WASHINGTON At the end of November weather was mild and comfortably warm and growers were starting in to prune. There were one or two nights of frost during the week of the 17th when temperatures during the night were down to regrees. D. J. Crowley points out that Washington has produced .50 bar- rels of cranberries for the first time in history, and the growth to this figure has been steady, step- ping up a little each year for the past five years. This, he feels, is a healthy way to grow, rather than a big crop and then a drop back the next year, and as this has not been the case he feels the Wash- ington progress is very satisfact- ory. Cranguyma procuced a little over 700 barrels this year and so was not a big factor in Washington production, but should be by next year as maturity is reached. Mr. Crowley has hopes of get- ting a new office and laboratory building at Long Beach, as the sta- tion is badly in need of it. He is not sure this will be accomplished during the winter, but hopes it may be. Notes Jimmie Olson and Sumner Fish of Baiidon, Oregon, visited the sta- tion during November. Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Clarke of Cranguyma plan to leave the early part of December for Washington, and he expects to visit eastern cranberry sections curing the Christmas holidays. D. J. Crowley of the Washington Cranberry Experiment Station was a speaker at a recent meeting of Long Beach Peninsula Cranberry club, which was attended by about 50. He discussed fungi which at- TILLER MT/w 9 Full horsepower motor A SUndard (>»o speeds- forward arnJ reverse. • Positive iclion. multi- ple disc clutch. 9 Full sized '/lietwtnc alloy steel tines.
