Outlook rair for Orauberrss,.

| Cranberry growers are beginning to size
up the crop and in this section the general
consensus of opinion is that the crop will
be but fair. Some berries are beginning
to color up and some of them are almost
full grown, while others are only Just set
ting. Stafford Forge bog at West Greek Is
reported to have big crop. The big
Berkeley township bog was never in bet
ter shape than this year. Around Whit
lngs some growers say they will have a
short crop. OF course all expectation of
good yields are based on the continuance
of favorable conditions and the absence of
scald, frost and other cranberry destroy
ers
Many growers around Toms River, New
Egypt, Golfers Mills, New Lisbon and
other places are complaining that their
Dogs were flooded during the recent
storms and the berries much injured, rot
ting badly.
The Freehold Transcript says Reports
recently from the cranberry boys in the
vicinity of Farmingdale indicate that the
yield of berries will be considerably great
er than it was last year. Some of the
growers lost money last year by holding
the berries for an advance in price. The
prospective crop on the Enterprise bog
was destroyed recently by flowing the bog
imme diately after the vines were in bloom.
Henry Brick of Marlton, reports that he
has prospect for very large crop of
cranberrIes. There are plenty of berries
set which are doing well, but if the excess
i've wet weather continues he fears that
many of the berries will be destroyed by
scald. Mr.. Brick has about sixty acres in
cranberries and his boys are among the
best to be found.
