But-the berries must be gathered else
the Grays would have no cranberry sauce.
The harvesting Of the cranberries-cause
today for countless childhood woes-harks
back over a full century. But prior to
1926. when the berries were first cult
waited in the then wild Cape Cod region
Of Massachusetts,. cranberry picking time
was a season Of pleasure. Puritan chill
dren hunted them then in their native
boys and tangles. much the same as boys
and girls Of today go out to thrash trees
for chestnuts.
Then came the early era of cranberry
cultivation This. in its inception, meant
merely making accessible the localities in
which the berries naturally grew wild,
and when this had been accomplished, en-
tire communities, laden with great bas-
kets. went forth from the settlements to
garner the Thanksgiving berries, for the
sauce was even then an appreciated deli
cacy.
But there was nothing Of child-tragedy
in the cranberry pickings of a century
ago. Then the spirit of the picnic. the
fun time, the enjoyment season marked
the harvest of the berries. Parents took
their children with them then as they do
now. but the days in the boys were days
of autumn outing for the youngsters.
That is the beginning of. what has
grown into serious cultivation and an
industrial growing of the fruit. And, as
in all branches of commerce, when the
work of children Is allied with the pro-
duction of hard silver dollars the abuses
which have led the child labor crusad-
ers to look into the work of little boys
and girls in the boys began to make
themselves manifest.

must be pushed. The few laborers who
are employed In the Dogs the year
round are totally inadequate for the
harvest, for thousands are needed in
every bog to clear the vines Of their fruit.
Cranberry picking involves no abstruse
mental process on the part Of the harvest
er. No skill nor previous experience Is
needed. Indeed. 1t is simple enough to

closely allied.
Primarily, the cranberry industry is a
peculiar one. Methods Of cultivation and
soil preparation are so radically different
from those used in the production Of any
other crop that conditions equally for
eign to the average farm industry have
come into existence.
Boys in which cranberries are grown
must be flooded in winter This Is to
keep the bite of frost from the plants
With the approach Of spring and the
growing season, the marshes must be
drained and so left usually until the
following winter.
BY late September the berries have
ripened, and they demand immediate
harvesting to save them from the ever
present danger Of the frost. But even
though several months have elapsed
since the boys were drained their natu-
rally mucky character remains, and those
who garner the berries lust do their
work on wet. soggy. muddy ground
Then, too, the plants grow but few
inches high. and the berries hang sin

have to bend low and fill their buckets
