INSTALLS new
BERRY MILL

Bert Mason, who owns and operates
a wood working factory in this city,
has recently installed new cranberry
mill and grader for the Cranberry
Lake Development Company at Phil
lips. The machine is Mr.. Mason
own invention and was built in his fac
tory here. It has a capacity of 26O
barrels, one carload, of cranberries a
day. It sorts the bad berries from
the good ones, takes out dirt and
leaves, and grades the berries accord
ing to size, by means of a rotating
cylindrical screens.
Mr.. Mason has previous to this in
stalled a number of these machines
in various parts of the country where
cranberries are grown on CONNER
cial scale Three of them have been
set up in the state of Washington for
Pacific Coast growers. There are
three at Tomah, three at Mather, two
at Arpin, the Bennets are using two
| of them, and there is one at Gran
moor. The fact that this machine,
which is the most successful machine
for the purpose in the industry, is
| the invention of a Wisconsin Rapids
| man and is made entirely here in the
| city, may not be generally known and
| adds one more claim to the list of
| those which this city has to recogni-
ton as an important commercial fac
| tor.
| In an interview with Mr.. Mason, we
| were informed that the new cranberry
development at Phillips is showing
| some remarkable results this year
From one tract of seven and one-half
acres of Jumbo vines, which were
transplanted from the marshes at
Walker Station, they had harvested
| 1900 barrels of berries. The 80 acres
of vines which were harvested this
| season produced close to 10000 bar
| rels. This is the result Of careful Sc
/ lection and intensive cultivation, US
ing TIE most approved methods and
the best machinery and implements
| available in the industry. 1t shows
| what may be accomplished by pro-
| gressive cooperation, and what may
reasonably be expected in the future
/ of the cranberry business.
i Mr.. Mason is making a trip to Phil.
4 lips in the near future to complete
the installation and oversee the op
Grafton of the new machine, as wei
as to get some Photographic views Of
the mill in action.
