. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. Mass. Cranberry Station and Field Notes by J. RICHARD BEATTIE Extension Cranberry Specialist. Joe Kelley The hig-hlight of the 72nd annual meeting of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association held August 18 at the State Bog was the well deserved recognition given to Joe Kelley for his long and faithful service to the cran- berry industry as he approaches his retirement this fall. The old expression that "it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy" expresses the feeling of his many friends. Much will be written in this issue of CRANBERRIES concerning Joe's outstanding service to his industry, but the writer would like to add his own personal tribute. It was largely under Joe's gui- dance that a very green Vermont- er was trained in ways of our industry. His help, patience and understanding is deeply appreci- ated. Those who have had Joe as a teacher as well as the many growers that he has helped have tremendous respect for his prac- tical, down-to-earth approach to bog problems and agree that they have yet to meet his equal in this regard. We all wish Joe and Mrs. Kelley the very best in the years ahead. The Massachusetts Crop Massachusetts growers have produced another fine crop of cranberries, according to the esti- mate released August 18 by C. D. Stevens of the New England Crop Reporting Service at the annual meeting of the above association Mr. Stevens placed the 1959 Massachusetts crop at 610,000 barrels which equals our second largest crop if this estimate holds up throughout the harvest. He also stated that the number of crop reporters have decreased from a record high of 238 in 1958 to 218 this year. While these co- operators represent 56 percent of the crop, more are needed. We sincerely hope that the next 3 monthly requests for this vital crop information will show an in- crease in the number of cooper- ators. Accurate crop estimates are necessary for the development of sound marketing
