This was to make a more com- plete enumeration of acreage and varieties. The survey was being made at the request of the "Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers' Association and was being financed by funds supplied by both the Wisconsin and the United States Department of Agriculture.

Questions will also be' asked on the use of sprinkler systems and the types of power units used. GEORGE DANA WISCONSIN, INJURED George Dana, son of Mr. and Mr3.
