Charles Brodel of the Massachusetts Cranberry Experiment Station attended the eastern branch meeting of the Entomological Society of America in Hartford, Conn., from Sept. 29-Oct. 1. Chuck is a member of the information committee. Dr. Karl Deubert attended a conference at Dow Chemical Co. in Midland, Mich., on Sept. 20-21.

The reason for the late start was poor color and small berries. However, by the 25th, both color and size had improved. Quality, with a few exceptions, appears to be excellent. No frost warnings at this writing —with about 50 percent of the crop picked-but there were a couple of close calls in late August and about the middle of September.
