More important to the owners of the bogs flooded than th-e im- mediate loss was the long-range effect of the salt uporr the vines. Drs. Franklin and Bergman exam- ined the St. Jacques and Grassi bogs, and could not see that they were immediately damaged, but could not tell definite'y for some time. As both these bogs were hit by flood waters twice within six years it was said there was the possibility of adverse accumulative effect. They say it was ascertained in the hurricane of 1938 that some bogs which were under salt water for as long as 48 hours were not damaged.
