Ithat wias wlhen I de- cided to become a cranberry grower. I like cranberries anyway and drink the juice every morning and eat them for many ; Francis was bom in Plymouth March 2, 1918. He attended Plymouth Schools and was graduated from Ply- mouth High School in 1936. He has been interested in cranber- ries all his life. But for five years he worked for the Plymouth County Electric Company. However, he con- tinued his work on the bogs for his father during that time and never lost touch with the industry. In US Navy He was in the U. S. Navy for four years. He entered service as la reg- ular seaman but got into gunfire con- trol operations, which is really the aiming of guns. He came out of service as a first-class gunfire con- trol man. Prior to the war wMle with the Plymouth County he built part of the Smelt Pond bog. At that time he was in partnership with his brother-in- Pight law Robert Jones of Plymoutih wihom he bought out in 1949. Francis does all his own frost work and is a busy man on a frost night althouigih he doesn't consider his bogs in particularly frosty spots. He has to take care of five pumps in all, one electric and 4 gas. He has to tend to five flumes. Insect Control Theory He has a particular theory on spray- ing his bogs for insect control.

He be- lieves in early sipraying, with para- tlhion iwith which he has had good luck. He sprays 'at least three and some times four times, two to 15 days apart. The insects will come in, he knows and thinks that this regul'ar spray program keeps then at a mini- mum of infestation. His spray work is done by straight- wing plane from Aerial Sprayers, I
