Headquarters of Indian Trail 
Cranberry Co. has been moved 
from the Mead-Witter Building 
to the Badger Shopping Center, 
1353 8th St. S., Wisconsin Rapids. 

Joseph Hoelting, general man-
ager, said the change was made 
to obtain larger quarters and 
more convenient parking facil-
ities, especially for truck drivers 
who must report to the office 
for orders during the shipping 

season. 

Indian Trail, which has seven 
full time employees, had been in 
the downtown location since 1948 
when the company was formed. 
It now is a division of Green 
Bay Foods, a subsidiary of Dean 
Foods Co. of Chicago. 

Half of the Badger Shopping 
Center space formerly occupied 
by the Whitting Discount Store 
has been leased by Indian Trail 
and remodeled into office quar-
ters.

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.

There was a reported high uniformity 
of application by the

By CLARENCE J. 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.

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.

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

It was Tony Jonjak who had 

taken these vines from a ten-
foot square

Wisconsin to propagate and to

ten years he had enough to sell 
so that in 1959 Gottschalk and 

Roy Potter bought vines and each

curling, that ancient game played

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.

Suggestions as to how to pro-

attending the Massachusetts Cran-

berry Club meeting in Mtarh, 
and also suggestions as to har-

vesting and storage were mades 
by members of the Massachusetts 
Cranberry Experiment Station. 
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-

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

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:

Dr. Devlin said he had about 
30 new compounds to test at the 
station, several seemingly prom-
ising. 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. The 
weeds would not come back for i 
six months.

the individual growers were able 
to wait that long. 

"I am a believer in fertilizing," 
he said, "as a means of increasing 
production. " 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-

periments are being made with

He also spoke of "Bulk Storage"lae sie ta 

of cranberries. 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

3-Phase Electric 
Extension Will 

Aid Wisc. 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.

In Action

(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'

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

2, even 31 ° temperatures will 
produce serious injury after 
growth has started. 

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.

Crop-l Summary of 

1965 Massachusetts 
Cranberries 

A crop summary of the mar-
keting of Massachusetts, 1965 
crop has been issued by the Bos-
ton office of the Consumer and 
Marketing Service of the USDA. 
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

All day long the pickers go, 
Until the sun is getting low. 

For when the sun sinks in the west 

Then nature hails the time of rest. 

The wild wood songster clears its throat, 
And gives one long lingering note, 

That echoes sweet o'er dale and hill 

Then settles down and' all is still. 

Their daily labors being done, 

The boys and girls must have their fun, 

To the bower house they then will go 

And trip the light fantastic toe. 

Till the foreman comes at ten each night, 

In a stern voice, "Put out the light," 

Each tired picker seeks their cot, 

And soon their troubles are all forgot.
