(Cranberries Photo) "Basket Scoop" Used in Oregon For Wet Raking- Water raking was largely i-e- sorted to this past season by many growers of the Southern Oregon area and some of these used a simply-constructed "basket scoop", originally conceived by Sumner Fish and then produced in coop- eration with Jim Olson, who had welding experience. Many bogs in the Bandon area are of Improved McParlins that mostly do not dry- scoop satisfactorily because of short, tangled vines, with berries growing close to the ground. Vacuum pickers have proven suc- cessful in this variety of vine, but have been considered slow. In describing this scoop Olson says it worked very well on vines too short for the Wisconsin water- rake The basket-scoop", which is really not a scoop at all as the term is generally used by growers. but actually a basket, or "dip- per". It is made entirely of weld- ing rods, placed about one-quarter inch apart to allow water and leaves to drain out. The user simply dips the "basket-scoop" into the water, taking off the ber- ries as they float on the vines. To the basket are attached han- dles of aluminum tubing. The handles are of varying length, but long enough so that a picker does not have to bend too mu:h. He spreads the handle to suit his grip, and then dips, or swings into the vines.
