Such a gloomy prospect has occurred only twice in the last 21 years. The forecast, therefore, is for poor keeping, unless cranberry growers use protective measures. With a strong market prospect and an urgent need for production, we encourage you to consider "late holding" and fungicide treatments to reduce field and storage rots this year. We feel that the expense of rot control in 1979 will be much less than the lost value of unusable fruit
