Acreage Survey In Oregon The cranberry-producing areas of Coos and northern tip of Curry counties in Southern Oregon have been surveyed, vs'ith the resultant finding that production might be expected to increase sevenfold within the next few years. This move was sponsored by the Southwest Oregon Cran- berry Club to get a census that would be accurate. One reason for this was to pre- sent figures to the Oregon State Extension Service in Horticulture, so that help might be obtained upon cranberry problems. It has been suggested that

This move was sponsored by the Southwest Oregon Cran- berry Club to get a census that would be accurate. One reason for this was to pre- sent figures to the Oregon State Extension Service in Horticulture, so that help might be obtained upon cranberry problems. It has been suggested that Oregon Extension Service have an experimental plot some- where in Coos County. Leadership in this survey was assumed by Jack Hansell, who is assistant to Coun- ty Agent George Jenkins. The survey showed: Present producing acres, 174. Land being prepared or reserved for bog development totals 1313. The survey, it is reported, does not necessarily include all land available and suitable for growing cranberries. There are 96 acres planted, but not yet producing, and 166 acres to be planted this coming year. Of the 174 acres producing, 166 are in Coos County. The McFarlin berry is the most favored, accounting for 112 acres. Other varieties include Stankavich, 31%; Howes, 14'/2; Searles, 13; Centennial, I'/j; Bennett, 1%. McFarlins originated in Massachusetts, as did the Howes and Cen- tennials, Searles and Bennetts in Wisconin, and the Stankavich is of Oregon origin. Of the growers that are to plant this coming year Mr. Hansell found that Mc- Farlins will be set out on 158 of the 166 acres to be planted, Stankavich 7, and Searles 1. Continuing his survey Mr. Hansell is collecting information as to the number of barrels sold in Coos and Northern Cur- ry counties to find an exact overall aver- age yield being Dr. Franklin Speaks Dr. Henry J.
