They will harvest these at the end of August and ship them to the Ocean Spray plant at Markham for fresh processing. In addition, they also grow varieties BD, McFarlin, Pilgrim, and Stevens, as well as some others. They have two problems in their cranberries. One of them is a weed, cotton top, and the other is a fungus, cotton ball. They dry harvest all of these with the Darlington machine.

Fortunately, we were there on a moist day since Jim Thomas tells us that the catalytic convertors on new cars often set fire to the wood chips and the peat on the dikes. This operation also grows blue- berries with the varieties Blue Ray, Blue Crop, Jersey, and Berkeley being the primary ones.

The Pacific Northwest growers are doing a fine job of growing cranberries and we appreciated our interesting, educational trip. John A.
