One ad- vantage of the electrical systems, Mr. Pappi says is that there is lower insurance on the pumphouses and equipment. Production at the Log Swamp property, which is near the Laken- ham cemetery, in North Carver is 3,400 barrels a year. Total pro- perty there, including upland and woodland is about 150 acres. Some of this property is at present a little weedy, and not as almost spotless as the Perkins and Patter- son bogs. There is a large screenhouse on the bog with boxes and equipment including a sand loader and serens, but the packing house is used only for storage. The Partnership Property The third property, that owned with Heleen is now known as the "Log Swamp Bog," and is also located off Route 28, on the line between Carver and Middleboro, with about half of the 60 acres in each town. It too is divided about evenly between Blacks and Howes. This bog has both gravity flowage and pump and consists of three divisions: the Log Swamp, from which the entire holding takes its name, the Holmes and the Wash- burn, 15 pieces in all. Operation of this is under the title of the Log Swamp Cranberry Company, Inc., of which Mr. Heleen is presi- dent and general manager and Pappi, treasurer and secretary. Heleen attends to frost and other direct problems at the Log Swamp bogs, while Pappi, as sole owner takes complete charge of the other two, doing his own frost flowage and other supervision.
