At these meetings many 'acts come to light and receive publicity. Statistics presented at a recent meeting show that in 1946 Oregon produced 16,100 barrels of berries which were worth nearly $500,000 and Hansell predicts this figure will be doubled by 1949. Oregon cranberry growers are progressive and ever ready to try new ways of planting and harvest- ing. During the war when labor was scarce, Jim Olson of Bandon invented the first wire basket water scoop which saved expense and crops. The Hoyt mechanical picker was the first mechanical picker to be used in Oregon, but many mechanical devices have been invented since. Overhead sprink- ling is used for irrigation, frost control and heat control. (Cran- berries grow between the temper- atures of 28 to 85 degrees.) New warehouses are equipped to handle water-picked berries, some of which go to the cannery at Co- quille or to the fresh market.
