Should it come true, the cranberry crop will be a record buster for the second year in a row. Small wonder if there are signs of buoyancy in the bogs. Not only does the size of the crop promise to be excellent, but demand remains high and the good '78 price promises to at least hold. There are small signs, too, of reasons for thumbs up.

. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. iai. CRANBERRIES Good year ahead! The first forecast of cranberry production by the USDA is most promising. Should it come true, the cranberry crop will be a record buster for the second year in a row. Small wonder if there are signs of buoyancy in the bogs. Not only does the size of the crop promise to be excellent, but demand remains high and the good '78 price promises to at least hold. There are small signs, too, of reasons for thumbs up. Buyers are looking for bogs. Investment in machinery and supplies is far from lagging. And more people are showing up at the annual growers meetings. Massachusetts is the only cranberry growing state expected to produce a smaller crop this year, according to the USDA statisticians. However, John S. Norton, who is on the staff of the Massachusetts Cranberry Experiment Station, predicts that the '79 crop will exceed the '78 crop by per cent. We're going to be optimists and go with John. Most of the credit for the growers' good fortune should go, of course, to nature and the grower himself. But some credit is due the marketing people, food specialists and others for helping create new uses and fostering greater demand for that little red berry.
