Establishment Of u Cranberry Bog-Cran-
berries Money Crop.
The establishment Of a cranberry beg
requires time, expense and patience,
but once in good form there is little
outlay in keeping it in condition. A
moist soil is necessary. Experience has
proved a peat or muck soil, tree from
loan or clay, is required clean sand for
covering the peat and arrangements
whereby the vines can be flowed when
necessary and finally thorough drainage.
In the colder part OF the country the
vines are flooded III winter to protect
them from frost, the usual time beng

sufficient, according to The Orange Judd
Farmer, authority for the following:
In preparing swamp lands bushes and
stumps must be removed and the surface
coated with to s inches of sand. When
properly drained and ditchcd the land
is ready for the vines. The sand IS es-
sential in order to choke the growth OF
weeds and grass. Clay and lOamy sand
should be avoided On soils thus pre-
pared the best method of planting vines
is to place them i'll rows marked out IL
inches apart, two vines at each point,
ii inches apart in the rows. The plants
are pressed into the ground with the
roots close to the muck below. Another
method sometimes employed III jersey
IS to spread the vines evenly over the
surface of the meadow, cover about an
inch deep with sand the young shoots
later coming up as thick as wheat and
making an excellent growth. Some sue
coed by sowing cuttings, the vines be-
ing passed through a straw cutter and
chopped into pieces about an inch long.
These are sown early iii spring and on
prepared ground and narrowed III. Much
attention must be given to drainage,
and this goes far to make or mar the
work.

And my will is set to hold you yet close

Over the hill where the wind blows chill,

the mist and the darkness hide you,
