How- ever, little has been done with our youngest science. Electronics. Electronic control — automatic control—the words are almost syn- onymous. Radar, the most recent and most noted cevelopment of electronics, can play an important part of control for the grower. Thyratron control, an electronic control system for motors, has proven itself a revolutionary means of controlling motor output. Con- trolling large power by a very small input power is no longer just a hope for the future; it is here at this very moment. In the not too distant future the grower can control the flooding of his bogs from his home by a com- bination of numbers. Electronics can play a vital part in the grow- er's life by the many eflJicient con- trols it will be possible for him to use. The canning industry should find a large use of electronic devices— automatic heat controls, high fre- quency induction heaters, cookers in which the fruit mixtui'es can be cooked in seconds instead of hours or minutes. Before the war, hours were needed to dry plywood,; now, with high frequency induction ovens, it can be dried in minutes. Steak can be inserted into one of these ovens and pulled from with- in almost as one operation and be completely cooked, ready for eat- ing. Electronics has played a large service for nearly every in- dusty. In one of our steel plants I have watched a huge pig of steel rolled into a long, thin strip in just a few minutes, and with only one operator at the controls. Yes, electronics have a future with the cranberry industry as it expands into this new industrial era. The reader may ask how can the small grower be- come a part of this and receive the benefits of this new science. All the growers must contribute some- thing-. They must contribute an interested at
