Mcfarland cranberry is the best vari-
ETY. for the Pacific coast. 1t is the larg-
est and most prolific, a splendid keep
er, and by all odds the best seller. In
the East this sort is considered poor
keeper, but it appears to be better
adapted to this climate, and grow to
perfection here.
81 have had good success with the
Cherry and Bell variety. They yield
we'll and sell we'll, and are of good
color. Their flavor is excelled by none,
and they are Of good size, though not
as large as the Mcfarland berry.
"The picking season is usually one
of pleasure, for several reasons, to both
picker and pro1ietor. The weather is
generally fine-September and October
when men, women and children come
for an outing in the cranberry fields.
They come with camping outfit, pro-
pared to enjoy the pleasures Of outdoor
life, the health giving ocean breezes
and rest from the city and home toll.
"In picking, lines are stretched
across plat Of ground three feet apart
and each picker works between the
lines, the vines making a carpet upon
which to work. They hang on up
rights about six inches high and are
truly beautiful to look upon. The ber-
ries are bright red color, and, in
many cases three and four deep, touch
ing each other, completely hide the
vines and ground beneath.
"The pickers are given six-quart
measure, and are required to pick the
berries clean as they go. When the
measure is full it is emptied into a
bushel box, and when the box is full
they are given check which is good
for 70 cents. Yard men are in at
tendance TO oversee the pickers and
carry away the boxes. My best pickers
picked about three bushels per day.
With a scoop a picker can gather 20
bushels day.
SIN the East the vines are often in
tested with insect pests, and If the
growers have not control of the water
the whole crop is in danger. 1 under
stand the pests have been imported
here at different times in shipping in
plants, but they soon disappear, as they
cannot live in this climate.
"There is money in the cranberry
business and the many bogs of Tilla-
nook county are waiting for men Of
means and energy to develop them"

CRANBERRIEs IN OREGON.
New Venture Proving a Success in
Tillamook County.

"Cranberries raised in Oregon" is
the new slogan for the commercial
bodies to cry out to the world at large
now that the fields of Tillamook county
are producing large quantities Of the
berries that round out the Tbanksgiv-
ing dinner. B. o. Snuffer, of Tilla-
nook, recently exhibited box of ber-
ries in Portland which were picked
from the marsh in Tillamook county.
Mr.. Snuffer, in telling about the new
industry, said:
"The vines from which these berries
were picked have not been touched for
eight years except to pick the berries.
Because the berries require 80 little
care and attention, the profits are very
large. Not an acre from the patch
these berries came from has ever pro-
duced less than 825 bushels and with
care would yield 800 bushels. The
berries sell for SO a bushel. w. G.
King picked 1000 bushels an acre from
q tract he owned.
81 commenced the culture of cram
berries in the spring Of 1898, and find
that the vines are we'll adapted to this
climate. They grow vigorously and
where the bogs are properly prepared
they are enormously productive. While
picking my crop one year measured
off some ground and picked them care
fully, and found that they produced at
the rate of 1000 bushels to the acre.
Allowing 81 per bushel as net profit, /
do not know of an agricultural product
that will compare with it, and placing
figures at minimum.
"It costs about 5000 to prepare the
ground and plant the vines, including
the cost Of the plants. The bog must
be 80 situated that it can be drained off
by means OF bitches to the depth OF at
least 15 inches, and one must also have
control Of plenty of water for irrigation
and flooding purposes. Although /
have seen some marshes that were a
success without any water supply, do
not consider it safe, in view Of the large
outlay.
IA bog once set In the proper shape
will last indefinitely. The first cost,
although quite large, cuts little figure
in the long run.
"I find that the cranberries grown
here are Of darker color than those
grown in the East; those here are much
superior in flavor, and also weigh more
to the bushel. The size of the berry ie
about the same.
According to my experience, the

In New York harbor a lieutenant o.

"Still, that wind was nothing to on,
