TAylor 6-2341 when you can relax after August 1st and harvest berries in September and October without a mess of worms and webbed berries in the picking boxes. I have attempted to correlate late fruitworm activity with monthly mean temperatures below normal for May, June, July and August using some of my recent records and inspection reports of the New England Cranberry Sales Co. which go back many years. A cool, wet spring wasn't necessarily the fore-i runner of trouble if July and August were considerably above normal, but if July and August were at or only slightly above normal, fruit- worm activity remained behind schedule after a cool spring and worms in berries resulted. When the sums of the monthly means for May, June, July and August to- talled 2 or more degrees below normal, fruitworms were trouble- some in early shipments. In a year such as 1967 when the departure for the summer was minus °, or 1924, 1926 or 1956 when de- partures were minus 6° or more, severe problems resulted with worms in harvested fruit late into the fall. g=iti!::itifc«rSS3S=a=«r=8rS£i£:Srl^^.
