Extremes in emperature were 83° on the 19th ind 18° on the 8th. A record low )f 28° for the date was recorded on ^pril 28th. Two blueberry fields in lake Pond recorded unofficial tem- leratures of 16° on this date. There were 10 rainy days in the nonth and rainfall totaled nches. This is about of an nch above normal. For the first bur months of 1972 the rainfall las amounted to , which is inch above normal for this period. About 200 acres of cranberry bogs in the state have had the winter flood removed. Most of the remain- ing acreage will probably have the water taken off on the traditional May 10th date. No frost damage has been sustained on the early- drawn bogs. Blueberries are very well budded up but a potential threat of exces- sive mummy berry disease losses exists in Burlington County this year. April's cool, wet weather was very favorable for the primary phase of this disease and an unusually large number of the "mummy cup" stage developed in many fields. Tractors were not able to manipu- late in many of the wet fields and this prevented prompt timing of control treatments. Phil Marucci reports weather conditions favorable for mummy disease in blueberries.
