an Average Crop
BERLIN, Wis. Aug. aS.-The last few
days have been full of anxiety to cram
berry-growers in this section. The
frost predicted by the signal service
came Thursday night and rumors are
current that many of the producing
marshes near here have suffered in con-
sequence The season here has been un-
favora BILE for the development of the ber-
ry, there having been too much water
during the spring months and too much
hot weather during July and August,
Under favorable conditions the vines
would have yielded so 900 barrels, but
various estimates place the orop-which
will be taken of in about ten days
from 5000 to 5000 barrels. The pros
peotive yield in the cranberry district
north of this belt is estimated at 40. 900
barrels and will not fall short of that
unless an early frost cuts it down. -.
