Variety 35, Cropper and Wilcox produced the greatest average yields. Ben Lear, an early ripener like Early Black, is far more productive than the latter and LeMunyon, a native New Jersey variety, is one of the leading varieties in Wisconsin test plots, he said. Marucci warned growers to use caution with agricultural pesticides, taking heed of the time interval between application and harvest. He also said that nine years of monitoring at the research center clearly supports early drawing as opposed to late drawing of the winter flood. BETSY CARPENTER, Division of Rural Resources, Department of Agriculture, said the NJDA has completed a preliminary list of 13 sites suitable for long-term agricul- tural leasing. These sites include Reeves Bogs, Beaver Dam, North Branch Mt. Misery Brook, Deep Run, Iricndship, Howardsvillc and the old Bathgate property. WILLIAM E.
