PUBLICITY SOLD CRANBERRY
Growers CROP THIS SEASON
Housewives Were Not Buying Because of Lack of
Sugar-Were Told How to Prepare
Dishes Without Sweets

National advertising sold the crop
for the Wisconsin Cranberry Growers
Association according to officers of
the organization from Wood County
who attended the annual convention
held in the Capitol building in Madison
last week, in connection with the meet
ing of the state horticultural society.
With larger crop of berries this
year than last and with smaller de-
mand due to the lack of sugar the
growers, not only of this state, but of
other sections where cranberries are
raised, found their crop moving slow
ly. The housewife simply would not
make cranberry sauce, when she was
having difficulty in getting sufficient
sugar to sweeten the family coffee
To make cranberry pie, jell and other
delicacies, the housewife believed she
must have sugar and use it in large
quantities. Therefore the cranberry
growers faced the prospect of having
their crop spoil in the warehouses ow-
ing to lack of demand.
Plunge in Publicity.
In past years national advertising
had been used by the three big ex-
changes in the country to some extent.
This year the three associations who
form the American Cranberry Ex-
change plunged on publicity and
$120,00O was spent in periodicals, ma
gazines, and newspaper that enjoy a
national circulation. The Saturday
Evening Post and the Literary Di-
gest We're two mediums that were used
with notable success. Local growers
paid about $4,000 of this expense.
Educated Housewives.
These advertisements together with
brOadsides and circulars, taught the
housewife how to prepare sauce, pies,
and other good things from the ber-
ries with the use of little or no sugar.
The result was the crop was moved
and the Wisconsin Growers have fin
ished up their seasons labor, though
some of the independent growers
still have many barrels on hand.
Industry Growing.
More than 200 were present at the
Madison meeting, many of them being
new men in the business. Not few
farmers are opening marshes near Su-
perior, and around Beaver Brook in
the northern portion of the state, and
the industry is growing in the sec
tion tributary to Grand Rapids.
According to statements of promi-
nent growers, white labor is slowly
replacing Indian labor in the annual
harvest, but the Indian labor is far
more reliable, the vines are picked
much cleaner.
A banquet which was held at the
Capitol Hotel, Friday evening, wound
up the convention and officers for the
ensuing year were elected as follows:
Pres.-Andrew Searls, Grand Rapids
Vice Pres.-Fred Barber, Warrens
Sec.-Mrs. S. N. Whittlesey, Gran
moor.
Assistant-Miss Anna Bamberg,
Grand Rapids.
Treas.-Herman Gebhardt, Black
River Falls.
About 10000 barrels of berries were
shipped this season, locally against
10000 in 1918, but the growers real
lied far less profit as the price aver
aged great deal less, and the cost of
labor and barrels fifty per cent high
er.

Advertisements are not read, you
say. Let US make aylittle mistake IN
quoting prices and see. A few weeks
ago newspaper in a nelghborlng
town, in the advertisement of the
local butcher, quoted bacon at fifteen
cents a pound in error, and the poor
butchers talked themselves hoarse ex-
planning the mistake. Your adver-
