Moreover, he has had experience with stickers when ap- plied through irrigation systems. The second 1973-74 cranberry shortcourse has been set for late January. Dr. Hugh Gardner will again lead a session on bog soils. This will be a continuation of last year's soils course and is meant to finish up his presentation of bog soil management and fertilizer use. Dr. Gardner is a specialist in soils from Oregon State University in CorvaUis. A third course is set for mid- March. It will center on the topic of cranberry fungus diseases and their control. Results of three years' sampling work on the twig blight fungus will also be revealed. Speak- ing at this session will be Iain MacSwan, plant pathologist at Ore- gon State University and Bernie Moore from the Plant Disease CUnic in CorvaUis. Complete information on each course will be sent to cranberry growers near the time they are scheduled to be held.
