For the first six months of 1967 •rainfall has amounted to only inches, about inches less than normal. How- ever, in the first five days of July inches of rain oc- curred to make up most of the deficiency. As of now, water supplies on New Jersey bogs are much better than they have been in the previous three years of drought. Blossoming on cranberry bogs is about a week to ten days later than last year and at least two weeks later than usual. There will, apparently, be a long lingering period of bloom, as many open blos- soms and very small closed ones are observed on the same upright. In a few rare cases two new blossoming up- rights were observed to have issued from one terminal bud of an old upright. Black-headed fireworm was moderately abundant in the first generation, but seems to have been well controlled by parathion-DDT aireal applica- tions. Girdler moth flight is very heavy on some bogs, par- ticularly grassy ones. i» WJISIIII6T0N Weather With our hottest day of the year coming July 1 with 89 de- R. F.
