T'ne program, with these three cranberry counties leading, is expected to be extended eventually to every county in New England to rid the Northeastern United States of this pest which is so destructive to cranberries and, trees alike. "You have only to take a trip down in Barnstable County", Mr. Anderson said, "to see how success- ful our last year's experiment pro- gram was—you will notice immed- iately the green foliage. We did a real job ; He indicated there were every expectation of similar success in Plymouth County this spring, especially as the program is planned for a month earlier. On the Cape about 8,000 acres were perforce left unsprayed because the insect had, progressed too far in its life span before some areas were reached. In telling of the program in Barnstable County, Mr. Anderson said it had been necessary to 'guess at the cost, and this had been estimated at about $ an acre. The county contains about 410 square miles, or about 223,000 acres. The cost came to $230,000, or just about the dollar an acre predicted. Cost was borne by the Cane towns, the military (units at Camn Edwards and Wellfleet) and the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture. Plymouth County has a minimum of 360,000 acres to 380,000 acres which should be sprayed, out of its total of 440,000. These include woodland, cranberry bogs and oth- er rural pa
