HSummaryâWith no direct re- ports from the West Coast, where conditions were good, the outlook for the total cranberry crop is not highâsomething over 600,- 000, but perhaps not more than 625,000 may be in prospect, but end of July is too early for accur- ate prediction. Experiment With Sprinklers At Stillman Bog An experimental sprinkler sys- tem has been installed on a sec- tion 90 by 110 feet on the bog operated by Miss Ellen Stillman and father at Hanson, Mass., this piece being between two other sections of approximately the same size and exposure. With the latter two unsprinkled on either side and sprinklers used on the middle strip, it is expected a good demonstration of what sprinklers can do may be obtained. So far this summer Nature has provided the optimum of rain nec- essary and the system has not been used by Miss Stillman, but if August now coming in is as dry as it has been the past few years there should be opportunity to test the system for irrigation. One of the primary purposes of the ex- periment is to determine what ef- fect this sprinkler irrigation will have on the size and the quantity of berries. Sprinkler heads are simply small, revolving sprinklers. A 2 inch Deming centrifugal pump and a 22 horse power International.

For this rea- son, large pipe sizes were used throughout to eliminate friction losses and to concentrate attention on the performance of different nozzles. The main is 4 inch pipe with 2 Â¥2 inch headers. This set- up will give rain drops when oper- ating at low pressure,
