Could Affect 1959 Yield The amount of rainfall in Oc- )er is important in the size of i crop for the following year, e shortage of rain should indi- te a smaller production in 1959, t there was a good deal of frost oding in October (even though jst loss still remained at 3,000 rrels at end of month), and this ly have kept the vines sufficient- moist to overcome the drop in ecipitation. With plenty of iter, most growers who could oded bogs after harvest for a ash clean-up. It is also felt achine picking did less manual image to vines, so that lack of tober rain may be offset as a ctor in the 1959 yield. October Chilly The month as a whole was more lan two degrees a day colder lan normal, a minus 70 inches ir the 31 days. Much of this lilliness took place from the mid- e of the month on. The year to ovember first has been minus LO degrees of normal. November Picking Less than a handful of growers ere still picking as usual into arly November.

Precipitation came the third week, with some southern marshes receiving two and one half inches. Adequate water sup- plies are now insured for winter flooding. Average rainfall for the cranberry areas for the year now shows a deficiency
