This might be due simply to the lack of plant food or a combination of other unfavorable growing condi- tions. The second upright is an average reasonably good upright but it still lacks the vigor needed to make berries of good size. The two uprights on the right are from well fertilized and otherwise well cared for bogs and are the sort which produce a really good crop. One hundred berries of the sort produced on the two right- hand uprights will fill twice as much spa"e in the cranberry pack- age as 100 berries from uprights like the two on the left. Thus, without any increase at all in the number of berries set, this sort of vigor can double the crop. Minor Elements By F. B. Chandler Mass. Cranberry Experiment Sta. Minor elements are very impoi't- ant in the growth of all plants and in most cases they have a great effect on the quality of the fruit. Knowing this, many plots have been used to study the effect on cranberries of the plant foods used in small quantity. So far, no de- finite knowledge has been gained from Massachusetts cranberry bogs on the elements which are bene- ficial. In one bog in one year the color of the vines was improved when all elements were used. In another bog in anoth-er year some of the toxic eflTects of copper were shown. Soils analysis has been helpful in relating minor elements to pro- duction in Washington according to an article in CRANBERRIES (June 1951, p 10) by R. Anderson Fisher. So far such a relationship has not been found in Massachu- ?etts. In Washington the high yie
