However avail- iable phosphorous in the soil and phosphorous content of cranberry tissue were significantly increased by phosphorus fertilization and this may bring about higher production in 1964. The source of phosphorus which yielded the highest increase in phosphorus content of plants was superphosifliate, followed by mono- ammonium phosphate and rock phos- phate. In a paper co-authored by Philip E. Marucci and Robert S. Filmer results of cross pollenation tests in cranberries were described. In cages in which pollen of several var- ieties were made available in sect- ions of turf and in which a colony of bees was placed, the percentage pollenation of Early Blacks, Howes and Champions was notably higher than in check areas surrounding the Icage. This may have been the re- jsult of extremely high concentra- tions of bees in the cage. However Champion vines set berries much more heavily than average at a lo- cation on a bog where Shaws Suc- icess and MacFarlins surrounded the Champions on three sides. Phil Marucci reported excellent control of cranberry tipworm by comimercial applications of a com- bination of parathion plus This mixture greatly reduced dam- ! age by this serious pest from sever- lal properties which usually had sev- i:ere infestations. Sparganothis fruit- tworm was well controlled commer- * daily with sevin. In experimental I plots guthion, parathion and sevin [have given very good control for six [Successive years. ' Milton Strieker, a prominent New Jersey beekeeper, gave a very in- (teresting talk on bees. He used an , actual hive for purposes of illustra- !tion. Mr. Strieker pointed out that bees can normally barely make a .surplus of honey on t
