This Carlisle bog is the nly one in Massachusetts from â¢hich, while making no guarantee, ie owners sell vines in good faith, elieved to be entirely free from alse blossom. Cuttings are always eing taken to many points in the ranberry-growing' areas of the fnited States, to Canada, and even few to Europe. Some years a umber of acres have been cut. 'his bog is a little warmer than ape Cod in the months of May nd June, but is colder in Septem- er and October. lis Big Interest Now, the New Middleboro Bog Handy's chief interest at the moment is obviously the building f the new bog at Middleboro. 'his is to be along Route 28 (main ^ape highway) and west of the Jew Bedford road from the Mid- leboro rotary traffic circle. This 3 a piece of property upon which Tandy says he has had his mind or the past 10 or 15 years as be- ag admirably suited for cranberry og. His newest partner, Walter >. Rowley, living at West Ware- am, and a civil engineer, also ad a bog in this area in mind, lowley has been interested in ranberry growing for the past ozen years. Three years ago Rowley began â uying up property for the new Middleboro enterprise. So far he las closed sales with 40 different 'wners and still the deal is not omplete. In all the area takes in ibout 600 acres or more. The property is fed by spring )rooks, and Handy and Rowley ex- )ect ample water supply with a hree-foot drainage drop, water â¢ventually making its way into the Taunton river at Middleboro. The mmediate goal, as previously ;tated, is to put in 40 acres, these low well under construction. These vill be in two locations. One will lie on both sides of the 2ape highway, a little to the south )f the traffic circle and the junc- ;ion of the "old" Taunton road. Dn the west side there will be a reservoir, 140 acres in extent, with la depth of 4 to 6 feet, this to be back from the highway about 50 feet. Forty acres are to be built
