. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. Wisconsin Rapids airport sinc6 last spring. They have now gone and the temporary barracks estab- lished there dismantled. In Wisconsin considerable atten- tion is paid to appearance of the fall bud, and this is very reavy, and, given normal conditions, should have a crop of "better than 125,000" next year, Goldsworthy estimates. Vines were going into the winter in very good shape, and everyone had plenty of water for winter flooding. END OF HARVEST TIPS TO MASSACHUSETTS GROWERS J. Richard Seattle, Associate County Agent of Plymouth County (Mass.), after consultation with Dr. Franklin, issued the fo'lowing "tips" to area growers at the end of October: If Fall Clean Up Flood—A fall clean-up flood should be put on right after harvest, whether it is time to treat the Girdler or not. The water should be high enough to clear all the vines and make sure that none of the fallen leaves lodge on the higher places on the bog. If the bogs are not cleaned up in this way, fallen leaves will lodge under the vines, where they are harmful to the growth of the vines and favor injury by frost and infestation by the cranberry girdler. TIRaking—Any raking of the vines that is done should be car- ried out lightly and carefully un- der the immediate supervision of an experienced man. Raking and sanding of dry bogs should be put off until early spring. When these operations are carried out on dry bogs in the fall they tend to in- crease the danger of winter killing. USanding—Because of the gen- eral increase of the prevalence of the cranberry girdler it is espec- ially desirable at this time to give as much attention to resanding as possible. For the information of cranberry growers, the Triple A payment for sanding wi 1 be con- tinued this year at the same rate as last season, namely per acre where at least V2 inch of sand is distributed over the bog. industrial chemicals and specialties manufac
