MEXICAN NATIONA Long Beach Added "South of Border" Help to Harvest Once was the time when "nat- ive" Cape Codders, Jerseyites, set- tlers of Wisconsin, Oregon and Washington, with native Indian Indian help, harvested the commer- cial cranberry crop of the country. LS ON PARRISH BOG With the advent of World War II, the fall scene changed dramatical- ly from the former pretty much domestic picture, even though Cape Verdeans, who sett ed in Southeastern Massachusetts, had becomet he principal Cape harvest- ers, and also to some extent in New Jersey, together with Italian immigrants. "Imported" labor has borne a considerable brunt of this work since the war, Jamaicans, Baham- ans, Kentuckians, and German prisoners of war having learned to harvest this American berry, nat- ive to certain colder areas of the country, and for the past two sea- sons Mexican Nationals have scooped cranberries on the Long Beach Peninsula, Washington. The group shown in the photograph are working on the bogs of Rolla Par- rish, a major grower of the West Coast. Mr. Parrish (CRANBERRIES, Nov. 1944) had 20 of these work- ers this year from October first. He has a total of about 90 acres, mostly o"d plantings of the "false boom" in that area of 25 years or so ago, which he is bringing back into producctive bog. He had a splendid crop this fall on about 30 of these. The Mexicans are workinjg only on Mr. Parrish's bogs, as he is the largest Peninsula grower, and il was felt that if the imported help was used on Mr. Parrish's bo3's the other growers' needs could be filled by local Do It With DYNAMITE! The modern way to . — build ditches •— remove stumps — excavate rocks — dig cores for dykes — loosen sub soil is with dynamite! Let me tell you results other growers have obtained, and the savings realized. Will be glad to consult with you on any work you are planning, and
