The yield per acre for a growing section is not as im- portant as it is to an individual because the individual must di- vide his fixed per acre cost toy the number of barrels to get the per barrel cost. This has a great bearing on the profit. The percent- age of United States data shows the trend, and since 1950 or 1955 there has been a definate trend west. Possibly in the future more valuable data could be obtained by getting yield per acre in the sur- veys. Such data would give the number of people who harvested 300, 250, 200, 150 or 100 barrels per acre. This information would be much more valuable than such expressions as yield per acre. The next chapter of Cranberries in North America will be a sum- mary of the seven chapters which have appeared in Cranberries, starting with the September 1958 issue. /$» First Quarter NCA Sales Up Cranberry Juice is gaining in popularity as a breakfast fruit juice and a refreshing appetizer for dinner and through the day, according to Ocean Spray sales figures.
