. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. Massachusetts Oxygen N. J. Buys Whitesbog Deficiency Warning For ^Green Acres' The present cold weather and recent snow has resulted in conditions that could cause oxygen deficiency on flooded bogs. Cold weather is ex- pected to continue. The only practical method of elimina- ting the oxygen deficiency hazard is to remove com- pletely the winter flood at this time- Shallow-flooded, level bogs probably have most of the vines embedded in ice. These should not be touched. Deep- flooded, unlevel bogs should be fully drained if the grower can replace the flood later to prevent winter-killing. Growers without reflooding capacity must make the diffi- cult decision of 1) pulling off the flood to avoid oxygen-de- ficiency injury in hopes that present snow and ice will last into March, or 2) leave the flood on, protecting from win- terkill but taking the chance of leaf-drop. Chances seem better than 50-50 that the snow and ice cover will last. Whitesbog, one of the larg- est remaining cranberry and blueberry tracts in New Jer- sey was purchased for the state's Green Acres program the State Department of Con- servation and Development officially announced this month- The 3,000 acre tract is spread over Pemberton town- ship in Burlington County. The land adjoins Lebanon State Forest. It was reported the state paid $431,803 to purchase the property from the J. J. White Company. The transfer of the prop- erty to the state means a loss in $255,000 in ratables to Pem- berton township and that ap- proximately 350 acres were retained along Rte. 70 where the White Co. is developing new cranberry bogs and blue- berry fields and plans to erect new quarters for field work- MAY WE APOLOGIZE? . . for being late with this issue of Cranberries.
