Each one of the bogs has two separate pieces so that they can be flowed independently of each other; also that each bog has a limited water supply. For purposes of identification, let's say that Mr. Jones owns one of these bogs, and has decided to held one of his sec- tions late, the other early; also that a Mr. Jackson owns the other and has decided to take the water off both of his sections early. Mr. Jones has the immediate ad- vantage over Mr. Jackson because his late water section increases the period he can kerosene by quite a few days. Another valuable ad- vantage is his having to flow only one of his sections for early Spring- frosts, thus saving his water sup- ply. Getting into the Summer Mr. Jones also holds his advantage in any drought by having saved his water supply and also because his late water section remains wet- ter longer into the Summer than the earlier drawn water. Because of the late blossoming period cf late water it is benefited by com- ing into bloom after the heavy in- festation of the fruit worm miller, and also by usually coming into bloom during a drier period than early water thus practically con- trolling the danger of the fungi causing fruit rots. Late Water—Better Quality Because of the better quality of late water berries, Mr. Jones has the advantage over Mr. Jackson by being able to his berries for possible higher prices, and by be- ing able to ship his berries a fur- ther distance. Disadvantages There are quite a few disadvan- tages however, of late water. These include the increased danger of late Spring frost due to the tender- ness of the unhardened buds. Also because of the lateness in the ber- ries ripening, they are more apt to be hurt by Fall frosts. One of the most serious disadvantages of late water is that it tends to increase vine growth so that it becomes too rank on some bogs. Our
