(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. WANTED OC3 WIDE TRACK TRACTOR i CARLSON MFG. KINGSTON, MASS. \ 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. .. n a en n 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. Continuedon Page 11 . 3 lufti oonn DIV.

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 were the46th 12th 1 were the 4-6th, ad-12th, 14-19tht 21-25th and 29-30th. Precipitation totalletotalled 77.88d inches which is .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. Ei READ S R R. F.MORSE & SON, Inc. Serving Agriculture j Helicopter Application Cranberry Highway Division West Wareham, Mass.

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.

Weckel and Barry SwansonQA pex^oM~b~~ ~ Department of Food Science University of Wisconsin-Madison 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 cranberries under conditions com-atisfactory gel or alternately, the parable to actual use It would en- able bet foproduce processes used, and aid in develop- ment of continuous, rather than batch processes. 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 cranberries tested as shown in satisfactory gel with 30 cranberries standard in the formula.

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.

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. ^ * f , ;* t j ^, J r ,;- - 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. .

Cranberryproduction in the United States is now estimated at 756,400 barrels. The crop harvested in 1946 amounted to 857,100 bar rels and the average productionfor the ten-year period 1936-45 is 638,830 barrels. The 1947 season in New Jersey was unfavorable for cranberries, and the crop of 70,000 barrels is 31 per cent below last year.

The cabinet, which was found in a scrapyard, also provides a dry place for storing leftover treated seed in labeled jars.

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 types gyellowing diAgramsa ls eoned of show yellow and orange uprights 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.

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. .. n a en n 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. Continuedon Page 11 . 3 lufti oonn DIV.

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. Ei READ S R R. F.MORSE & SON, Inc. Serving Agriculture j Helicopter Application Cranberry Highway Division West Wareham, Mass.

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.

Weckel and Barry SwansonQA pex^oM~b~~ ~ Department of Food Science University of Wisconsin-Madison 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 cranberries under conditions com-atisfactory gel or alternately, the parable to actual use It would en- able bet foproduce processes used, and aid in develop- ment of continuous, rather than batch processes. 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 cranberries tested as shown in satisfactory gel with 30 cranberries standard in the formula.

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.

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. ^ * f , ;* t j ^, J r ,;- - 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. .

Cranberryproduction in the United States is now estimated at 756,400 barrels. The crop harvested in 1946 amounted to 857,100 bar rels and the average productionfor the ten-year period 1936-45 is 638,830 barrels. The 1947 season in New Jersey was unfavorable for cranberries, and the crop of 70,000 barrels is 31 per cent below last year.

The cabinet, which was found in a scrapyard, also provides a dry place for storing leftover treated seed in labeled jars.

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.

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 types gyellowing diAgramsa ls eoned of show yellow and orange uprights 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.
