Market Report The first cranberry market report for fresh fruit was released Sep- tember 22 from the Agricultural Marketing News Service under the direction of John O'Neil in Boston. This will be the 15th season that these weekly reports have been prepared for growers and shippers. The reports include current informa tion on the movement of fresh cranberries by rail and truck, price and terminal market conditions in the leading cities in the United States. Those who wish to continue receiving this report should return the necessary form to Mr. O'Neil. Anyone else interested in this report may receive it by writing to the Agricultural Marketing News Service, 408 Atlantic Avenue, Room 705, Boston, Mass. 02210, request- ing that his name be added to the cranberry mailing list. Weather September was on the cool side, averaging about 11 degrees a day below normal. Basically the first half of the month was warm and the last half cold. Warm periods were on the lst-2nd, 7th, 13th and 16th-17th. Cool periods on the 9th, 18th-23rd, 26th-30th. Maximum temperature was 88 degrees on the 1st and 2nd, minimum was 34 tailed 4.21 inches which was about 1/3 inch above normal. There was measurable rain on only 8 days, with 2.81 inches occurring on the 8th-9th. We are about 1/4 inches below average for the first nine months, but 3 inches ahead of 1968 for the same period. a Harvest A few growers began harvesting on September 10th, with more joining in on the weekend of the 13th and general harvest about the 15th. The berries harvested in the first week were of poor color, which seems to be an annual event in recent years, and of only fair quality. The size was not quite as good as expected and growers were falling slightly under their estimates, but the crop will be larger than 1968. About 90 percent of the Early Blacks were harvested by October 5. There were eight general frost warnings released as of October 5. Late Fall Management ll g suggestions on The following suggestions on late fall management are offered to the growers for their consideration. 1.) Woody plants such as hardhack, meadow sweet and bayberry should be pulled out after harvest. This will greatly improve the picking operation next season. 2.)

Casoron should be used in cold weather (after November 15) preferably just be- fore a rain. It is less likely to harm vines that are healthy and vigorous. 4.) This is an excellent time to rake and/or prune the bog. Also, do not forget the trash flood where water supplies are available. These are very valuable practices that will keep the bog in shape for peak pro- duction next year. 5.) Any bog that has not received sand for the past five years or more, should be sanded as soon as possible, prefer- ably this fall or winter. Sanding, pruning and raking should be post- poned until next spring on those bogs that do not have water for winter protection because the vines are more susceptible to winter in- jury following these operations. 6.) Areas with fairy rings should be treated with ferbam as recom- mended in the Insect and Disease Control chart. FRANCIS H. SMITH Francis H.

Yet resanding is still an important and expensive feature of accepted management practice, and methods of resanding have changed considerably as labor sup- plies have dwindled. Ever since the wild American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) was first brought under culti- vation in the early years of the nineteenth century on Cape Cod, it has been customary for growers to resand their bogs periodically. The resanding operation consists in spreading a reasonably uniform layer of coarse, gritty sand over the mature cranberry vines. The amount of sand used varies from about 35 cubic yards per acre for a quarter- inch layer to about 100 cubic yards is obta from the sandhills ined ia uv~obaiii iiuiii iic ndii amils surrounding the bogs or is hauled to the from boe isanandd narv to the bog from nearby sand pits. Until quite rbcent times the sand was hand shoveled into wheelbar- rows which were pushed out onto iir Irving E. Demoranville j':'' ' e d , 4w with a lightweight, thin-bladed, square-point shovel. There is some trick or knack in doing this, which is immediately evident when an "old hand" and a novice are seen spreading the sand. The former, carefully avoidingan over-fullshovel, throws the sand with a sweeping motion which succeeds to a large degree in dissociating the sand grains so they fall like pepper and salt through the vines to cover the bog surface without burying many of the fruiting upright branches. It is well that the shovel used for this purpose is lightweight-it seems very heavy late in the dayin thiswork. But this is a description of a laborious and costly practice-why is it done and what does it accom- plish? This same question has been put to many who have excelled in the art of cranberry growing. foralayer34"indeptd1.

The larvae are tiny, and in August and September feed on the bark of cranberry vines at the soil level or in the "trash" layer. Resanding covers the trash, keeping it moist and unsuitable for the girdler. Again, sanding alone is scarcely a cure for the pest but it curtails its activity and makes chemical controls more effective. Circular No. 36 indicated that C e smt man es sma weeds." "This statement does not reflect current thinking on the subject, in fact quite the opposite.

Resanding and Cranberry False Blossom Disease , . .. This is a virus disease which is spread by the blunt-nosed leaf- hopper. It causes a distortion of the flowers and results in a failure to produce berries, or at least berries of marketable size. There are now several registered pesticides which have given excellent and lasting control of the blunt-nosed leafhopper. Because of this the false blossom disease is no longer a serious threat to the cranberry industry. However, it is one thing to prevent the spread of the disease to prevent the spread of the disease to andand quite another to eliminate the diseased vines. There are two prac- diseased vines. There are two tices that are primarily helpful in getting rid ffae blossom diseased of false vines: resanding and fertilization. vines: Both of these stimulate vine growth Both of these stimulate vine and if both practices are pursued regularly and, the leafhoppers are controlled, healthy vines tend to crowd smother thethe diseased and smother diseased crowd and Growers should be warned gthat the lush vigorous growth pro duced by fertilizer and reanding especially sensitive and susceptible is sensitive and blossom disease.

Scheer The growth retardant, Alar, affected the rate of bud break in the spring at the end of the dormant period, the linear growth of new shoots, and blossoms development of the McFarlin cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon). The degree and type of response was dependent on the time of application of Alar, the number of degree hours below 400 F applied to break rest period and the length of the growing period. Dr. C. C. Doughty, Associate Horticulturist, Washington State University, told members of the American Society for Horticultural Science meeting at Washington State University at Pullman that applica- tions of Alar at 2500 ppm two weeks before full-bloom inhibited growth of shoots obtained in mid- November and grown in the green- house for 89 -days, but stimulated growth of shoots obtained in mid- December or later. The effect of Alar on growth of new shoots the year following treatment seems to be partially dependent on the amount of cold treatment applied to break the rest period. Treatment at full-bloom or two weeks after full-bloom stimulated growth of new shoots the following year. All treatments inhibited growth during the current season. Alar applied to foliage of the cranberry plant two weeks before full-bloom inhibited bud break of dormant buds. Treatment two weeks after full-bloom stimulated bud break. No effect was found from applications at full-bloom. The amount of injury caused by freezing temperatures was re- Continued on Page 18 North Carver Pine Corp. North Carver, Mass.

One would think that such an ~~extensive cranberry growing area which Wisconsin has would create problems in establishing a cranberry growers school, but the three-day school, arranged by the University and a Growers Association committee, had excellent representation. Dr. Klingbeil believes the school is important for the growers, so that they may have a clear and compre hensive background on the cranberry. They should know how it grows and why it acts as it does under certain conditions. A large assortment of material was provided for the growers who attended the school last year, and was done at a tfact in ecluded technical papers, reference notesand a textboo It isbelieved that this school provides an opportunity for these highly-specialized cranberry growers to be well informed. The material made available supplies them with important referencematerial. Wisconsin is an agriculturally progressive state and enjoys national production leadership in many areas, including dairy products, sweet corn, peas, beans, cucumbers, pohay, beef and swine.

Root Congestion After long study and experience in cranberry growing, Dr. H. J. Franklin would liken the growth of cranberry roots in the sand over the peat to the roots of potted house plants that from long growth in a restricted quantity of soil have become root bound. He felt the addition of a layer of sand to the bog provided an increased layer of soil for root exploration and as such was responsible for the in- duced by all treatments applied during the blossoming period. Ap- plication two weeks after full- bloom had the greatest effect. Treated plants withstood 0°F with no significant increase in injury whereas untreated plants were seri- ously injured at 50F. DR.

Sauce was prepared by addition of 500 ml of water and 420 g of sugar to 500 g of berries from each treatment, boiling and maintaining at a rolling boil for 10 min. Evaluation by 10 testers was carried out by the Ranking Difference Method of Larmond (1967). Juice was pre- pared by grinding a 600 g sample of frozen berries in a household meat grinder, allowing equilibration to room temperature and pressing at 6000 lb. through an unbleached cotton cloth. The total juice extracted was diluted to 250 ml with water, an aliquot diluted X25 and read in a 1 cm cell on a Bausch and Lomb Spectronic 20 at 515 mu. This gave a relative measurement of the total pigment expressed from each treatment. cranberry producing areas are spread over a large part of the state creates no poblem in maintaining an efficient frost warning system. Sponsored by the Growers Associa- tion, the agricultural meteorologist utilizes wire services and radio networks to bring frost warnings to the attention of the growers.

Market Report The first cranberry market report for fresh fruit was released Sep- tember 22 from the Agricultural Marketing News Service under the direction of John O'Neil in Boston. This will be the 15th season that these weekly reports have been prepared for growers and shippers. The reports include current informa tion on the movement of fresh cranberries by rail and truck, price and terminal market conditions in the leading cities in the United States. Those who wish to continue receiving this report should return the necessary form to Mr. O'Neil. Anyone else interested in this report may receive it by writing to the Agricultural Marketing News Service, 408 Atlantic Avenue, Room 705, Boston, Mass. 02210, request- ing that his name be added to the cranberry mailing list. Weather September was on the cool side, averaging about 11 degrees a day below normal. Basically the first half of the month was warm and the last half cold. Warm periods were on the lst-2nd, 7th, 13th and 16th-17th. Cool periods on the 9th, 18th-23rd, 26th-30th. Maximum temperature was 88 degrees on the 1st and 2nd, minimum was 34 tailed 4.21 inches which was about 1/3 inch above normal. There was measurable rain on only 8 days, with 2.81 inches occurring on the 8th-9th. We are about 1/4 inches below average for the first nine months, but 3 inches ahead of 1968 for the same period. a Harvest A few growers began harvesting on September 10th, with more joining in on the weekend of the 13th and general harvest about the 15th. The berries harvested in the first week were of poor color, which seems to be an annual event in recent years, and of only fair quality. The size was not quite as good as expected and growers were falling slightly under their estimates, but the crop will be larger than 1968. About 90 percent of the Early Blacks were harvested by October 5. There were eight general frost warnings released as of October 5. Late Fall Management ll g suggestions on The following suggestions on late fall management are offered to the growers for their consideration. 1.) Woody plants such as hardhack, meadow sweet and bayberry should be pulled out after harvest. This will greatly improve the picking operation next season. 2.)

Casoron should be used in cold weather (after November 15) preferably just be- fore a rain. It is less likely to harm vines that are healthy and vigorous. 4.) This is an excellent time to rake and/or prune the bog. Also, do not forget the trash flood where water supplies are available. These are very valuable practices that will keep the bog in shape for peak pro- duction next year. 5.) Any bog that has not received sand for the past five years or more, should be sanded as soon as possible, prefer- ably this fall or winter. Sanding, pruning and raking should be post- poned until next spring on those bogs that do not have water for winter protection because the vines are more susceptible to winter in- jury following these operations. 6.) Areas with fairy rings should be treated with ferbam as recom- mended in the Insect and Disease Control chart. FRANCIS H. SMITH Francis H.

Yet resanding is still an important and expensive feature of accepted management practice, and methods of resanding have changed considerably as labor sup- plies have dwindled. Ever since the wild American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) was first brought under culti- vation in the early years of the nineteenth century on Cape Cod, it has been customary for growers to resand their bogs periodically. The resanding operation consists in spreading a reasonably uniform layer of coarse, gritty sand over the mature cranberry vines. The amount of sand used varies from about 35 cubic yards per acre for a quarter- inch layer to about 100 cubic yards is obta from the sandhills ined ia uv~obaiii iiuiii iic ndii amils surrounding the bogs or is hauled to the from boe isanandd narv to the bog from nearby sand pits. Until quite rbcent times the sand was hand shoveled into wheelbar- rows which were pushed out onto iir Irving E. Demoranville j':'' ' e d , 4w with a lightweight, thin-bladed, square-point shovel. There is some trick or knack in doing this, which is immediately evident when an "old hand" and a novice are seen spreading the sand. The former, carefully avoidingan over-fullshovel, throws the sand with a sweeping motion which succeeds to a large degree in dissociating the sand grains so they fall like pepper and salt through the vines to cover the bog surface without burying many of the fruiting upright branches. It is well that the shovel used for this purpose is lightweight-it seems very heavy late in the dayin thiswork. But this is a description of a laborious and costly practice-why is it done and what does it accom- plish? This same question has been put to many who have excelled in the art of cranberry growing. foralayer34"indeptd1.

The larvae are tiny, and in August and September feed on the bark of cranberry vines at the soil level or in the "trash" layer. Resanding covers the trash, keeping it moist and unsuitable for the girdler. Again, sanding alone is scarcely a cure for the pest but it curtails its activity and makes chemical controls more effective. Circular No. 36 indicated that C e smt man es sma weeds."

Resanding and Cranberry False Blossom Disease , . .. This is a virus disease which is spread by the blunt-nosed leaf- hopper. It causes a distortion of the flowers and results in a failure to produce berries, or at least berries of marketable size. There are now several registered pesticides which have given excellent and lasting control of the blunt-nosed leafhopper. Because of this the false blossom disease is no longer a serious threat to the cranberry industry. However, it is one thing to prevent the spread of the disease to prevent the spread of the disease to andand quite another to eliminate the diseased vines. There are two prac- diseased vines. There are two tices that are primarily helpful in getting rid ffae blossom diseased of false vines: resanding and fertilization. vines: Both of these stimulate vine growth Both of these stimulate vine and if both practices are pursued regularly and, the leafhoppers are controlled, healthy vines tend to crowd smother thethe diseased and smother diseased crowd and Growers should be warned gthat the lush vigorous growth pro duced by fertilizer and reanding especially sensitive and susceptible is sensitive and blossom disease.

Scheer The growth retardant, Alar, affected the rate of bud break in the spring at the end of the dormant period, the linear growth of new shoots, and blossoms development of the McFarlin cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon). The degree and type of response was dependent on the time of application of Alar, the number of degree hours below 400 F applied to break rest period and the length of the growing period. Dr. C. C. Doughty, Associate Horticulturist, Washington State University, told members of the American Society for Horticultural Science meeting at Washington State University at Pullman that applica- tions of Alar at 2500 ppm two weeks before full-bloom inhibited growth of shoots obtained in mid- November and grown in the green- house for 89 -days, but stimulated growth of shoots obtained in mid- December or later. The effect of Alar on growth of new shoots the year following treatment seems to be partially dependent on the amount of cold treatment applied to break the rest period. Treatment at full-bloom or two weeks after full-bloom stimulated growth of new shoots the following year. All treatments inhibited growth during the current season. Alar applied to foliage of the cranberry plant two weeks before full-bloom inhibited bud break of dormant buds. Treatment two weeks after full-bloom stimulated bud break. No effect was found from applications at full-bloom. The amount of injury caused by freezing temperatures was re- Continued on Page 18 North Carver Pine Corp. North Carver, Mass.

One would think that such an ~~extensive cranberry growing area which Wisconsin has would create problems in establishing a cranberry growers school, but the three-day school, arranged by the University and a Growers Association committee, had excellent representation. Dr. Klingbeil believes the school is important for the growers, so that they may have a clear and compre hensive background on the cranberry. They should know how it grows and why it acts as it does under certain conditions. A large assortment of material was provided for the growers who attended the school last year, and was done at a tfact in ecluded technical papers, reference notesand a textboo It isbelieved that this school provides an opportunity for these highly-specialized cranberry growers to be well informed. The material made available supplies them with important referencematerial. Wisconsin is an agriculturally progressive state and enjoys national production leadership in many areas, including dairy products, sweet corn, peas, beans, cucumbers, pohay, beef and swine.

Root Congestion After long study and experience in cranberry growing, Dr. H. J. Franklin would liken the growth of cranberry roots in the sand over the peat to the roots of potted house plants that from long growth in a restricted quantity of soil have become root bound. He felt the addition of a layer of sand to the bog provided an increased layer of soil for root exploration and as such was responsible for the in- duced by all treatments applied during the blossoming period. Ap- plication two weeks after full- bloom had the greatest effect. Treated plants withstood 0°F with no significant increase in injury whereas untreated plants were seri- ously injured at 50F. DR.

Sauce was prepared by addition of 500 ml of water and 420 g of sugar to 500 g of berries from each treatment, boiling and maintaining at a rolling boil for 10 min. Evaluation by 10 testers was carried out by the Ranking Difference Method of Larmond (1967). Juice was pre- pared by grinding a 600 g sample of frozen berries in a household meat grinder, allowing equilibration to room temperature and pressing at 6000 lb. through an unbleached cotton cloth. The total juice extracted was diluted to 250 ml with water, an aliquot diluted X25 and read in a 1 cm cell on a Bausch and Lomb Spectronic 20 at 515 mu. This gave a relative measurement of the total pigment expressed from each treatment. cranberry producing areas are spread over a large part of the state creates no poblem in maintaining an efficient frost warning system. Sponsored by the Growers Associa- tion, the agricultural meteorologist utilizes wire services and radio networks to bring frost warnings to the attention of the growers.
