SEPTEMBER 1947 The official forecast of the size of the crop has been made, pick- ing was beginning as September started, and the selling price, as al- ways, became a principal topic. NCA announced a cut in the whole- sale price of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce, and other processors were reported to be making cuts also. A new cranberry specialist has been named to assist Massachusetts growers in the solution of their problems as part of the Extension Service. J. Richard Beat tie, who has become widely and favorably known among the growers as Ply- mouth County Agent, specializing in cranberries, has been named to the position by R. A. VanMeter, acting president of University of Massachusetts. His appointment is effective as of October 1, and Mr. Beattie, Mrs. Beattie and two chil- dren plan to make their home in the general vicinity of the Exper- iment Station at East Wareham. More than 300 attended the summer meeting of the American Cranberry Growers' Association August 28th at the bogs of William H. Reeves, Route 40, between Upton and Four-Mile State Colony traffic circle, New Jersey. This meeting was an innovation in that it was an exhibition of cranberry equipment. Members of the Wisconsin Cran- berry Growers' association heard visiting speakers discuss problems affecting their industry at the reg- ular summer meeting of the associa- tion in the Hotel Witter on Aug. 9. It was with shocked regret that the Massachusetts cranberry indus- try learned of the death of Con- gressman Charles L. Gifford. Mr Gifford had been a cranberry grower, regular attendant at cran- berry meetings; many, many tirfies 12 a speaker at meetings of Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association meetings, and a good friend of the industry. The Field Day which was held in August at the Cranberry-Blue- berry Laboratory in Long Beach, Washington attracted more than 150 enthusiastic growers and their friends to the Experiment Station. D.
