. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. Mass. Cranberry Station and Field Notes by J. RICHARD BEATTIE Extension Cranberry Specialist. Water supplies are still critically low, and, as a result, many bogs have not been flooded as of Jan- uary 5. Unofficial estimates indi- cate that approximately one-third of the acreage that is usually flooded by this date lack adequate winter protection. Dr. H. J. Franklin's data indicate that a normal yearly precipitation for the cranberry area is approximate- ly 44.31 inches. Rainfall for the calendar year 1949 was 36.21 inches, which is 8.10 inches below normal. January Running Above at Start We certainly have been experi- encing a mild winter. Temper- atures have been averaging ap- proximately 5 to 6° above normal. The first five days of January were running- nearly 15° per day above normal. As a result of these high temperatures, growers have been concerned about their bogs that have not been flooded, . Many have inquired whether these temper- atures might "start" buds or re- sult in severe winterkilling if fol- lowed by a severe cold spell. Dr. Franklin believes that growers need not be too concerned for the present at least over these high temperatures. The major problem is securing enough water to flood our bogs before we encounter low temperatures accompanied by high winds. It is this combination of factors that results in severe winterkilling. Marketing Conference The cranberry report printed, in CRANBERRIES last month and which was prepared at the recent Farm Production and Marketing Outlook Conference was presented to the Massachusetts Agricultural Program Board the latter part of December by E. L. Bartholomew, Wareham, and the writer. This Board is made up of the directors or chairmen of the various agri- cultural agencies in the state. At this meeting, each of the agricul- tural commodity reports were care- fully considered, and where specific recommendations were outlined the Board des
