. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. growers, are cooperating already with the Cranberry Station in the design and testing of various sys- tems for irrigation. It should be noted that the Soil Conservation Service is available to give engi- neering and surveying advice and assistance to the growers who are interested in developing irrigation facilities, establishing reservoir dikes and securing grades and levels. Cultural Experimentation: Pre- liminary experiments with insecti- cide concentrates applied by air- craft show great promise for eco- nomical insect control, and further work in this direction is indicated. Other phases of insect control, the weed control research program, the study of water relationships in bog soils, and cheaper methods of fer- tilizer applications all require close attention and we at the Station are laying emphasis on these problems. Dr. H. F. Bergman, U. "s. D. A., for over 20 years a student of dis- ease problems in cranberries will retire next September. We hope to have a pathologist appointed to continue this valuable work in cranberries and other fruits. Forecastsâ Frost Forecasting: Considerable progress has been made by the younger men of the staff in carry- ing on the unique frost forecasting service developed by Dr. H. J. Franklin. Keeping Qaulity Forecast: As in the last few years, two keeping quality forecasts will be issued from the Station at times when they will be useful to growers as guides to the management prac- tices best suited to the raising of quality fruit. Drought Forecasts: Because of this year's heavy losses, an at- tempt will be made at the Station during the next growing season, to forewarn growers when weather conditions appear to be too dry. This work will, of neccessity be preliminary in nature. Winter Injury Forecasts: When and if Winter-killing conditions, or oxygen deficiences develop in Winter flooding waters, warnings will be issued from the Station. Varietiesâ Researc
