CRANBERRY BOOTH 

IN NOVA SCOTIA 

The Nova Scotia Department of 
Agriculture recently staffed a "Cran-
berry Booth" at the Atlantic Winter 
Fair in Halifax, Nova Scotia. : 

Thepurpose behind the design

The purpose behind the design 
of the cranberry booth at the Winter 
Fair, was: (1) To be educational to 
both school children and adults in 
various ways: 

T tra 
the cranberry from the flower stage 
to ripe fruit on the vine i a sim


to ripe fruitothe vine in a sim-
ulated bog with live vines. 

(b) Harvesting, showing hand 
rake and mechanical picker. 
(c) Map showing where cranber-
ries are grown in Nova Scotia. 
(d) Packaging, showing how Nova 
Scotia cranberries are sold as fresh 
fruit, fresh frozen and juice. 
(e) Display of new varieties. 
(f) Give away recipes on how to 
use cranberries. 
(g) Give away fact sheets on 
cranberries. 
(h) Juice dispenser where the 
public could sample cranberry juice 
at a nominal price. 
(2) To provide publicity to Nova 
Scotia cranberry growers in adver-
tising their products in hopes the 
consumer will purchase Nova Scotia 
produce. 

Material for the booth was sup-
plied by Nova Scotia cranberry 
growers; Chipman Apple Products 
Limited, Kentville; Canada Department 
of Agriculture; Nova Scotia 
Department of Agriculture.

Close to 10,000 recipe folders 
and 5,000 fact sheets were distrib-

uted during the 8 days of the Fair. 

Over 5,400 (7-oz.) cups of cran-
berry cocktail were dispensed. A 
number of gift bottles of cranberry 
cocktail were given away. A total 

of 210 gallons of cranberry cocktail 

was used 

The people who bought the 
juice tended to spend more time 
around the booth in asking ques-
tions about the cranberry industry. 

tIn many cases, this discussion 
branched into other lines of small 

fruit growing. The juice dispenser 
was a definite help in promoting 
public relations. 

The reaction toward the booth, 
by the public, was very favorable. 
The display provided an opportun-

ity to view an agricultural crop 
which otherwise might not be seen. 
The overall booth was manned 

by staff mainly from Nova Scotia 
Department of Agriculture, with 
help from Chipman's Products Lim-

ited, and Annapolis Valley Cran-
berries Limited, Kentville on a 3-
shift per day basis.

WASHINGTON CROP REPORT 
CITES INCREASE 

While according to the federal 
and state Departments of Agriculture, 
cranberry harvest totals are 
down in 1972 for the nation, Wash


ington and Oregon showed a pro


duction increase. 

According to Ed Frazier, Ocean 
Spray manager for the West Coast, 
Washington State's production for 
1972 totalled 156,696 barrels. This 
figure includes some, but a very 

small amount, of berries from Clatsop 
County, Oregon, said Frazier. 
Last year's production was 148,807 
barrels, showing an increase of 
about 8,000 barrels. 
Production figures from the 

Ocean Spray in Long Beach show a 
slight increase for Long Beach Peninsula 
cranberry growers with 43, 
789 barrels this year compared to 

last year's total of 43,367. 

The Markham Ocean Spray plantwhich receives berries from the 
Grayland and North Beach area, received 
over 7,000 more barrels this 
year than last.

November was a cold month, 
averaging 3.3 degrees a day below 
normal. Maximum temperature was 
640 on the 3rd and minimum 160 
on the 23rd. The only warmertan 
average days occurred on the 3rd 
and 20th. Cooler than average days

.88 inches is about 
3-1/4 inches above normal. This is 
only the fourth largest November 

precipitation in our records but the 

largest since the record of 10.61 
inches was set in 1945. There were 
13 days having measurable precipi-
tation with 2.14 inches on the 14-
15th as the biggest storm. We are 
now a monstrous 24 inches above 
our normal precipitation for the 
year to date and 32 inches above 
1971. We have already broken our 
record for precipitation for any one 
year. Surprisingly, there was only 

1/2 inch of snow considering the 
cold, wet conditions. 

Crop Report 

The official crop estimate re-
leased by the New England Crop 
Reporting Service for November 

indicates that the Massachusetts 
crop is 800,000 barrels, down from

9abou 

the original estimate of 900,000and over 250,000 barrels less than 
the 1971 record crop. There may 
be a slight adjustment of this total 
i later repordts. 

The big culprit responsible for 
this huge drop in production was 
spring frosts, especially on the nights 

of May 25 and June 11. Aiding and 
abetting were excessive rain in late 
June, causing some flooding at the 
hook stage and again in early September 
causing some scalding of 
berries, also some oxygen deficiency, 
poor pollination weather 

and a holy terror of a fall frost 
season. 

For the other states, New Jersey 
i at 175,000 barrels, up 15,000 
from earlier estimates, but much 
below last year. The Wisconsin crop

is unchanged at 800,000 barrels 
which is a record for them, Washington 
unchanged at 160,000 bar


rels and Oregon unchanged at 
90,000 barrels, also a record. The 
United States total is 2,025,000 

the 1971 record.

USDA FUNDS THREATENED 

., i 11 

A lawsuit filed in the nation's capital recently calls 
for a stop to an estimated $250 million in federal 
grants to land-grant university programs. The suit 

would put a crimp in a total estimated $750 million 

appropriated overall for programs at land-grant col-
leges and related institutions to develop farm tech-
nology of all kinds. 

The unprecedented action seeks an injunction 
against the use of the federal funds on the grounds 
that, contrary to Congressional intent, the monies 

involved are applied for the benefit of big agribusiness 
firms and research instead of small farmers and others 
in rural areas. 


Some 70 land-grant universities and related agricul-
tural experiment stations would be affected. Owing 
to the joint financial relationship between state and 

federal aid, both state and federal research would 
come to a virtual halt until a new spending policy 
was arrived at and new guidelines issued. 

The action demands that the policy-making and 

advisory machinery of land grant university research 
include representatives for independent farmers, farm 
workers, consumers, environmentalists and other rurall, 
interest affected by the research. 

The numerous complaints in the 40 legal size pages 
of the action included a demand that more funds be 
diverted from the development of pesticides and farm 
machinery and put instead into programs for job 
training and placement for laborers and farmers dis-
placed by more modern mechanization. 

The study charged that the land-grant university 
complex set up under the Morrill Act of 1862 had

help to farmers and rural communities that they fre-
quently wound up hurting the very people they were 
intended to serve. Examples given of injury to farmers 

included such machinery as tomato harvesters too ex-

pensive for some farmers to buy, thus putting them 
at a disadvantage with farmers who could afford the 
new technology. 

At this time, legal sources expected no action by 
the court until the defendants have time in which to 
answer the complaint. .

Normally, cranberry sauce is 

produced byblending and thermally 

processing a mixture of cranberries 

(or puree), sweeteners and water to 

a concentration such that it will 

form a gel. The adequacy of the 

process is determined by the spoon-

sheet test or by visual and physical 

evaluation of the gel; or more pre-

cisely, by refractometry. 

The gel forming property in cran-
berry sauce is the net effect of con-
centrations of pectic substances: 
protopectin, pectinic and pectic 
acids, together with cranberry sol-
ids, its acids, and added sweeteners. 
The gel forming property in cran-
berries varies considerably among 

cultivars. It varies also with matur-
ity, season, presumably with horti-
cultural practices, and conditions of 
storage. A study was made of spe-
cific pectic substances in cranberries 
and of their relation to gel capabil-
ity. 

When making sauce with cran


berries that have a low gel property,
then, to obtain a product that will 
form a satisfactory gel, either the 
quantity of cranberries in the formula 
must be increased, or the cranberry 
solids concentration in the 
sauce must be increased by the

evaporation of water. Conversely,. 

if the gel property of the cranberries 

is great, either a lesser quantity of 

cranberries in the formula is re-
quired, or the extent of evaporation 
of water may be less. The gel 
property of naturally occurring pectic 
substances can be expressed in a 
manner similar to that used for 
commercial pectin, which is the 
quantity of sugar with which a unit 
quantity of pectin will form a sat


isfactory jelly. 

gel-forming property of cranberries 

affects the proximate composition 

of the cranberry sauces. The con-

centrations of soluble solids in com-
mercial strained cranberry sauce 
have been reported to range from 
36.0-42.5 percent and in whole 
berry sauce from 36.0-44.5 percent 
(refractometer). A range in yieldfrom 9-11 cases sauce per barrel 
(100 lbs.) berries may be expected. 

Asimpleprocedure isneededto 
index the gelforming property of 

a given quantity of cranberries is 
used in a mixture of cranberries, 
sugar and water. When less .sugar is 
required, the pectic substances present 
are capable of forming a gel in 
the presence of greater concentrations 
of water. The minimum concentration 
of sugar required is 
therefore an index of the gel capability 
or gel power of the cranberries. 
This value can be used to 
adjust the formula quantity of 
cranberries necessary to produce a

parable to actual use It would en-
able bet foproduce 
processes used, and aid in develop-
ment of continuous, rather than

Procedure 

The test is based upon the mini-
mum concentration of sugar neces-
sary to form a satisfactory gel when 

' 

concentration of sugar necessary to 

a satisfactory gel. 

Prepare two batches of strained 
sauce from a given lot of cranberries 
differing only in sucrose content. 
The formulas should cover the rangeof sugar concentrations normally 

used in the production of commercial 
sauce. Suggested formulations 
are presented in Table 1. 

Variations in the gel power or Figure 1. Apparatus for preparation of gel index test cups 


Quickly, uniformly, bring each 
of the two mixtures to a boil in 
kettles equipped with stirrers, and 
simmer 5 minutes. Minimize evap-
poration by appropriate covers. Pass 
each mixture through 0.033 or 

0.030 sieve-size screens in a labora-
tory pulper. Promptly preparea-
series of 200 ml blends of the two 
sauces in 10% increments 200-0, 
180-20 . . .20-180, 0-200, each in 
8-oz. polystyrene cups. The test 
cups are prepared by boring a one-
inch hole in diameter in the side of 
the cup near the base, and reclosing 
the hole with tape (Figure 1). Cover 
the cups to minimize evaporation; 
hold approximately 20 hr at 700 F. 
Remove the covers, gently remove 
the tapes covering the openings be-
the greatest concentration of sucrose. 
Record the least concentra-
tion of sucrose at which the sauce 
neither protrudes (bulges from) nor 
flows through the opening. The 
concentration of sucrose in percent 
is designated as the gel power index 
of the cranberries. Figures 2 and 3 
show the test cups and their appearance 
when making the test, 
using the formulas previously suggested. 
In this test, the concentra-
tion of cranberries was maintained 
while those of sucrose and water 
are varied. The gel power of the 
cranberries tested as shown in Fig-

ures 2 and 3 was indexed at 36, 
which indicates the concentrationE 
of sucrose necessary to produce a

It's official, figures certified and' 
approved by Gov. Sargent and the 
Governor's Council will amend the 
constitution to allow the taxation 
of farmland at its present agricul-
tural use. The vote 1,440,093 for, 
534,143 against. MFBF has met, at 
the request of the governor, with 
the leaders of the S.O.S. Committee 
to bring forth enabling legislation. 

Taxation is the subject of another 
piece of legislation filed by MFBF 
relative to the filing dates of esti-
mated taxpayers. Those taxpayers 
who now derive at least two-thirds 
of their income from farming must 
file a declaration of estimated tax 
by January 15th orfile theirreturn, 
Under present Mass. laws, failure to 
do this results in assessments of 
penalty and interest. Legislation has 
been filed to allow filing of return 
by March 1st if an estimate has not 
been filed.

Food, farmers and inflation-

Now that the elections are over, 
let's take an objective look at the 
"soaring cost of food" in America. 
Maybe we can find some facts 
among the statistics: (1) In 1930, 
the consumer spent 24 percent of 
his income on food. (2) In 1960, 
the consumer spent 20 percent of 
his income on food. (3) In 1972, 
the consumer spends 16.3 percent 

of his income on food. 

Food prices are rising-no ques-
tion about that, but what causes 
the increase in price? (1) In 1952, 
the farmer received 49¢ of each dollar 
spent on food. (2) Today, the 
farmer receives 38¢ of each dollar 
spent on food. 

Is farmer's income rising?During 
the years when income for labor 
rose a total of 130 percent, farmers' 
prices for food products rose a 
total of 6 (six) percent! 

Who is covered by O.S.H. Act? 
Department of Labor has issued a 
clarifying policy statement defining 
specific employers covered by O.S. 

H.A. The statement specifically 
identifies the following as employers 
covered by the Act: (1) Professional 
persons, such as physicians 
and attorneys. (2) Nonprofit organizations, 
trade associations. (3) Agricultural 
employers who employ 
one or more persons. Members of 
the immediate family of the farm 
employer excluded.

Bingham of Norfolk county has 
been honored as the agent-of-themonth.

WASHINGTON REPORT 

Continuedfrom Page I 

The Long Beach Peninsula and 
Grayland area make up the heart of 
Washington State's cranberry in 

dustry. 

Frazier noted, "This was a very 
fast season. Cranberry harvesting 
was completed nine days earlier 
this year." He attributed this year's 
speedy harvesting to good weather.

speedyharvesting

to good weather. 

The nation's five top cranberry 
producing states are Washington, 
Oregon, Massachusetts, Wisconsin 
and New Jersey. 

Total U.S. production for 1972 
was listed at 2.03 million barrels 
which means the crop for this year 
is off 11 per cent from last year. 

East Coast cranberry producers 
were hindered this year by un-
favorable and abnormally cold 

weather. 

OREGON FREEZENOT 

THOUGHT DAMAGING 

The wave of freezing mid-December 
weather that forced tempera-
tures down to at least 100 F in the 
Bandon area did not appear to 

cause much dormant bud injury on 
local bogs. Encouragingly, the first 
upright samples taken since the 
freeze do not show much more 
damage than is normal for cranberry 
buds at this stage of the winter. 
While additional checking of 
buds needs to be done, I do feel 
that Southwest Oregon bogs got 
through the extreme cold in pretty 
good shape. 

One reason bud damage appears 
minimal is because cranberry buds 
are most resistant to cold injury 
during the earlier portion of the 
dormant season. Bogs were har-
vested and had experienced some

cold weather in November. As a re-
suit, they were pretty well dormant 
and so in the best physical condi-
tion to withstand cold temperatures 

when the freeze hit. 

Another factor in. the favor of 
cranberry growers was an unusual 
snow cover on the bogs. I under-
stand that snow covered most of 
the vines during some of the coldest 

nights. Snow would tend to insulate 
uprights from extreme temperatures 
and this probably is the most im-
portant reason that only minor 

freeze injury to dormant buds has 

en found so far. Sampling of 
buds to determine winter injury 
will continue, however, to be sure 

that the extent of possible damage 
a week or more of record cold 
temperatures could have caused has 

not been overlooked.

DR. TOTH FINDS THAT 
FERTILIZERS DO NOT POLLUTE 

Dr. Stephen Toth, professor of 

soils at Rutgers, College of Agricul


ture, finds that fertilizers do not 

pollute streams and ponds. Dr. Toth 

says that the soil must be saturated 
with water before this type of pollution 
can occur. 

Nitrates are nitrogen compounds

necessary for Their

necessary for plant growth. Their

accumulation in ponds and streams 
may produce algae, recognized as a 
green scum floating on the surface 
of the water, and thus deplete the 
oxygen needed for marine life and 
natural self-purification, caused by 

the decaying vegetation producing 
enough nitrate, phosphorous and 
potash to promote the growth of 
algae. 

t that most 
the pollutants in our streams 
are related to urban sources and 
that fertilizer applied to agricultural 
land does not contain enough of 
the fertilizer elements to be a pol


lutant.

THE o 

OF THE COIN 

When people hear the words 
"water problem" they often think 
of a lack of water-water shortages, 
droughts, crop failures, and so on 
But just as important is the rela-
tively unpublicized problem of too 
much water in the wrong place. 

Agricultural drainage-the removal 
and disposal of excess water-has 
made agricultural development pos-
sible on much of the most preduc-
tive land in the United States. 
Today, an estimated 130 million 
acres or about one-third of all the 

cropland in the U.S. is drained

YELLOWING OF UPRIGHTS 

OREGON

aroIN 

INOEO 

by David Keir 

County Extension Agent 

Yellowing of uprights is a prob-
lem on some bogs that often defies 
permanent correction. After work-

ing with Azmi Shawa for several 
days in checking local bogs, it is 
evident that vine yellowing is more 
widespread than one would think. 
There are apparently different types 
of yellowing, however, each of 

which appears to be due to different 

causes. 

The first type of yellowing is 

around dead spots in bogs. Here an 
area of vines typically is dying out 
with injured vines on the perimeter 

satisfactorily pinned down. Scraping, 
re-sanding and replanting are 
usually the only cure. 

A second type of bog yellowing 

does not develop into dead spots

that become more noticeable to


whard the latter part of the year or 
even after harvest. It is felt that 

this conditin is usuay due to a 

this condition is usually due to an 

imbalance of nutrients in the bog 

soil. For example, high phosphorus 
or high lime levels could promote 
just this sort of thing with zinc, 
iron or magnesium deficiency. 

A third type of upright yellow


ing in local bogs has been listed as 

probably due to root nematodes. 

Here there is much more lemon 

yellow color showing than is evident 

in the above types of yellowing. 

How widespread this soil pest is 

and how much damage it can 

actually cause to cranberries has 

yet to be determined. But that its 

feeding does weaken and yellow bog 

areas seems obvious from tests al


ready run by Oregon State Univer


sity specialists.

You take your orange, for example...r 
your rose...or even your cotton. Very popular 
types. Your kumquat, on the other hand, will 
never make it. Nor will your mushroom. 

But your cranberry might. And it won't be 
an accident. Right now at Ocean Spray a lot of 
bowl fans are working their left ends off to make 

it go. They do it by thinking up millions of new

cut of the ticket sales and TV rights.
