margin and cross ditches. In marginal ditches these boards retain earth material and also help prevent bogside weeds from spreading onto the bogs. Also, in the other areas not many bog railways are used, Grayland is a notable example of the use of railways. More details on all these West Coast practices, including the use of aluminum dikes will 'appear in fol- lowing articles.

There is no bog, that I know of, where a hundred or m ore peacocks strut and scream about the shores except at Cranguyma. These birds serve no practical purpose. At the Big Red Cranberry Company, Ltd. at Lulu there are employed gangs of Chinese women hand weeders. When cranberry bogs were first built at the Long Beach, Washing- mountains, such as the low Coastal ton, Chinese labor was employed. Range through Oregon, there are The Chinese women weeders at Big at Grayland, Washington. (CRANBERRIES Photo) To "'get down to cases" im 1961, Was:hington produced 139 000 barrels, the high production of the "Evergreen State." Oregon in 1961 'produced 45,400 barrels, last year 34,000; Washington 55,000 but 1962 was an "off year" (as far as the Coast was concerned. Growing conditions simply were not right. And, then on Columbus Day came "Freda" which was possibly a typhoon with winds exceeding 150 miles an hour, similiar in destruction to the hurricanes which have swept the cranberry iareas of Massachusetts and New Jersey. Berries, boomed by the water reel method, were [blown right out of the bogs land 'the vines were piled with the debris of fallen shrubs and Eleven Sump at bog of Newkirk & Chabot traces of "Freda" are still in evi- dence. Of the 1961 production, Washing- ton sold 115,800 barrels 'as processed fruit 'and fresh, 23,200; Oregon, 20,- 200 processed and fresh 6,100 (USDA figures). All berries sold of the Washington crop were produced in the Grayland area. I do not yet have figures as to processed and fresh Oregon sales for the 1962 crop, 'but expect to ha've in subse- quent articles, More Sold Fresh Right here, it should 'be said that West Coast growers are striving to increase quality and want to have a larger propotion of production go fresh. It (mig'ht seem this could be accomplished this fall with the new cooler storage room at the Ocean Spray plant at Markham, Washing- ton, where all West C'past berries eventually wind up. To get backj to the growth of cranberry growing on the Pacific Coast; in 1924 West Coast acreage (USDA figure) both Washington and Oregon was 570 and production was Twelve on Long Beach Peninsula, Washington. (CRANBERRIES Photo> 14,000 barrels; even then barrels per acre were 24.6, with the US average 22.2. By 1940 acreage had increased to 840 with production to 27,000 barrels per acre that year were 44.6, below the US average of 48.4. By 1950 the acreage was 1,000, iproduction 47,700; average produc- tion on the Coast per acre, 42.2. In the decade of the 50's, Washington production average was 62,400 and that of Oregon 32,490. La~test figure^ (1962) for har- vested acreage shows Washington has 1,100 acres and Oregon 560. Of this Washington acreage the Long Beach area has about 400 acres; Grayland about 600, while the so- called and relativey newer "North Beach" has something less than 100. (These figures were provided by the Coastal Washington Experi- meat Station at 'Long Beach.) Of production the Long Beach area. produced 35 to 40 percent, while the balance is grown in G~rayland and the "Nortah Beach" district, As to acreage, or produiction there seem to be no officiail figures for Lu'lu Island. However, the Big Red, operated by the "Three Yanks from Catcver, Mass., "Norm" Holmes, "Fritz" Shaw 'and "Jimmy" Thorn- as, who migrated to Canada in 1954 (and about whom and their holding more will appear later) has 106 acres in vines. 'North American Peat Company, Ltd. has about 18 acres of new bog; Bell Farms, Ltd. has 67 in vines; Shaw has 3 of his own, Thomas Yardley, a veteran grower of Lulu has about 4. Several others have what they call "home" or "'back yard" bogs of a few rods. Total at Lulu is therefore figured at about 175 acres. Production has not yet exceeded 5,000 barrels. Most of these Lulu growers, and all the larger ones sell through Ocean Spray Cranberries, Ltd. of Cianada, a subsiduary of 0 c e a n Spray, and they are therefore not direct stockholders of the big TJ. S. co-op. Some additionail acreage is 'going in, and there is very abundant ~cranberry la~nd potentia~l. Conse ALUMINUM dike at Rudell's bog, quently, production could be sub- stantial. So far, there have been frosts or other adverse weather conditions, but, I was told "this could be the year" which, of course, is the hope of all who grow a crop of any kind. Most Coast Growers Small These West Coast growers with a few exceptions are growers with small holdings; the exceptions being the two big (bogs at Lulu, COranguy- ma, at Long Bearh and the Dellinger bog in Clatsop County, Oregon. Figures compiled by Mrs. Irene 'HIolligsworth, serretairy at t h e Markham plant, assisted by Super- intendent Wilho Ross land M r s. Maude O'Brien, show that present production per bog is approximately 350 barrels at Grayland and 714 at Long Beach. This discrepency is explained by the fact that Chandler Bandon, Oregon, designed to flood percent of the planted cranbeary land, Grayland has 83 percent of the growers and 61 percent of the land" Which means that Long Beach holdings are generally larger. Situation has not changed too much since then. While this may be disputed, it s e e m s probable that Grayland growers on the average, produce more to the acre than do those of Long Beach district. In regard to Oregon, Chandler found that 59 percent of the growers had 3 acres or less 'and 77 pescent had 4 or less and only 17 percent had more than five acres. Growers Have Other Incomes A large majority of the growers of bith Washington and Oregon need other sources of income than cran- 'berry growing. Some work at log- 'ging, some work in sawmills, a in his Washington survey found ,that number go salmon fishing in sea- "the relative size of holdings, (in son, many cater to the thriving Washington) may be expressed in summer tourist trade at Grayland, the statement that Long Beacn has Long Beach and Bandon. Others 17 percent of the growers and 39 work as garagemen, electricians, and three sections for water-reel harvest. (CRANBERRIES Photo) various orcupations. Ambition It is my impression and strong belief that 'it is the ambition of many to !berome full-time oran berrymen. I was told this many times. With the high acreage production 'it is felt that 15 or maybe even 12 acres would make bog holdings, wholely self sustaining for a grower. With the few exceptions already noted, only a handful own as mhch as 18 acres today. In all areas there is now a de finite movement among the more progressive to consolidate holdings, especially at Grayland, to acqhire more pieces of bog, even though hey do not adjourn on the single, vast peat swale. This is going on also at Long Beach 'and at Bandon, where some new bog is being put in. Actually, a little new acreage is being put in, in at all areas- more than is being abandoned. Fewer Growers In most cranberry areas, as is Tlirteen true in iall i arfarming, the-number of growers is tending to be fewer, but each grower with larger holdings. On the first visit in 1944 the best estimate obtainable -as to the num- her of growers was a'bout 250 on the entire Coast. Chandler in his 1956-57 surveys received replies to question- aires from 227 growers in Washing- ton and in Oregon contacted 142, for a total of 379. The Cranberry Insti- tute in 1962 for te referendum on the marketing order had a total of 340, in Washington 205 and 135 in Oregon. Thus it would seekm growers in- creased in numibers from the 40's to mid 50's, but have slightly de- creased since. More exact figures may be expected as this series goes along. ttl Control Little There is very ~little .application of chemicals from the air on the Coast, but some, which is unlike the east Coast.

"As the result of a ,research and development program sponsored by the date growers under a Federal marketing >order a whole new family of date products is on the market, and export markets for California dates have been developed where none existed before.

It was found this process could 'also change dry dates into softer, smoother, high-quality dates. From this, it is thought this process may artificially ripen dates, and thus eventually allow growers to harvest all of the dates at once, instead of having to climb the date trees for harvest several times. Article concluded, "the date story is a graphic example of the value of a program tailored to the industry's needs by the industry itself- and the average .price per ton in 1961-62 was more than 50 percent higher than in 1954, the last season before the order was adopted."

Irrigation had been practiced on sandier marshes prior to the rain and also on new plantings and mowed areas. Set counts the latter part of the month showed an average of from 40 to 50 per cent. This could be attributed to the ideal weather during bloom. For the most part the above normal temperatures in June and early July forced the bloom and many marshes were in full bloom the first week of the month or an average of one week to ten days ahead of normal. The rains were helping to size the berries and also coupled with the above normal tem( peratures stimulated vine growth naturally weed and grass growth.

Chloro IPC is ap- plied while the plants are dormant. It is completely dissipated before the fruit ever appears, so there's no residue problem. Chloro IPC is among the least toxic of all commercial herbicides. Thorough field testing of Chloro IPC on cranberry bogs in Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Wash- ington has developed local experience and recom- a mnatossutdt e chara PP is eay to pply i the orm o 20% l. oth ar drngNoebe o havs.Arpa plctini al hooIC ranuls, 10 ecmbrafe pigbfr rabrygowhbgn il iefrte oto fana ed.Akyu xeietsainpr snela h taeuiestyfrlcl eomna tionson useof PPGChlor IPC. rite fr mor eal n orlcl itiuo' aet:Pts bugPlat ls omay hmca iiin On Gatwa Cetr Ptsurg 2a mendations suited to each area. PPG Chloro IPC is easy to apply in the form of 20% granules, 100 lb. to the acre during November or December after ~ chemic al harvest. A repeat application in early spring before cranberry growth begins will give further control of annual weeds.

S _ ^ •* 0110m11 0^11 X t • ^ OF AUGUST 1963 i · dt 1 ~ISSUE Tal. & dit&%i VOL. 28 -NO. 4 ,wr sEZt AUGUST PREHARVEST August is the month, just before the battle smoke of the harvest hangs over the bogs and marshes, and the battle to sell the new crop begins. As this issue is printed the USDA preliminary forecast has not been given out. We would not attempt to pre-estimate the statisticians, and besides the size of a crop is never known until the last pickable berry is in. But we do hear knowledgeable "guessimates" that the crop "looks like somewhere around a million, three, (1,300,000 barrels) plus the carryover of September 1." August is also the month of meetings, the "big" Massachusetts meeting of the year, that of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association at the State Bog, is scheduled for August 29th. This date is about ten days later than usual, and isry mainly that a report of the Marketing Com- mittee meeting at Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, August 26, 27 may be given. At this meeting the Committee will make the big decision as to what part, if any, of the crop will be the "set-aside" or berries restricted from the normal channels of sale. Last year the "set-aside" was 12 percent. It is determined by the prospective size of the crop and what portion of it can be satisfactoraly marketed, at rea- sonable returns to the growers. Then there is the meeting of Ocean Spray directors also at the Rapids on August 23 and of the Cranberry Institute directors there on the 24th. "Cranberry eyes and ears" will be on the Rapids in August. There was also the meeting of the Wisconsin State 'Cranberry Growers' Asso- ciation at the Rapids on August 7th, and the summer meeting of the American Cran- berry Growers' Association is to be held in bNew GrowJersey on the 29th. itobhdiscussions While on the subject of these grow- ers' meeting, we might repeat again, that we believe there is considerable merit in a suggestion made by Orrin G. Colley, president of the Institute that some sort of a "marketing seminar" be held in con- junction with these area summer meetings. At that time all handlers, Ocean Spray CLARENCE J.

CROSS Director Mass. Cranberry Experiment Station East Wareham, Mass. Jersey P. E. MARUCCI New Jersey Cranberry and Blueberry Station Pemberton, New Jersey and Independents might like to express their opinion and to give their marketing plans for the coming crop. We think these would be of interest to all growers coming just at the start of the marketing season. These sessions could scarcely be held on the same day of the area meetings, but the thought has been put forward they might be on a preceding or following day. The idea is not to interfere in any way with the firmly established summer growers' meetings, but at that time growers are assembled.
