It is a formula of chemicals, exact condi- tions of application, and persist- ence. Blueberries The blueberry crop has matui'ed very rapidly this season. Because of the dry weather, berry size has averaged smaller than usual, and many bushes on dry, sandy soil have dried up completely. In spite of this, the total crop still prom- ises to be the biggest on record for New Jersey, with the total somewhere close to 10 or 12 mil- lion pints. On July 8 and 9 blueberry breed- ers from eastern United States met at the Cranberry and Blue- berry Laboratory. There were 44 attenders, representing 14 differ- ent states. Professor Gilbert of the N. J. State University, and Dr. George Darrow organized the conference, which started with a short program at the Cranberry and Blueberry Laboratory in Pem- bei-ton, included tours to the blue- berry fields of Herbert Bebee, Jos- eph J. White, Inc., H. B. Scammell, Fred Scammell, and the Cutt Bro- thers. At an evening round-table breedei's from the various states reported on their worl^. Two items of particular interest were the in- spection of plantings of U-85 and DN-76 which Dr. Darrow plans to name this autumn. This gathering has apparently arrived at the point where it will be an annual affair. While on a short vacation trip C. A. Doehlert was able to spend a day at the Michigan Blueberry Experiment Station at South Ha- ven, Mich. Stanley Johnston, in charge there, has probably put in more years of blueberry research than any other person. He began his blueberry work at Michigan in 1923.

In gen- eral, however, it is deeper and contains more silt and finer sa
