Bert presented a paper on the effects of one hormone type compound on the aging of nema- todes. Dr. Chester Cross attended the Annual Meeting of the Massachu- setts Farm Bureau held in Seekonk, Mass. on November 12-13. Crop Report The official crop estimate re- leased by the New England Crop Reporting Service for November indicates that the Massachusetts crop is 890,000 barrels up from the earlier estimate of 835,000 and about 70,000 barrels more than the 1972 crop. There was a soUd potential for a possible million barrel crop as late as the last week of August but a hot, humid period caused a considerable amount of scald or cooking, especially in the Early Blacks. Some growers suf- fered as much as a 20 percent loss, but the overall average was prob- ably about 10 percent. Thankfully, Howes were only slightly injured which was important for the fresh fruit market. This along with poor set on bogs in the Carver area cut the crop by probably 100,000 or more barrels. For the other states. New Jersey. is at 215,000 barrels, up 15,000 from eariier estimates and also ahead of last year. Wisconsin un- changed at 790,000 barrels, off shghtly from last year's record crop. Washington is at 125,000 barrels, down 10,000 from earlier and off nearly 30,000 barrels from last year. Oregon is unchanged at 100,000 barrels, just slightly less than in the record year of 1972. The United States total is 2,120,000 barrels, up 60,000 from earlier estimates and about 42,000 barrels more than 1972. Weather November was a cool, dry month.
