A. and Rut- gers University, showed a movie on the application of fungicides with a Hover-craft. This inter- esting equipment, which looks as though it belongs to the next generation, was developed by the Princeton University Department of Aeronautical Engineering which is cooperating with Dr. Stretch in tests to determine the practicability of applying fun- gicides on cranberries. The re- sults obtained, as evidenced by data presented by Dr. Stretch, in- dicates that this machine may have a use in agriculture. Frost Warning Fee to be Raised In a business session the re- port of the Frost Committee was given by Co-Chairmen Isaiah Haines and Joseph Palmer. There were 29 frost calls in the spring of 1965 and 33 in the fall. An analysis of the accuracy of the predicitions of the spring frost calls indicated that the evening forecasts were correct to within 6° in 65% of the warnings. The 24-hour outlook, however, was accurate to the same degree in only 46% of the forecasts. A unanimous vote of thanks was given by the membership to the Frost Committee and the Weather Bureau for their service to grow- ers in providing frost control in- formation. It was unanimously agreed to give the Committee authority to raise the frost fee as high as is necessary to meet the expenses of the teletype and answering services.
