BIG CRANBERRY CROP.

VIII Be as Large or Larger than
Previous Years.
From the cranberry marshes comes the
encouraging report that the crop this
year will be as large, if not larger, than
that of any previous year, unless some
unforeseen setback should take place. The
vines all seem unusually healthy, having
survived all the early pests to the cram
berry crop, the only danger now being an
early frost. Provision against danger
from frost is made by large reservoirs,
from which the marshes can be flooded
during the night and drained off the next
morning, but the growers resort to this
protection as a last resort, since there is
danger of ''scalding" the vines should the
overflow water be too warm.
