THE CRANBERRY CROP OF 1914.

We have it from the secretary of
the Wisconsin Cranberry Sales com
pany that the crop of the cranberries
Of the past season was anunusually
large one-the largest one during.the
past ten years. 1t required special
efforts. to get the same in to consum-
ption, because OF the low price of
nearly all other fruits, and the gem
eraI distribution OF the market on
account of the European war. But
at the presnet time, nearly ninety
per cent of the entire crop has gone
into consumption. The season OF
marketing cranberries continues until
May first and sometimes later. Our
sales agents say that the 10 per cent
now on hand viii be substantially dis
posed of at the end. of the marketing
season. The Wisconsin crop on the
whole has been marketed at a pro
fit to the grower. The berries that
have been pooled and sold through
the Sales Company viii average
S4.2F per barrel. No part OF the Wis
consin crop has yet been dumped
and we are in hopes that it will al
be sold.
