Telephone: Hancock 6-0830 WISCONSIN MAY HAVE 50 WESTERN PICKERS THIS FALL Increased Interest in Me- chanical Harvesting and In Dry Picking Being Shown as Possible Way of Cutting Costs. Indications of a possible con- siderable change in Wisconsin har- vesting may be evidenced this com- ing fall, when it is estimated there may be about 65 picking machines in operation. There appears the possibility that about 50 of these may be Western Pickers and these would be mostly, at least, used in dry raking picking, which would be a distinct departure from the gen- eral Wisconsin system of harvest- ing on the flood. While there may be 50 Westerns the other 16 or so would be Case machines which operate mostly in water. Newell Jasperson of the well- known Whittelsey Cranberry Com- pany has ordered four Western Pickers and has spent a good deal of time trying to figure out the most efficient and economical sys- tem of machine handling of har- vesting berries. He has previously experimented with the Case, a wet picker. However, he has considered that dry raking would eliminate a lot of handling, which adds to the cost. Less handling means less labor which would be very desirable in view of probable labor shortages next f
