It was further pointed out that attention should be given to the practice of leaving too many vines and weeds in the boxes at the time of harvest, as well as the practice of leaving too little. These extremes often result m rapid breakdown of the fruit, ac- cording to experienced screen- house observers. It was suggested that the problem be thoroughly discussed at the winter meetings by those qualified — possibly through the medium of a panel discussion. The desirability of a pesticide mail questionaire to determine the effectiveness of the station's recommendations met with approval. There was agree- ment that many more growers should subscribe to the fresh fruit market reports issued weekly during the fall months. Unless there is greater intei-est in this regard, the group was informed that these reports would be dis- continued. These and a number of other important subjects were discussed in some detail at the Cranberry Advisory Committee meeting. The suggestions and advice of this committee were most helpful and are sincerely appreciated. The following members were present: Louis Sherman, F. Maynard Gif- ford, Arthur Handy, Ferris Waite, Ralph Thacher, Robert Hammond, Maurice Makepeace, Anthony Briggs, Raymond Morse, Robert St. Jacques, Darrell Shepherd, Robert W. Kleis, Frederick E.
