PROSPECTS OF CRANBERRY CROP.

1t is reported that at least % per cent.
of the prospective cranberry crop of
this year at Berlin, Wis, was destroyed
by the frost of the morning of July Sth.
In Wood county the damage done
would vary as to locality, from total
destruction of the blossoms on the dri-
est marshes, to no damage on the wet
est. The damage on the whole would
amount to about 15 per cent. of the
crop. But the most serious part is the
damage done to the crop of next year.
In many places where the blossom was
not injured by the frost, and in all cases
where it was injured, the terminal bud
of the upright which lies above the fruit
was killed. 1t is this that natures the
fruit bud for next years crop, and it is
now too far along in the season for the
plant to produce in its stead lateral
upright that will mature a fruit bud.
The season is on the whole little late,
and unless we have fair amount OF
moist warm weather during the next
four weeks, the crop will be more
liable than usual to be caught by the
early fall frosts. For Notwithstanding
the large amounts of money that has
been expended in bitches and dams,
less than one-tenth of the crop is in a
position to be protected from frosts.
