From current findings it is a known fact that D D T h a s done considerable damage and the residue continues to build up in the wild animal and fish tissue. To prevent any problems, we feel it becomes imperative that the State Cranberry Growers' As sociation take a stand and recom- mend that absolutely no DDT be used by any cranberry grower on his marsh or premises in 1966 or in the future.HIN With products such as Sevin, Parathion, and Guthion equally as effective, and probably more so, these products should be used and DDT eliminated from all further use.

HALL Both Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Gottschalk of Cranmoor, Wisconsin have a family cranberry background. "Bob" Gottschalk operates the 75 acre marsh of Gottschalk Cranberry, Inc. He also owns the "North Marsh" of 17 acres, also in Cranmoor, a mostly run-out marsh which he hopes to rebuild.~~~~~he hopes rebuild. to ~The His father is August F. Gottschalk, a former Wisconsin Rapids merchant and grocer, who also operated a general store at nearby Port Edwards. August bought and sold cranberries for his customers in the Rapids and at Port Edwards. In his early days deliveries were made to the cranberry marshes and that was probably where "Bob" got his first interest in cranberries. His grandfather was Rufus McFarland, who was part Scotch, a river pilot and early Wisconsin cranberry grower. Mrs. Gottschalk's grandfather was Richard Rezin, pioneer of the prominent Rezin cranberry growing family in Wisconsin, and her father was Lloyd Rezin, also a cranberry grower. Live on Marsh Because of their dark color at The Gottschalks live in a pleas-harvest, the Ben Lears can im- ant home on their marsh, with a mediately be shipped to the large picture window giving a Ocean Spray plant at North view of their main marsh. This marsh is known as the old Foley marsh, called the East marsh containing 25 acre's. This marsh is entirely set to Searles. The West marsh is of 50 acres and Bob is engaged in rebuilding this. This marsh has some Natives, some Searles and Bob has planted Ben Lears for early harvesting. These vines origin ally came' from one of the earli est marshes in Wisconsin, the so- called Berlin Marsh near Berlin, Wisconsin and were planted in a small plot on the Lester Cranberry Company marsh. These vines were carefully selected ! from the' Lester Cranberry Com--S-;-;; pany marsh and transplanted to the Biron marsh (Nash). Then the late Dr. Neil Stevens, Dr. F. B. Chandler and others decided at that time', that they would not be suitable for fresh fruit, and as little processing was done then in Wisconsin; only the pies Chiago to be made into juice. It was Tony Jonjak who had taken these vines from a ten- foot square transplanted plot at them Biron to his and own marsh at Haywar~d in northern Wisconsin to propagate and to be sold commercially. After about ten years he had enough to sell so that in 1959 Gottschalk and Roy Potter bought vines and each planted four acres of the Ben Lears at Cranmoor Marsh Sprinkled marsh is flowed from the Wisconsin River River. In 1964 Gottschalk put in 19 acres of sprinklers, these having Rain Bird heads. Last year the balane of the marsh was put under sprinkler. sprinkler.

He har- vests in a little different manner than do most Wisconsin growers by going around and around a bed rather than always in the same direction. Used Boxes Bulk Used Bulk Boxes Bob was the first to use bulk wooden boxes, 4 feet by 4 feet dby4 feet, handled with fork by 4 feet, handled with fork lifts in shipping his crop to Ocean Spray. He has a warehouse of considerable size but plans to build a new one. His North marsh across the highway from his other properties is an old "wild native marsh" started in 1888 before the present Milwaukee Railroad was put through. Mrs. Gott a TeacherState sconsinalk Gottschalk was born in Wis- pleted her requirements for a Bachelor's degree at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Afterwards she taught American History and related subjects. The Gottschalks have two sons, Jon 20 years, who is attending Wisconsin State University and Guy 16 years, who is a junior at Wayland Academy at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Hobby is Curling The hobby of the Gottschalks is a rather unusual one, at least for most of the' country. It is curling, that ancient game played on ice with a heavy stone and broom. There is a curling club at Port Edwards to which the Gottschalks belong, along with the Wayne Duckarts, Irving Bennetts, Newell Jaspersons and Dan Rezins, all cranberry growers in the town of Cranmoor. This is a sport that can be played in the long cold Wisconsin winters, when there is not much to be marshes. Bob is a done on the marshes. Bob is a former secretary and treasurer of this club. A poem by Mr. Rufus E. Mac- Farland, maternal grandfather of Mr. Gottschalk follows: CRANBERRY PICKING TIME Don't you think that city folks would think it very cute, To go upon the cranberry marsh to see them pick the fruit. If the men would take along their daughters and their wives, They would bid good-by to all resorts the balance of their lives. When you go upon the meadow before the work is begun Where every dewdrop sparkles like diamonds in the sun; The grass appears as beautiful as waves on inland seas, Golden rod and buttercups are nodding in the breeze. It surely is a sight to see on the bogs we pass, Each berry tries to hide itself beneath the moss and grass. They act like timid people as if they were afraid, When you bring them to the light they blush like a bashful maid.

He mentioned briefly the relation of the use of Casoron to bog sanding. Demoranville, who was listed as speaking on "Weeds," said his talk could better be put down as "Cranberry Hash," as he was speaking on a number of subjects. He said that harvest should be- delayed, if possible until the berries were fully mature, and of the right color. He said it was amazing the difference in the size of the fruit picked too early and that picked at full maturity. This perfect timing in harvest can make a good deal of differ- in the amount of production He saido a grower will obtain.

The meetings were those of the South Shore at Kingston, March 15th, Southeastern, Rochester on the 16th and the Cape Cod, Barn- stable on the 17th. The discussions were under the leadership of Irving E. Demo- ranville, Extension Cranberry now the case. He said this alone could help increase total produc- tion. The acid will also enlarge the berry, a dvantage in total production On more advantage possible is that a seedless fruit may be pro- duced (he cites the Thompson grape) and this is something Ocean Spray is very anxious to have in sauce making. Gibberallin acid, he said may also be useful as a supplement to herbicides. Some plants grow to six times their normal size under this rSpecialisty treatment and the pec ialtplant An interesting feature in the production of larger crops was in the production of larger as well as more cranberries, as this would swell rop. total the First speaker was Dr. Robert Devlin, pathologist at the Sta- tion, a relative newcomer, who was making his first appearance before the growers on a speaking program. His subject was "Pos- sible Solutions to Some Cran- berry Problems." He first discussed "Gibberallin," a chemical which is a growth regulator. He said cost production was the problem of every grower and that Gib- berallin acid is a natural growth regulator. It is not toxic, but at the moment it is not inexpen- sive as it is not commonly used on many agricultural products. He said that normally flowers need pollination, usually bees to set fruit. "If we spray flowers with Gibberallin Acid we may be able to achieve 90 to 95 per- cent fruit set, if the' cranberry plant will respond to this acid." He noted there is a very large loss in the potential of the crop if flowers do not all set, as is will take up more herbi- cides. The material is not yet regis- tered for use on cranberries and his research is so far only in the experimental stage. (Editor's note: Gibberallin is also under eri Gibberallin is also under experiment f us ment; for cranberry use in New Jersey by Charles N.

Two might increase yield, one gave an excellent short time control of weeds which might be used successfully on poison ivy, and there was one for cleaning ditches of weeds, provided the ditch is dry when applied.

" He said he preferred a "balanced" fertilizer, and this was much better than just nitrogen alone. He went into the matter of water harvesting slightly. In discussing the matter of not picking until the berries were fully ripe, he said he was fol- lowing the advice of Dr. Cross as given at a previous meeting. There are no new chemicals at all in the weed chart for 1966, he said. Reverting to fertilizers again he asserted that all bogs are different and each grower must experiment and find out what program is best for his own property. Prof. William (Bill) Tomlinson, entomologist, took up the recom- mendations for this year, noting the changes of recommendation in a number of items. He said that there might be more trouble with gypsy moth this year, following last year's outbreak of this pest on the Cape. It had not been a problem for about 15 years and might be a new problem for some of the younger growers. He suggested a number of sweeps be liminted to 25 rather than 50 before a check is made. He cautioned growers that they were responsible for any pesti- ides on their propntainerty. He sug- gested that containers be buried and said it was bad practice to remove part of the contents of a container and put it in an- other. Material should be kept in the original container, he said, and the container has antidote directions on it to use in the event of accidental poisoning. He said it was often best to des- troy some chemicals if they had been left over from the year of their use as they might have deteriorated and have lost strength and when applied would not do the job desired. Final speaker was Prof. J. "Stan" Norton, engineering re- search. He talked to some extent on wet raking, and told how ex- SIXTEEN periments are being made with 12 inch plastic pipe filled with water as a barrier to flood a bog area for wet picking.

He told how fruit had been stored in cooperation with Ocean Spray and records kept of the rate of rot in various containers and in various con- ditions of temperature storage. He summarized by saying that he couldn't see but that the fruit kept as well in bulk bins con- taining seven barrels as well as that stored in the usual field box.

Growers Staking crews were at work shortly after December 1, on two main three-phase feeding lines north from the Mather substation that will serve the townships of Bear Bluff, Knapp, Kingston, Remington and City Point and bring three-phase service to a number of Wisconsin cranberry formers and an estimated labor c f cost for construction of 125 000 over $ Staking crews are coordinating their work with irrigation pump manufacturers who are assisting all growers and our crews in locat ing the point where cranberry sprinklng pumps will be installed. These pumps will range from 50 to 150 horsepower. Consideration will be given to the location of all overhead lines to render the least amount of interference to aerial spraying, dusting, etc. It is planned that most of our secondary lines will be located underground from the transformer pole to the pump location. Plans are to serve all cranberry growers who have signed up for three-phase service, however, it is only natural that service will be available first to those who are located nearest to our substation load centers. Those located further away must, of course, expect service at a da:te possibly later than May 1, 1966. is expected hat many new uses for electricity will be found by growers in the area now that three-phase service will be made available. There is no question but what a greater amount of electric power will be consumed in the of cranberries in drying, warehouse heating, refrigeration storage, and other applications that will come about as a result of research now underway. Construction will be done out of Oakdale Electric headquarters, using the cooperative regular construction crews, however, in order to meet service deadlines it may be necessary to employ additional people. Every effort will be made to employ those from local areas served by the cooperative.

BLACKSTONE Farm Bureau Staff Assistant (EDITORS Farm Bureau NOTE (EDITOR'S NOTE: is fortunate in having James E. Shaw, Esq. of Dunstable as Gen- eral Counsel for the Massachu- setts Farm Bureau Federation. Following is a resume of a de- cision handed down by the Land Court relative to Cranberry grow- ers. This case was taken into Court by the Massachusetts Farm Bureau to determine the validity of an amendment to the zoning by-laws. Mr. Shaw is the Author.) Merry v. Duxbury Article Cranberry growers generally can take comfort from a decision handed down by the Land Court involving the validity of an amendment to the zoning by-laws of the Town of Duxbury. The by-law provided that "no obstruction of streams or tidal waters and no excavation or fill- ing of any marsh, wetland, or bog shall be done without proper authorization by a special per- mit issued by the Board of Ap- peals." (See Merry v. Duxbury, Land Court, Misc. Case : 32878). In attacking the by-law, Stan- ley M. Merry of Duxbury in his petition alleged it was invalid as an "attempted exercise of police power that has no reasonable re- lationship to the public health, safety, or welfare of the inhabi- tants of the Town; that the Board of Health by Chapter 111, Sec- tion 125 (of the General Laws), has jurisdiction over land which hs jet,rotten, 'song,orver d is wet, rottenupon with stagnant water and offen sive or injurious to health that the by-law fails to provide ade- quate standards for the Board of Appeals in the issuance of 'special permits,' that failing to define essential terms the by- law has patent ambiguities; that it contravenes the Constitution, voids the Massachusetts law as to the reasonable use of riparian rights, subjects the rights of cranberry growers statutory and EIGHTEEN otherwise, to the whim of a board, and substantially inter- feres with cranberry business of growing and expanding." The Land Court, unequivocably, decided in favor of Mr. Merry and specifically found that the amendment to the by-law in question had "no force or effect" as to his "cultivation of cran- berries" and that it was "an in- valid exercise of authority by the Town under the Zoning En- abling Act." In his opinion, Judge Joseph R. Cotton relied heavily upon the points raised in the brief pre- pared and filed by James E Shaw, General Counsel for Mas- sachusetts Farm Bureau, who represented Mr. Merry in the action. Among others, the fol- lowing observations were made by Judge Cotton: (1)"Natural water courses from time immemorial, and as set forth in many decisions on riparian rights, give the owner of the land over which it runs the right to use it without substantial injury to the upper or lower riparian owners. The by-law states an owner cannot obstruct it without prior permission of the Board of Appeals, regardless of degree or reason for doing so." () ermission or proper authorization' as to marsh, wet- land, and bog must be first ob- tained before the' owner may 'ex- cavate or fill' any of them. It does not say that it applies to a substantial excavation or fill not does it exempt a minor act." (3) "The amendment places a landowner the interpre- upon a landowner the interpre- tation of whether he is on swampland, wetland, or bog and without permission acts at his peril, regardless of necessity or the general improvement which would result." (4) "'It is well established that all town by-laws must be suf- ficiently definite so that a citizen of average intelligence in reading may reasonably know whether any act of his is in violation." (5) Hinkley v. Nickerson, 117 Mass. 213, 215, recited that as early as 1866, an 'owner had a legal right to maintain a dam for the purpose of flowing and an tivation of cranberries.'" (6) "Howe v. Grush, 131 Mass. 207,211, states, 'The Legislature has seen fit to give to the owners of cranberry meadows the same rights to erect dams and flow their meadows that had long been enjoyed by owners of mill sites.' must be done with 'reasonable care, skill and prudence,' which is the rule that requires everyone so to use his own as not to inju another." (7) "I am unable to percieve any rational tendency in the amendment to promote safety, health, morals, or general welfare of the public. It chief purpose seems to be founded on aesthetic considerations. It phraseology is unreasonable and arbitrary." Judge Cotton then went on to discuss the rights of Mr. Merry relative to the "non-conforming" use of his land in light of the amendment to Section 5 of Chapter 340, Acts of 1962. The Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federa tion was instrumental in having this particular amendment adopted as part of the State Zoning Enabling Act. The opinion reads: "It is uncontroverted that petitioners have been operating and improving three cranberry bogs and performing all acts needful for producing cranberry crops. It is uncontroverted that in this respect they possess a non-con forming use which is ordinarily forming use which rdinar exempt from zoning by-laws adopted subsequent to such use becoming established. "The Zoning Enabling Act by Section 5, as amended by Chapter 340, acts of 1962, gives protection to nonconforming use of land. In substance it states a zoning by-law shall not apply to the 'existing use' of land to the extent to which it is used at the' time of the adoption of the or available: 30R Series 3" power H b M ;ities of up to 800 GPM.

Box 710 Wisconsin Rapids · Wisconsin 54494 TWENTY-ONE The amount of injury varied greatly on all sampling dates. Cold injury does not occur to all dormant buds. The differences in the stage of development, nu- trition, and vigor of the plant cause the degree of hardiness to vary. Resistance to cold injury among the developing blossom buds of the inflorescence also varied considerably. Those blos- som buds that developed first, or lowest on the inflorescence were generally more susceptible to in- jury that those which developed later. The data shown in Table I indicates that the buds are relatively resistant to cold injury in earlier parts of the dorman period. However, after physio- logical activity resumes in the cells, they are increasingly sus- ceptible' to injury as the dor- mant period progresses toward its termination. For example, the February 11th group of temperatures show two on this date. These are 24 and 22 degrees. These temperatures at the earlier dates did not seem to cause increased injury. The February 26th temperatures have six minimums (25, 26, 23, 25, 19, and 24 de- grees) which probably caused the increased injury shown. Most, but not all, injury in the mid-dormant period, was to the' abscission layer. This is a layer only a few cells thick between the dorman bud and the stem and is surrounded by the bases of the' outer bud scales. Injury varied from complete kill to only slight. Those stems which were only slightly injured seemed to recover when growth resumed. However, those stems where the abscission layer was killed, even though the bud itself remained undamaged showed no further development. This accounts in part for an increase in injury from 8% on December 15 to 44% on February 26. Those buds where the abscission layer was killed dropped off and only healthier buds remained on TWENTY-TWO March 12th and 24th.

From the latter part of the dormant season through the hook (pink) stage the parts of flower buds most easily injured were the anthers, style and nectaries. The anther tubes, through which the pollen is discharged, and the base 3f the style surrounded by the nectaries received the most dam age. Anther tubes injured by freezing temperatures during de velopment twist and curl so that pollen dehiscence is extremely difficult. Damage to the ovaries and ovules also occurred in these tests but not as readily as to styles and anthers. However, if damage to the latter was very extensive, the ovaries were also injured enough to cause serious crop reduction. Injury to the style base can cause serious crop loss as this prevents the pollen tubes from reaching the ovules. Injury to the anthers, especially the anther tubes, can preventpollen dehiscence'. When this oc curs the chance of pollinationoccuring is reduced. Another factor observed was that when the injud style was generally damaged also. After bud break has occurred any temperature 31°F or lower will cause serious crop reduction (see table 2). Even temperatures of 32°F appear to cause some injury if they persist long enough. Irrigation system should therefore, be started any time the tempera° ture drops to 33 or 34 . Starting at this temperature will counter-act the danger of spot injury during frosty periods. During periods of radiation frosts, a decrease of only four to six inches in the height of the vine surface may result in injury in low spots. Experiences during the past few years show that damaging frosts can occur any time during the growing season in localized areas if conditions are right. When this happens the upright tips will turn brown and die.

It is written by John E. O'Neil and William E. Struck. The report says in part:- Acreage harvested in 1965 was down one hundred acres from 1964 to 11,600 acres. This with a total Mass. crop of 745,000 bar- rels, the third largest Mass. crop brings the average yield per acre to 64.2 barrels, up to 7.8 barrels from 1964. Early Blacks continued to be the predominating variety grown in the Cape Cod and Plymouth areas, followed by Howes and a few miscellaneous varieties. The approximate percentages were Early Blacks 60 percent, Howes 36 percent and others 4 percent. Practically all shipments con- tinued to be packaged in cardboard cartons containing 24 one- pound film bags and window boxes. In southern and eastern markets the window boxes are more in demand, in mid-Western markets the film bags are more popular. In western markets there doesn't appear to be any marked tendency toward either package. A few 25 pound bulk cartons were used this season, mostly to institutional outlets in Canada and the northwest U. S. Rail movement again this sea- son was a minor factor. A total of 19 rail shipments were re- ported which represents the lightest rail shipments since this re- port originated in 1954. Truck movement as usual con- tinued as the major source iof transportation. A total of 765 carlot equivalents were shipped in 1965 compared to 777 in 1964. Combined rail and truck ship- ments in 1965 were approximately the same as in 1964, ten per- cent less than in 1963 and 26 per- cent less than in 1962.

DDT on Wisconsin
Cranberry Bogs
The following notice went out
this month to Wisconsin cranberry
growers from the president,
Craig Scott and other officers of
the Wisconsin Cranberry Growers
Association:
Everyone is aware of the con-
tinuous investigations by various
state and federal agencies to de-
termine the harmful effects of
DDT on our wild life, fish, and
natural resources. From current
findings it is a known fact that
D D T h a s done considerable
damage and the residue continues
to build up in the wild animal
and fish tissue.
To prevent any problems, we
feel it becomes imperative that
the State Cranberry Growers' As
sociation take a stand and recom-
mend that absolutely no DDT be
used by any cranberry grower on
his marsh or premises in 1966 or
in the future.HIN
With products such as Sevin,
Parathion, and Guthion equally
as effective, and probably more so,
these products should be used
and DDT eliminated from all
further use.

Frank Glenn, owner of Cran

Washington has covered 40 acres
of his bog with Casoron granules
applied by helicopter. The entire
job was done' in about an
hour, as against an estimated four-
day walking application on the
surface.
There was a reported high uniformity
of application by the
copter, with a maximum 120
foot swath, and no lapover or
skipping of the chemical.
Work was done by the Evergreen

to have spent more than
a million dollars in experiments
of copter application of granular

Gottschalk Operates Large Marshes at Cranrnoor--

Both Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Gottschalk of Cranmoor, Wisconsin
have a family cranberry background. "Bob" Gottschalk operates the
75 acre marsh of Gottschalk Cranberry, Inc. He also owns the "North
Marsh" of 17 acres, also in Cranmoor, a mostly run-out marsh which
he hopes to rebuild.~~~~~he hopes rebuild.

His father is August F. Gottschalk, a former Wisconsin Rapids
merchant and grocer, who also operated a general store at nearby
Port Edwards. August bought and sold cranberries for his customers
in the Rapids and at Port Edwards. In his early days deliveries were
made to the cranberry marshes and that was probably where "Bob"
got his first interest in cranberries.
His grandfather was Rufus McFarland, who was part Scotch, a
river pilot and early Wisconsin cranberry grower.
Mrs. Gottschalk's grandfather was Richard Rezin, pioneer of the
prominent Rezin cranberry growing family in Wisconsin, and her
father was Lloyd Rezin, also a cranberry grower.
