A morning session of talks took place at the Sweetwater Casino and following lunch a tour of the Rut- gers Research bogs was conducted. Myron Flint, Jr., of the New Jer- sey Crop Reporting Service, gave the estimates for the 1972 cranberry crop. (These figures are shown else- where in this issue.) Walter Fort, New Jersey Field Representative for the Marketing Order, spoke on the workings of the Marketing Order. The meeting to determine the set-aside for 1972 had not yet been held. The Marketing Order had estimated a national crop of milUon barrels with the Wis- consin figure up considerably for the previous crop estimate. Cran- berries stored in freezers at this time were 185,000 barrels less than last year and there was an estimated need of 500,000 barrels for the "pipe ; -These figures suggested the possibility of a smaller set-aside than in 1971. Phil Marucci spoke on the Frost Committee's experimentation with noon formulae for predicting cran- berry bog minimums. The Frost Committee, consisting of Isaiah Haines, Lou Grant, Earl Kershner and Eddie Budd, has been investi- gating a few new formulae for the past several years. The old Bliss formula has proven very useful and quite accurate over the past thirty years. However, the data in calcu- lating this formula is not taken until one-half hour after sunset and there is a need for more advanced warn- ing, especially by smaller growers. Results with two of the new form- ulae in the past five years have been very promising, with the accuracy equivalent to that of the BHss form- ula. (An article on this is being pre- pared for cranberries.) Ed Lipman spoke of his exper- iences as President of the New Jer- sey State Board of Agriculture.
