. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. Drought severe in N. J. By PHILIP E. MARUCCI Cranbeny & Blueberry Specialist Chatsworth, It was a hot, dry summer in the cranberry region of New Jersey. The average summer temper- ature (June, July and August) of degrees F, and only degrees F above normal, is mis- leading. It took blistering heat in July and August to overbalance the abnormally cool June, which averaged only degrees F, or degrees below normal. JULY, averaging 76 degrees F, degrees above normal, and the slightly hotter August average of degrees F, above normal, combined to give the warmest July-August combination since 1955 and the fourth warmest on record at Pemberton. There were no 90 degree days in June but the 14 days in this category in July and the 18 in August gave a summer total of 32, which is 9 above average and second to the record of 42, which occurred in 1944. The consecutive string of 11 days of 90 degree weather from Aug. 1 to 11 was the most on record for any August but was short of the record of 13 days straight in June 1957 and June 1943. The maximum temperatures for the summer occurred on July 20 and 21 when the thermometer read 99 and 100 degrees F. It must be noted that these were weather shelter readings. In the open sunlight on the cranberry bogs, the temperature frequently soared to well above 100 degrees. ON THE SUBJECT of rainfaU, there has been much concern expressed over the critical water shortage developing throughout the Northeast. The precipi- tation record at Pemberton does indicate an acute deficiency, but there have been more severe droughts at this station. It was the driest summer since **»â¢â¢'â â¢<«<â liniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiumiiniiiiiiiu iiiiiiiiiuuiiiiiiuiuiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiitiMiiiMiiiiiiiiii.
