Dr. Cross was invited to Hartford, Conn. by WTIC-TV to film a half hour television program about cran- berries on November 21. While not personally viewing the program, I understand that the film was excel- lent and the acting very professional but the ratings were rather poor. Weather November was cool, averaging nearly two degrees a day below DRAN BRDRY normal. The only warm days were on the 2nd, 24th and 29th. Cool periods were 8-9, 13-14, 20-21 and 25-27. Maximum shelter tempera- ture was 62 degrees on the 2nd, minimum was 22 degrees on the 28th. Rainfall totalled 6.92 inches which is 2-1/3 inches above average for November. This is the first month since June with above aver- age rainfall. The major part of this precipitation occurred from the 7th to the th when nearly 5 inches was recorded. There were measur- able amounts on 14 days, and despite the fact that some people were grumbling about developing webbed feet this was only the 4th wettest November in our records. It is the wettest since 1945 when all-time record of 10.61 inches oc- curred. We are currently about 34 inches below normal for 1968 and over 7 inches behind 1967 for the 11-month period. There was no snow record. G RO\ ERSe kill, spring frost injury and smaller than expected berry size probably account for the decline. Wisconsin is estimated at 490,000 barrels, same as last year and down slightly from the August estimate. New Jersey at 152,000 barrels down slightly from last year, Washington at 158,000 barrels, an all-time record, and up sharply from the very fine crop in 1967 and Oregon at 51,000 barrels down more than 20 percent from last year's record crop and also sharply reduced from the August estimate due to heat damage just prior to harvest. The national crop is now estimated at 1,506,000 barrels which is 6 percent above 1967. MASS.

Senator Walter Mondale (Minn.) said manufactur- ers often use bacteria laden eggs to make liquid, dried and frozen foods. Some of these eggs are used even after they have been classified as unfit for human con- sumption on the fresh egg market. The Department of Agriculture said that a spot check showed one third of the plants which process fresh eggs, send their inedible eggs to breaking plants and some find their way into supposedly pure food products. "Unscrupulous processors can use these undesir- able eggs and produce foods that are difficult, if not impossible to distinguish from wholesome, edible products. This can be accomplished by using deodor ant, filtering mechanisms, 'flavoring ingredients and pasteurization. Purity of processed foods is important -and legis- lation is vitally needed in this area, so the consumer may be assured that tainted garbage under the guise of pure and wholesome food, is not being offered on the market shelf. publisher I.

Long before copywriters con- jured jingles mixing cranberries and other fruits and the holding of second jobs became a way of life Isaiah Haines combined cranberries and weather watching. The hearty county resident, who makes his home in the community of New Lisbon, has been involved in the growing of the red berry for 56 years. To protect the crop, he became alert to frost warnings, which subsequently led to a 46- year, part-time stint as a weather observer and frost predictor for the U. S. Weather Bureau. A short time ago, Haines received a pin from Uncle Sam, complete withdiamondclipmarkinghislong- term service. Haines commenced his career in a s i Ai the cranberry business as a lad early in the century when he worked summers for Joseph J. White, Inc., Whites Bogs, four miles east of Browns Mills, where his father was superintendent. Young Haines planted, tended picked and packed cranberries dur-y ing school vacation hs ater scool. When he completed high school, way. From the Trenton Times, Trenton, N.J. he joined his dad on a full-time basis and remained with the White company for over half a century, becoming vice president along the His first duties were many and varied, prime among them was to be vigilant forfrost in early spring when tinyy white buds appear on the cranberry vines.

Haines succeeded Bliss on the frost watch. Through the years, his daily reports, spring to fall, have been transmitted to the various weather stations in the bog area, Pomona, Trenton, Philadelphia and New York. Growers now receive forecasts via tape recordings. "Our system has not been per- feet, but nine out of ten times we're correct," the veteran noted. From frostcasting, Haines gradu- ally moved into weather observa- tions for the U. S. Bureau. He emphasized that his instru- ments are scientifically obsolete are a obsolete'the primitive rain gauge a sling ther- mometer (to determine moistue) moisture) that is literallyhiterally whirled around in the air by hand each sud sundown during growing season and an an- tique barometer. Haines holds great respect for modern weather observers but finds the space age methods most accurate on a general area basis. "They don't seem to fare too well on local conditions. Thunder- storms, frost, snow, fog, for instance, are spotty. One area will get them; another won't. Today's weathermen miss up on these many times," he commented. numbers by 350 for six weeks annually. Haines, who has supplemented his lengthy on-the-job training with a number of short courses in scientific agriculture, indicated that though picking still begins around mid-September, these days much of thechoreis mechanized. The berries are washed and sorted simultane- ously by way of a detergent and shipped directly to Ocean Spray in Bordentown for processing. About 300 fewer cranberry workers are presently required at the growing site. All cranberries from Whites Bogs go to Ocean Spray. Haines said his company will soon be moving. He explained that the original 3,000 acres that were theWhiteconfinesalmost a hundred business was years ago when the business was founded have been sold over a . _,his^ . i TT Mrs. period of time to the U. S. Govern- me.d ment. A sizable area will be re- vitalized as a Green Acres project. The final transaction took place two years ago and conservation and research offices have already been installed here. Te Wie c y wil c i The White company will continue to grow cranberries in the present location for another year or two under a lease arrangement until a payload crop is ready for harvest in the new White spread on 150 acres / A visitor to Whites Bogs willABEL at Buffins Meadows, off Route 70, in what Haines believes is still Whites Bogs village. "The business has become highly scientific and much more complicated," the official stated, as he produced charts listing insecticides approved by the Department of Agriculture and a three-fold color illustration of cranberries in varying shades of red. "We pick 'em according to redness, depending on what Ocean Spray wants to use the berries for. If they're making juice, we have to leave the berries on the vine until the color is deep red. The fruit ceases to ripen once it's picked," he added. Cranberries and weather watching have provided an interesting, busy life for this amiable, energetic businessman. Even so, the combina (plus his home with Mrs. Haines,h aaughter)and daughter) tion me ave son have allowed time for 36 years as a member of the New Lisbon school board. , o 1968 CHRISTMAS o GREETINGS 1968 oooooooo0000000 000000000000000o o g ° 1968 CHRISTMAS GREETINGS 1968 HERE ATTACH ABEERE (addrss label foolnd on discover a ghost town.

Naden, executive vice-president of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. In his Washington office this summer wnotA_~~~~~ he talked about what prompted his call for farmers "to get on with" using their cooperatives more effectively. "The trend in all of agricultureis toward coordination," he pointed out. "By that I mean the linking of the basic steps-buying supplies, growing the product, marketing it, and in some cases processing and even retailing. "The key question becomes: Will agricultural coordination be controlled by.others or by farmers? "Our greatest danger today-in rural America, anyway-is that coordination of agriculture will pass out of the hands of individual releases, thereeafarmers. If control ever falls into Reprinted by Permission from LEADERSHIP MAGAZINE Clearly, the public interest will not be served by letting food pro- duction fall into the hands of a few giant corporations. Neither will the public interest be served by sub- mitting to total federal control of food production. "There is a middle way, and that is to keep farming in the hands of individual farm operators and let them exercise control through the mechanism of a cooperative. "It is high time we get on with it." Emphatic and provocative words, yes. But not exactly new. KEN . "It . NADEN .... KEN NADEN And yet, when the statement was made this past spring in. a news release, there was immediate and widespread response. Editorial writ- ers who seldom notice co-ops regis- teredagreement. Membersof farmer cooperatives Were gratified and pleased and encouraged. The ov whelming majority (95% to 98%) of comments that came back to the release's source were favorable. All this was evidence that al- though the words were not alto- gether new, they were a timely reaffirmation of cooperatives' po tential. And it was evidence that the words were accomplishing their purpose of galvanizing farmer-owned cooperatives into action. just a few hands, those hands will control production and, ultimately, prices." A trim, alert man, Ken Naden grew up on a dairy and grain farm in northern Illinois. He got a bachelor's degree ii general agri culture and a master's degree in agricultural economics from the University of Illinois before World War II. After a stint in the Army, he earned a doctor's degree in agricultural economics from the University of California. He taught at the University of California seven years, then moved to Washington, first to be agricul tural counsel for the National Asso ciation of Food Chains (1955 to 1960), then to join the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. He was appointed the council's executive vice-president in January 1963. Ken Naden is well known to anyone who last December attended Farmland Industries' annual meeting, where he delivered a memorable address on "What Can Farmers Do About Marketing? His approach then was somewhat different, but the basic message was the same: Farmers had better shape their cooperatives to adjust to and take advantage of today's food industry or someone else, someone willing and able to patternhis operations to the industry, will control it. And the control will encompass production (farming) as well as processing and marketing. Farmers, Naden told the annual meeting audience of farmers, "greatly exaggerate the benefit of skillful production-greatly under- rate the benefit of skillful market- ing." Farmers, he said, are the nation's only group of producers penalized rather than paid for efficient pro- duction. "The reason is that in farming, efficiency is a tool for greater output. But in the steel industry or in food retailing, ef- ficiency is a tool for generating profit." Naden illustrated his point with the observation that farmers who will invest $10,000 for a farm im- plement "without batting an eye- lash" will complain loudly about investing an equal amount in their marketing co-op, "even though the money might return much more in terms of net income. "Some say cooperatives have failed to raise farm prices to a fair level. I say they haven't even been tried. Only 2% of the total farmer capital investment in their farms and farming enterprises is in their marketing and purchasing coopera- tives. Do farmers expect a miracle from such a skimpy investment? The National Commission on Food Marketing has said: 'Farmers do not fully appreciate the potential of cooperative marketing.'" In that December speech and the spring-time news release, Dr. Ken Naden made it clear that it's high time farmers start appreciating andmovingto realize that potential. His focus on cooperatives is natural, of course, because he is the administrative chief of the eratives, which is made up of about 100 operating cooperatives (includ- ing Farmland Industries) and 34 state councils of farmer cooperatives. He has characterized the council as a combination trade association and farm organization. He reports that council membership and parti- cipation by members in council programs are growing. The programs include a wide assortment of ser- vices-from getting information for members to lobbying in Washington and participating in international agriculture meetings and programs. "It is essential that U. S. farmers and cooperatives be present in these events," Naden says. He feels that U. S. farmers, not just their prod- ucts, should be a part of the nation's foreign affairs programs. However, Naden's-and therefore the council's-attention is focused most closely on internal affairs most specifically on cooperatives as the means for farmers to assure significant control of agriculture and to yield profits. ere farmers to resolve once Wait Fort Elected Trustee of Ne Jesey Boys' State Walter Z. Fort of New Lisbon was elected a trustee of the New Jersey American Legion's Boys State program at a recent meeting of the Boys State executive com mittee in Trenton. Announcement of the selection of Fort as one of the three trustees to fill three- year terms was made by Morris W.Kuzbyt, secretary of Boys State.

He thinks that if farmers market about half their products through co-ops they could begin to exert "real market influence."

MORE NOTES WILL BE FOUND ON PAGE 20 Inspecting Grapes on the Vine C&MS develops mobile inspection techniques-using a "grapemobile"-to determine the quality and sugar content of grapes for processing before harvest. By Michael A. Castille Mechanical harvesting of grapes started it When growers in New York began mechanically harvesting grapes for processing into 1-ton containers, instead of hand-picking them into 30-pound lugs, grape processors and Federal-State in- spectors realized a new method of inspecting grapes had to be devel- oped. Grapes processed into juice, jelly, and other products are often inspected at the prodcessing plant for sugar content and for qualiy aori sugr contet. gadefo andua, according to U. S. grade standards, d te pe r p and the price the pprocessor pays tthe grower is based on these two ors. Bt determining the gde factors. But determining the grade (color and certain damage factors) of mechanically harvested grapes was practically impossible. And while the sugar content could be measured, the grower was in a .*r .* , X sto. th difficult position if the content wasn't high enough to be acceptable to the processor he had a contract with. Normally, the grower might be able to sell hand-picked lugs of grapes to other processors, who had different requirements for sugar content, but the 1-ton containers require special equipment to handle, require special equipment to handle, and not all processors have this (The author is Marketing Specialist That was the situation in 1965 when Clarence R.

Icenogle is em- ployed by the Fruit and Vegetable Division of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Consumer and Mar- keting Service. C&MS administers the Federal-State Inspection Service in cooperation with State agencies. Icenogle's idea was a traveling inspection lab for pre-harvest grading and determination of sugar content of grapes. The grapemobile would be a small trailer that could be attached to the inspector's car or a pick-up truck. Inside the trailer would be a garden tractor which the inspector would use to travel through the vineyards, and a blender and refractometer used to „ i.^. rri test for sugar solids in grapes. The trailer would also be equipped with water and electricity. Although the fully equipped trailer isn't yet a reality, inspectors have successfully used the garden tractor for inspecting grapes on the vine in New York for two years. Pre-harvest inspection is a big help to the grower and processor. If the sugar content of the grapes is low, harvest can be delayed until the grapes are more mature. And if the grapes aren't up to grade, growers can handpick instead of mechanically harvesting, leaving mechanically harvesting, leaving damaged grapes or those not up to color standards on the vine iplannspect,the grapeuts collect The present version of the grape- mobile includes the gardentractor, carried on a small trailer. At the vineyard, the inspector drives the inspection pattern was carefully devised by C&MS statisticians so the inspector can work fast enough to keep ahead of the mechanical harvesters, keep the cost of inspec tion to the processor within practical limits, and still make an accurate inspection of the vineyard. Sampling rates for vineyards of various sizes wee processed by computer, and cards showing the number of stops the inspector should make in a vieyard, and where he should stop, were developed. The garden tractor is equppedwith a footage meter. First, the inspector selects 1 of 20 cards showing sampling rates. In a 5-acre vineyard, for example, the card tells him his first inspection stop should be after traveling 1,400 r i. A i feet between the rows. At that point, he examines 10 bunches of grapes for grade, and places one bunch in a plastic bag to test later for sugar solids. At the next stop, s , t, h es the same hing, butusesgrapes on the apposite side of the row. He continues this alternating pattern as he goes through the vineyard through the vineyard. When he finishes his trip through th ineyard, he figures the overall e of he raes rm scores o the samples he examined and loads the garden tractor on the trailer to be ready for travel to the next vineyard.

SPECIAL TREATS FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE From six to sixty (and on up) now's the time when eyes start to sparkle with thoughts of mistletoe and popcorn, warm fires, kissingcousins, turkey and masked potatoes AND cranberries. For cranberries are as much a part of the holiday scene as the Christmas tree. They may turn up as a sauce ... a salad . . . a stuffing .. a pie slpudding ... centerpiece decoration on the Christmas tree or a kissing ball but you can be sure, they'll turn up some place on festive holidays because folks just wouldn't have it otherwise. These bright little red berries have been lending their special brand of dainty bright color and tangy flavor to meals ever since the first Pilgrim stepped foot on North American shores. ButBu~t they're not only good to eat, they can be plenty of fun when it comes to decorating too. Want a Christmas tree centerpiece? Simply get a styrofoam cone from your local variety store and cover it with bright cranberries put into place with pins. And if you want some glitter on your tree, use pins with colored heads and string a sequin on the pin before you push it through the cranberry and into the styrofoam. When it comes to that special dinner, for the small fry in the family, why not decorate each in- dividual plate with a mashed potato Christmas tree and serve a Cranberry Aspic Square all dressed up and looking like a package. The ribbon can be made with creamed cheese. And for the older generation, serve a Silk Hat Cranberry Punch. Just to put on the dog a bit why not serve your drinks in stemmed glasses if you have them on hand? Cran berry rocks (made by freezing cranberry juice cocktail in freezer trays) and/or frosted grapes give that extra party touch to your drinks. CRANBERRY GRAPE SPARKLE (Serves 10 to 12) 6 cups cranberry juice cocktail 1 cup grape juice, chilled 1 can (6 ounces) frozen concen- trated pink lemonade, thawed 1 quart club soda, chilled Lemon slices, frosted grapes Pour half of the cranberry juice into an ice cube tray and freeze until hard. Combine remaining cran- berry juice, grape juice, lemonade, and club soda in a punch bowl. Garnish punch with lemon slices. Fill glasses with cranberry ice cubes and small bunches of frosted grapes.

Cranberry production in Washington has been inconsistent for many years, that is a high yield in one year followed by a low yield. For the last three years this trend has changed and the following U.S.D.A. statistical report shows: Year BarrelsProduction Barrels/Acre 1965 66,000 66 1966 135,000 135 1967 139,000 139 Local figures to date: 1968 161,000 173 The 1968 cranberry production is the highest yield ever produced by the three Washington areas. The weather was cooperative, and of more importance, cultural practices were applied in order to achieve these excellent results.

Peterson envisioned the role of government as "providing a frame- work to assist agribusiness in self- help programs designed to strengthen their ability to supply the domestic and world markets." This would be accomplished primarily by: insuring competitive marketing practices; providing in- formational services; and providingaggressive support for a healthy business climate in international trade, "remembering the need to the buy as well as sell." Peterson emphasized that what- ever farm program is developed "must help solve the problem of the small farmer, not perpetuate his marginal existence.

Heavier amounts of 2 to 3 inches fell in the extreme southeast corner of the State. Soil moisture continued more than ample across much of the northeast half due to the heavy summer and fall rains in that section, while else- where conditions were adequate for theseason.buyaswlase.for the season. Snow fell in northern areas on November 17 with over a foot reported near Duluth. This snow melted almost entirely during the mild weather of the following week. Additional snow fell in the north during the fourth day of the deer | hunting season on the 26th, while the southwestern counties received up to 5 inches on Thanksgiving Day, November 28.

Dr. Cross was invited to Hartford, Conn. by WTIC-TV to film a half hour television program about cran- berries on November 21. While not personally viewing the program, I understand that the film was excel- lent and the acting very professional but the ratings were rather poor. Weather November was cool, averaging nearly two degrees a day below DRAN BRDRY normal. The only warm days were on the 2nd, 24th and 29th. Cool periods were 8-9, 13-14, 20-21 and 25-27. Maximum shelter tempera- ture was 62 degrees on the 2nd, minimum was 22 degrees on the 28th. Rainfall totalled 6.92 inches which is 2-1/3 inches above average for November. This is the first month since June with above aver- age rainfall. The major part of this precipitation occurred from the 7th to the th when nearly 5 inches was recorded. There were measur- able amounts on 14 days, and despite the fact that some people were grumbling about developing webbed feet this was only the 4th wettest November in our records. It is the wettest since 1945 when all-time record of 10.61 inches oc- curred. We are currently about 34 inches below normal for 1968 and over 7 inches behind 1967 for the 11-month period. There was no snow record. G RO\ ERSe kill, spring frost injury and smaller than expected berry size probably account for the decline. Wisconsin is estimated at 490,000 barrels, same as last year and down slightly from the August estimate. New Jersey at 152,000 barrels down slightly from last year, Washington at 158,000 barrels, an all-time record, and up sharply from the very fine crop in 1967 and Oregon at 51,000 barrels down more than 20 percent from last year's record crop and also sharply reduced from the August estimate due to heat damage just prior to harvest. The national crop is now estimated at 1,506,000 barrels which is 6 percent above 1967. MASS. SCS USED BY GROWERS Many Massachusetts cranberry bog owners are using the services of the Soil Conservation Service to survey and design irrigation sprinkler systems for their bogs. The Service also is preparing a study of productive bogs in each town, including total bog acreage and those with sprinkler systems installed.

Senator Walter Mondale (Minn.) said manufactur- ers often use bacteria laden eggs to make liquid, dried and frozen foods. Some of these eggs are used even after they have been classified as unfit for human con- sumption on the fresh egg market. The Department of Agriculture said that a spot check showed one third of the plants which process fresh eggs, send their inedible eggs to breaking plants and some find their way into supposedly pure food products. "Unscrupulous processors can use these undesir- able eggs and produce foods that are difficult, if not impossible to distinguish from wholesome, edible products. This can be accomplished by using deodor ant, filtering mechanisms, 'flavoring ingredients and pasteurization. Purity of processed foods is important -and legis- lation is vitally needed in this area, so the consumer may be assured that tainted garbage under the guise of pure and wholesome food, is not being offered on the market shelf. publisher I.

Long before copywriters con- jured jingles mixing cranberries and other fruits and the holding of second jobs became a way of life Isaiah Haines combined cranberries and weather watching. The hearty county resident, who makes his home in the community of New Lisbon, has been involved in the growing of the red berry for 56 years. To protect the crop, he became alert to frost warnings, which subsequently led to a 46- year, part-time stint as a weather observer and frost predictor for the U. S. Weather Bureau. A short time ago, Haines received a pin from Uncle Sam, complete withdiamondclipmarkinghislong- term service. Haines commenced his career in a s i Ai the cranberry business as a lad early in the century when he worked summers for Joseph J. White, Inc., Whites Bogs, four miles east of Browns Mills, where his father was superintendent. Young Haines planted, tended picked and packed cranberries dur-y ing school vacation hs ater scool. When he completed high school, way. From the Trenton Times, Trenton, N.J. he joined his dad on a full-time basis and remained with the White company for over half a century, becoming vice president along the His first duties were many and varied, prime among them was to be vigilant forfrost in early spring when tinyy white buds appear on the cranberry vines. The plants with- and then we kindiof had to go byi stand 28 to 29-degree temperatures but any lower Fahrenheit figure copayorovr al acet7y necessitates flooding water between the rows of plants to bring warmth and thereby save the crop at ground level where it was coolest , land Around 1920, weathermen were 7 employed by the government to aid growers, and in 1922, one of these experts, named Bliss, devised a formula based on temperatures of past years that has been used ever since. Haines succeeded Bliss on the frost watch. Through the years, his daily reports, spring to fall, have been transmitted to the various weather stations in the bog area, Pomona, Trenton, Philadelphia and New York. Growers now receive forecasts via tape recordings. "Our system has not been per- feet, but nine out of ten times we're correct" the veteran noted. From frostcasting, Haines gradu- ally moved into weather observa- tions for the U. S. Bureau. He emphasized that his instru- ments are scientifically obsolete are a obsolete'the primitive rain gauge a sling ther- mometer (to determine moistue) moisture) that is literallyhiterally whirled around in the air by hand each sud sundown during growing season and an an- tique barometer. Haines holds great respect for modern weather observers but finds the space age methods most accurate on a general area basis. "They don't seem to fare too well on local conditions. Thunder- storms, frost, snow, fog, for instance, are spotty. One area will get them; another won't. Today's weathermen miss up on these many times" he commented. numbers by 350 for six weeks annually. Haines, who has supplemented his lengthy on-the-job training with a number of short courses in scientific agriculture, indicated that though picking still begins around mid-September, these days much of thechoreis mechanized. The berries are washed and sorted simultane- ously by way of a detergent and shipped directly to Ocean Spray in Bordentown for processing. About 300 fewer cranberry workers are presently required at the growing site. All cranberries from Whites Bogs go to Ocean Spray. Haines said his company will soon be moving. He explained that the original 3,000 acres that were theWhiteconfinesalmost a hundred business was years ago when the business was founded have been sold over a . _,his^ . i TT Mrs. period of time to the U. S. Govern- me.d ment. A sizable area will be re- vitalized as a Green Acres project. The final transaction took place two years ago and conservation and research offices have already been installed here. Te Wie c y wil c i The White company will continue to grow cranberries in the present location for another year or two under a lease arrangement until a payload crop is ready for harvest in the new White spread on 150 acres / A visitor to Whites Bogs willABEL at Buffins Meadows, off Route 70, in what Haines believes is still Whites Bogs village. "The business has become highly scientific and much more complicated" the official stated, as he produced charts listing insecticides approved by the Department of Agriculture and a three-fold color illustration of cranberries in varying shades of red. "We pick 'em according to redness, depending on what Ocean Spray wants to use the berries for. If they're making juice, we have to leave the berries on the vine until the color is deep red. The fruit ceases to ripen once it's picked" he added. Cranberries and weather watching have provided an interesting, busy life for this amiable, energetic businessman. Even so, the combina (plus his home with Mrs. Haines,h aaughter)and daughter) tion me ave son have allowed time for 36 years as a member of the New Lisbon school board. , o 1968 CHRISTMAS o GREETINGS 1968 oooooooo0000000 000000000000000o o g ° 1968 CHRISTMAS GREETINGS 1968 HERE ATTACH ABEERE (addrss label foolnd on discover a ghost town.

"By that I mean the linking of the basic steps-buying supplies, growing the product, marketing it, and in some cases processing and even retailing. "The key question becomes: Will agricultural coordination be controlled by.others or by farmers? "Our greatest danger today-in rural America, anyway-is that coordination of agriculture will pass out of the hands of individual releases, thereeafarmers. If control ever falls into Reprinted by Permission from LEADERSHIP MAGAZINE Clearly, the public interest will not be served by letting food pro- duction fall into the hands of a few giant corporations. Neither will the public interest be served by sub- mitting to total federal control of food production. "There is a middle way, and that is to keep farming in the hands of individual farm operators and let them exercise control through the mechanism of a cooperative. "It is high time we get on with it." Emphatic and provocative words, yes. But not exactly new. KEN . "It . NADEN ....

Membersof farmer cooperatives Were gratified and pleased and encouraged. The ov whelming majority (95% to 98%) of comments that came back to the release's source were favorable. All this was evidence that al- though the words were not alto- gether new, they were a timely reaffirmation of cooperatives' po tential. And it was evidence that the words were accomplishing their purpose of galvanizing farmer-owned cooperatives into action. just a few hands, those hands will control production and, ultimately, prices." A trim, alert man, Ken Naden grew up on a dairy and grain farm in northern Illinois. He got a bachelor's degree ii general agri culture and a master's degree in agricultural economics from the University of Illinois before World War II. After a stint in the Army, he earned a doctor's degree in agricultural economics from the University of California. He taught at the University of California seven years, then moved to Washington, first to be agricul tural counsel for the National Asso ciation of Food Chains (1955 to 1960), then to join the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. He was appointed the council's executive vice-president in January 1963. Ken Naden is well known to anyone who last December attended Farmland Industries' annual meeting, where he delivered a memorable address on "What Can Farmers Do About Marketing? His approach then was somewhat different, but the basic message was the same: Farmers had better shape their cooperatives to adjust to and take advantage of today's food industry or someone else, someone willing and able to patternhis operations to the industry, will control it. And the control will encompass production (farming) as well as processing and marketing. Farmers, Naden told the annual meeting audience of farmers, "greatly exaggerate the benefit of skillful production-greatly under- rate the benefit of skillful market- ing." Farmers, he said, are the nation's only group of producers penalized rather than paid for efficient pro- duction. "The reason is that in farming, efficiency is a tool for greater output. But in the steel industry or in food retailing, ef- ficiency is a tool for generating profit." Naden illustrated his point with the observation that farmers who will invest $10,000 for a farm im- plement "without batting an eye- lash" will complain loudly about investing an equal amount in their marketing co-op, "even though the money might return much more in terms of net income. "Some say cooperatives have failed to raise farm prices to a fair level. I say they haven't even been tried. Only 2% of the total farmer capital investment in their farms and farming enterprises is in their marketing and purchasing coopera- tives. Do farmers expect a miracle from such a skimpy investment? The National Commission on Food Marketing has said: 'Farmers do not fully appreciate the potential of cooperative marketing.'" In that December speech and the spring-time news release, Dr. Ken Naden made it clear that it's high time farmers start appreciating andmovingto realize that potential. His focus on cooperatives is natural, of course, because he is the administrative chief of the eratives, which is made up of about 100 operating cooperatives (includ- ing Farmland Industries) and 34 state councils of farmer cooperatives. He has characterized the council as a combination trade association and farm organization. He reports that council membership and parti- cipation by members in council programs are growing. The programs include a wide assortment of ser- vices-from getting information for members to lobbying in Washington and participating in international agriculture meetings and programs. "It is essential that U. S. farmers and cooperatives be present in these events" Naden says. He feels that U. S. farmers, not just their prod- ucts, should be a part of the nation's foreign affairs programs. However, Naden's-and therefore the council's-attention is focused most closely on internal affairs most specifically on cooperatives as the means for farmers to assure significant control of agriculture and to yield profits. ere farmers to resolve once Wait Fort Elected Trustee of Ne Jesey Boys' State Walter Z.

He thinks that if farmers market about half their products through co-ops they could begin to exert "real market influence." Now they market roughly a quarter of their products through co-ops. e t e mmentum "If cooperatives are not moving aggressively enough, it is time for farmers to insist that they do. "If public policies are not per- mitting cooperatives to grow rap- idly, it is time for co-op leaders to insist that they do.

MORE NOTES WILL BE FOUND ON PAGE 20 Inspecting Grapes on the Vine C&MS develops mobile inspection techniques-using a "grapemobile"-to determine the quality and sugar content of grapes for processing before harvest. By Michael A. Castille Mechanical harvesting of grapes started it When growers in New York began mechanically harvesting grapes for processing into 1-ton containers, instead of hand-picking them into 30-pound lugs, grape processors and Federal-State in- spectors realized a new method of inspecting grapes had to be devel- oped. Grapes processed into juice, jelly, and other products are often inspected at the prodcessing plant for sugar content and for qualiy aori sugr contet. gadefo andua, according to U. S. grade standards, d te pe r p and the price the pprocessor pays tthe grower is based on these two ors. Bt determining the gde factors. But determining the grade (color and certain damage factors) of mechanically harvested grapes was practically impossible. And while the sugar content could be measured, the grower was in a .*r .* , X sto. th difficult position if the content wasn't high enough to be acceptable to the processor he had a contract with. Normally, the grower might be able to sell hand-picked lugs of grapes to other processors, who had different requirements for sugar content, but the 1-ton containers require special equipment to handle, require special equipment to handle, and not all processors have this (The author is Marketing Specialist That was the situation in 1965 when Clarence R.

Icenogle is em- ployed by the Fruit and Vegetable Division of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Consumer and Mar- keting Service. C&MS administers the Federal-State Inspection Service in cooperation with State agencies. Icenogle's idea was a traveling inspection lab for pre-harvest grading and determination of sugar content of grapes. The grapemobile would be a small trailer that could be attached to the inspector's car or a pick-up truck. Inside the trailer would be a garden tractor which the inspector would use to travel through the vineyards, and a blender and refractometer used to „ i.^. rri test for sugar solids in grapes. The trailer would also be equipped with water and electricity. Although the fully equipped trailer isn't yet a reality, inspectors have successfully used the garden tractor for inspecting grapes on the vine in New York for two years. Pre-harvest inspection is a big help to the grower and processor. If the sugar content of the grapes is low, harvest can be delayed until the grapes are more mature. And if the grapes aren't up to grade, growers can handpick instead of mechanically harvesting, leaving mechanically harvesting, leaving damaged grapes or those not up to color standards on the vine iplannspect,the grapeuts collect The present version of the grape- mobile includes the gardentractor, carried on a small trailer. At the vineyard, the inspector drives the inspection pattern was carefully devised by C&MS statisticians so the inspector can work fast enough to keep ahead of the mechanical harvesters, keep the cost of inspec tion to the processor within practical limits, and still make an accurate inspection of the vineyard. Sampling rates for vineyards of various sizes wee processed by computer, and cards showing the number of stops the inspector should make in a vieyard, and where he should stop, were developed. The garden tractor is equppedwith a footage meter. First, the inspector selects 1 of 20 cards showing sampling rates. In a 5-acre vineyard, for example, the card tells him his first inspection stop should be after traveling 1,400 r i. A i feet between the rows. At that point, he examines 10 bunches of grapes for grade, and places one bunch in a plastic bag to test later for sugar solids. At the next stop, s , t, h es the same hing, butusesgrapes on the apposite side of the row. He continues this alternating pattern as he goes through the vineyard through the vineyard.

SPECIAL TREATS FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE From six to sixty (and on up) now's the time when eyes start to sparkle with thoughts of mistletoe and popcorn, warm fires, kissingcousins, turkey and masked potatoes AND cranberries. For cranberries are as much a part of the holiday scene as the Christmas tree. They may turn up as a sauce ... a salad . . . a stuffing .. a pie slpudding ... centerpiece decoration on the Christmas tree or a kissing ball but you can be sure, they'll turn up some place on festive holidays because folks just wouldn't have it otherwise. These bright little red berries have been lending their special brand of dainty bright color and tangy flavor to meals ever since the first Pilgrim stepped foot on North American shores. ButBu~t they're not only good to eat, they can be plenty of fun when it comes to decorating too. Want a Christmas tree centerpiece? Simply get a styrofoam cone from your local variety store and cover it with bright cranberries put into place with pins. And if you want some glitter on your tree, use pins with colored heads and string a sequin on the pin before you push it through the cranberry and into the styrofoam. When it comes to that special dinner, for the small fry in the family, why not decorate each in- dividual plate with a mashed potato Christmas tree and serve a Cranberry Aspic Square all dressed up and looking like a package. The ribbon can be made with creamed cheese. And for the older generation, serve a Silk Hat Cranberry Punch. Just to put on the dog a bit why not serve your drinks in stemmed glasses if you have them on hand? Cran berry rocks (made by freezing cranberry juice cocktail in freezer trays) and/or frosted grapes give that extra party touch to your drinks.

Cranberry production in Washington has been inconsistent for many years, that is a high yield in one year followed by a low yield. For the last three years this trend has changed and the following U.S.D.A. statistical report shows: Year BarrelsProduction Barrels/Acre 1965 66,000 66 1966 135,000 135 1967 139,000 139 Local figures to date: 1968 161,000 173 The 1968 cranberry production is the highest yield ever produced by the three Washington areas. The weather was cooperative, and of more importance, cultural practices were applied in order to achieve these excellent results.

In another resolution, the society condemned the "purported grape boycott as a secondary boycott which would be illegal if directed against any other industry than farming." Support was expressed for the adoption and ratification of the Interstate Pest Control Compact by the Oregon Legislature. C. W.

Peterson envisioned the role of government as "providing a frame- work to assist agribusiness in self- help programs designed to strengthen their ability to supply the domestic and world markets." This would be accomplished primarily by: insuring competitive marketing practices; providing in- formational services; and providingaggressive support for a healthy business climate in international trade, "remembering the need to the buy as well as sell." Peterson emphasized that what- ever farm program is developed "must help solve the problem of the small farmer, not perpetuate his marginal existence. Temperatures during November averaged 1 to 3 degrees warmer than usual throughout Wisconsin. Cloudiness was above normal re- suiting in a narrow range of tem- perature with noextremesofwarmth and cold. Precipitation was light in most areas ranging generally between ½ to 12 inches. Heavier amounts of 2 to 3 inches fell in the extreme southeast corner of the State. Soil moisture continued more than ample across much of the northeast half due to the heavy summer and fall rains in that section, while else- where conditions were adequate for theseason.buyaswlase.for the season. Snow fell in northern areas on November 17 with over a foot reported near Duluth. This snow melted almost entirely during the mild weather of the following week. Additional snow fell in the north during the fourth day of the deer | hunting season on the 26th, while the southwestern counties received up to 5 inches on Thanksgiving Day, November 28.

You know how most people buy cranberries these days? in cans and bottles and jars. Jellied and frozen and squeezed. Many of them wouldn't recognize a whole, fresh cran berry if they saw one. So how do they know what to buy? They look for the Ocean Spray label. To millions of people, Ocean Spray means cranberries. They're buying more cranberry products than ever. Many they never heard of a couple of years ago. But they know the name. And they know what it stands for. You don't get a reputation like that overnight. _D Cranberries -The National Cranberry Magazine -link page Cranberries -The National Cranberry Magazine -link page PREVIOUS.............Cranberries -The National Cranberry Magazine November, 1968 NEXT.................Cranberries -The National Cranberry Magazine January, 1969 GO TO INDEX |
