We sent out 25 gen- eral warnings during the fall, with most coming during the month of October. It is estimated October 11. Temperatures on the of berries, or of the crop, was lost to frost. These los'ses occurred primarily on the nights of September 15, October 7 and that approximately 9,000 barrels bogs were in the range of 20 to 25 degrees on October 7 and from 12-19 degrees on October 11. On the night of October 11 it was 16 degrees at the State Bog.
