. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. ings was an explanation of the Miller Bill which pertained to the amount of poisonous residue which was acceptable by the Government to be left on any fruit or vegetable product when it reaches market. This was purely an attempt under the Food and Drugs act to make certain no one is poisoned fronr harmful residues. This bill was referred to by Dr. Cross, Prof. William E. Tomlinson and Bert Zuckerman all of the Station staff. Provisions of this act are being rigidly enforced, it was pointed out and tolerances are often ex- tremely limited such as 7 parts in a million of residue for DDT or 10 parts for Dieldrin and aldrin. It was explained that all Massa- chusetts control charts had been made with the Miller Bill in mind, and if the recommended timing of amplications by growers is strict- ly observed there should be no trouble from harnvful residues. Dr. Cross pointed out that already, he understood some shipments of vegetables from the West Coast into New York had been condemn- ed and that, under the bill it was possible for a grower's entire pro- duce to be ordered not harvested and shipped if residues of more than the allowable tolerance were found in a shipment.
