He gets the information to growers in many ways and spends much time out in the field, visiting, and set- ting out test plots. His writings in CRANBERRIE-^ have given wider spread to his studies. Wisconsin's Grass Problem He was not long in coming to the realization of the full impli- cation of the grass and weed Twelve problem in Wisconsin. He knew that in spite of often high pro- duction per acre, this could be re- duced and largely eliminated on the marshes. For several years he has been making extensive and large-scale research with the material Dala- pon upon a strictly experimental basis. He has applied it both by broadcasting and by use of spec- ially-designed swabs. Cranberries do grow and ma- ture (and remarkably well) in Wisconsin marshes diespite the heavy growth of grasses on so "many propertijes. These grasses have been attacked with various types of clippers for years, and with a low degree of effectiveness. Furthermore, there is in most methods of cliippers a mechanical injury to vines. He realized if the grasses could be eliminated, or largely so, this would be a big step forward for the Wisconsin industry. He is now convinced he is on the right track toward this with the right kind of chemics control. Some weed killers such as Dal apon, wh
