. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. PETITION TO RETAIN BERGMAN WINTERS IN MASS. IS COMPLETED JERSEY PROPERTIES CHANGE HANDS The petition to USDA to have Dr. H. F. Bergman stationed in Massachusetts, which was circu- lated by George E. Short, presi- dent of Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association, has been completed with signatures and forwarded to Washington. Signa- tures on the paper represent much of the acreage in Massachusetts. Dr. and Mrs. Bergman have al- ready closed their camp at East Wareham and gone to Washington, but their return is being petitioned. The need of his further work upon studies in flooding water and oxy- gen deficiency troubles caused by flooding is being stressed, as it is felt this is a vital need of the Massachusetts growers. Dr. Berg- man was formerly stationed at Mass. State College, Amherst, winters, from which point he was able to continue his tests during the winter months. Bogs owned by the E. H. Dur- rell estate around Belleplaine in New Jersey have been purchased by Morris April and son, Leon, of Bridgeton, New Jersey. Mr. Mor- ris, Sr., is a produce dealer, and his son, Leon, will have direct charge of the bogs. The Rev. E. H. Durrell was one of the real pioneers and a leader in Jersey growing, having started in 1866- 67. He was president of the American Cranberry Growers As- sociation from 1901 until 1925. Acreage purchased was about 225, although this did not include all the Durrell holdings. The young Mr. April plans to improve these old properties and is one more younger man added to the ranks of the Jersey growers. The bogs of the late J. C. Shaner at Rigley, about 30 acres, have been purchased from Mr. Shaner's widow by Maurice Aaron of Mays Landing. GROSSMAN'S A half century of service Materials Now Available WITHOUT PRIORITY Tel.
