Cranberries Not Ruined

MOUNT HOLLY, June 19.-Cran-
berry growers here today emphatic
ally denied that frosts about two
weeks ago ruined he crops on many
of the biggest boys in Burlington
County, and in contradiction of such
reports, declared that tho outlook for
a good crop is encouraging.
Stories about ruination of the crop
have been so greatly .overdrawn that
they seem deliberate misstatements,
several growers declared, and if new
difficulties are not encountered dur
ing the growing and picking season,
Burlington County will produce a
crop above the average. County
Clark Knight, one of the best in
formed cranberry growers in this
locality, said today:
THE reports about the damage done
to cranberries by the June frosts are
as untrue as they are misleading.
The outlook for a good crop, better
than is usually expected, is most en-
couraging. The frosts on the fourth
and fifth of the month were quite
general over the county and fairly
accurate guess might be that 20 per
cent. of the blossoms were nipped.
This nipping, however, only applies
to some parts of the cranberry dis
trict, as not all boys were affected.
This left unframed enough for big
crop, and under present conditions
there is no foundation for statements
to the contrary, when considering a
general survery of conditions.
Clifford e. Budd, one of the big
growers in the Pemberton district,
says he regards the prospect for a
good crop most excellent, even though
some of the boys around there were
slightly hit by the frost.
