By end of May there were no undue threats of heavy insect infestations or damage. NEW JERSEY May Usually Cold May was unusually cold in the cranberry growing area of New Jersey. The average temperature was °F., which is ° cooler than normal. In the early part of May there were three frosty nights on cranberry bogs, with readin<;-s below 30° being reported from many bogs. As of the first of June, however, it appears that cranberry growers suffered negligible dam- age. On the benefit side of this cold snell is that the frost re^ows have caused a general reduction of blossom worms, fireworms, and to a lesser degree, tipworms. Blueberry Frost Damage Blueberry growers were not so fortunate, as early varieites in some fields were considerably dam- aged by frost. The Hammonton blueberry area has not gotten as much rain as the Burlington Coun- ty area, but the loss is felt more in the strawberry fields than in the blueberries. Rainfall About Normal Rainfall during May was inches, about .82 inches above nor- mal. Bogs Look Good Bogs gf'nerally looked good on June 1. New plantings were de- layed in May because of mujh rainy weather. On bogs where new growth on June 1 was an inch long, the following insects were ac- tive: blunt-nosed leaf hopper, tip- worm, sparganothis fruit worm, blossom weevil and fireworm
