ATV:
A Grower's Workhorse
By DAN BROCKMAN
If you've ever taken the time to check the odometer on your pickup before and after a day's work on the marsh, you were probably surprised at the number of miles you put on in a day.
Trips back and forth to the shop for tools and supplies can add up quickly — even on a small marsh. Our main marsh sits just across from the shop, yet I easily put on between 10 and 20 miles in a day of running around doing various jobs and checking things out.
On top of the wear and tear on the vehicle, you have to consider how much each of the miles you put on is costing you. There are less expensive forms of trans- portation which will handle many marsh duties more efficiently than will a pickup.
About ITyearsago.three-wheeled all terrain vehicles (ATV's) first came on the market in the form of the little Honda 90cc machines. The growth in the market was slow until about five years ago
COVER PHOTOS GROWER Dan Brockman of Vesper, Wise, has found his all terrain vehicle a dream machine. His story about how he uses the vehicle around his marsh starts on this page. The two photos also are by Brockman.
when everything took off. About the time the four wheeled machines came on the scene, the market exploded. Over 1,000,000 ATV's have been purchased over the last four or five years.
WHILE ATV's can't handle all work on the marsh, there are many jobs for which they are tailor-made.
Since you ride out in the open, they aren't well suited for incle- ment weather. However, I have ridden ours in some pretty nasty weather because it was the best way to get a job done.
For doing minor repair work, checking water or dajrtime irri- gation, I don't think there is a better machine than a four-wheeled
ATV. With the speed and agility, excellent view while aboard and the ease with which you can mount and dismount, you can usually save a lot of time by using an ATV rather than a pickup.
Not only can you do a job more quickly on an ATV, but it also costs you less to do it. The pur- chase price on new ATV's ranges from about $2,000 to $4,500, much less than even the lowest priced pickup.
Also, with their little engines (about 225 cc's being an aver- age), they bum very little fuel. Aside from fuel, if you change oil when needed and perform other basic maintenance, you can put

thousands of miles on an ATV with no major expenses.
Low purchase price, low main- tenance, low fuel cost and more efficient use of time all add up to savings for the marsh owner.
AS MORE and more people use ATV's for work, the compan- ies are responding with useful attachments. It is now possible to get such features as electric starters, four wheel drive, full suspension , hydraulic disc brakes , automatic transmissions, carry- ing racks, even power takeoff equipped machines. On top of this, you can get such items as snowplows, lawn mowers and sprayers, which attach to the machine to make it do a day's work.
Given the do-it-yourself attitude
of most growers, you'll see an increasing variety of equipment designed for ATV's as more and more of them appear on marshes. We built a lightweight vine rake, which we use after harvest to train the vines, as well as remove any broken weeds or vines.
The rack covers about a 10 foot wide strip and one man can rake 75 acres in just a couple of days. The low pressure tires and low mass weight of the machine make it possible to drive right into the beds anytime when the vines are dormant, and, possibly, even in late spring, after they are out of dormancy.
I've driven or owned machines made by just about all of the manufacturers, as well as a var-

just too small a machine to really do anything with. We then moved to a 250cc Yamaha Moto-4, which is a shaft drive, electric start machine with no suspension. It is a workhorse, but I don't think it is the best machine for the marsh; it's just been such a solid machine that I can't justify replacing it.
My vote for best, all-around ATV for the grower goes to a Polaris Trailboss 4X4. This is a two-cycle, four wheel drive, full suspension, electric start machine, which is driven by a system referred to as Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT). This is basically a snowmobile drive consisting of a drive and driven clutch setup.
Before I got my hands on a Polaris, I really had my doubts that this "automatic transmis- sion" would work. It didn't take me long to realize that it not only works, but, in my opinion, is the
best.
A few other nice features on the Trailboss are front and rear racks, hydraulic disc brakes, large capacity fuel and oil tanks, part- time four wheel drive (it shifts into 4X4 when a sensor deter- mines that the back wheels are turning faster than the front wheels), and full footrests.
The part-time, four wheel drive makes the Trailboss handle like a two wheel drive for most rid- ing, but the vehicle has outstand- ing pulling power available when needed.
Let me assure you that you have to really work at it to get one sunk— like driving into a peat bog with no top cover.
About the only problem you may run into when buying an ATV for the marsh, is that you'll enjoy the vehicle so much, and find so many uses for it, that you'll want another one for your personal use.

Dr. Lasota was invited to present a seminar on cranberry pest management at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacks- burg, Va.
Dr. Karl Deubert attended a symposium on agricultural chemicals and groundwater protection in St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 21-24.
Dr. Deubert attended a conference on environmental concerns in rights-of-way management held at Purdue University in Indianapolis Oct. 25-28.
Dr. Robert Devlin attended a meeting of the Northeastern Weed Scientists in Syra- cuse, N.Y., Oct. 26-28.

The harvest was nearly complete by the end of October, with just a few stragglers.
It appears that the Massachusetts crop will be down sharply from the August estimate, probably about 20 percent. No official figure at this writing, but the Mas- sachusetts crop will probably come In between 1.4 and 1.45 million barrels.
Early Black size was small on most bogs for the first three weeks, but then improved somewhat. Color was good, quality very good to excellent. Howes was good size but crops were spotty.

October was cool, averaging 2.7 degrees a day below normal. Maximum tempera- ture was 72 degrees on the 3rd and min- imum 29 degrees on the 27th. The only warmer than average days were the 3rd and 7th. Cooler than average days were the 9th, 11th-14th, 22nd-23rd, 26th, 29th-30th.
Rainfall totaled 1.52 inches, or nearly 2 inches below normal. This was the driest October since 1950 and fourth driest in our records. There were 10 days with measurable precipitation, with .45 inch on the 28th as the g reatest storm . We are less than an inch above normal for the year and about even with 1986.
There were a total of 17 frost warnings issued on 1 2 days during the frost season. The nights of Sept. 25 and Oct. 14 were generally much colder than the berry tol- erance. For comparison, we issued 18 warnings in 1986, 1 5 in 1985 and 0 in 1984.

'Xmbmm? Whi Ate Cmbenm? "
By DR. HAROLD GLUCK
My father was born before the Civil War. He was a Httle too young to fight in that conflict, but he managed to make the Spanish- American War. My mother was a product of the Victorian Age. As for my governess, she was completely English, both in her way of thinking and of handling me.
I was born at the turn of the century into a world that is remembered today by most people only through books, plays and an
10
occasional TV production. The streetcar in our neighborhood was a little car drawn by two horses — or was it one?
What has all this got to do with cranberries? Just this. They were an unknown when I was a tad.
My family ran hotels. I remember that fresh fruit was absent from the menu. For dessert, in addition to cakes and pies, there always were nuts and raisins.
And then, somewhere in the passage of time, we all heard a new Battle Hym of the Republic: "You must have Vitamin C. And oranges will supply it."
So we bought oranges. We also bought a glass, hand operated orange juice squeezer so that we could have fresh orange juice at breakfast time.
It wasn't merely a question of whether you liked orange juice in the morning. You had to have it. Every member of the family.
I remember that when one of my classmates became ill, we all chipped in pennies and bought him a huge orange. I also remember seeing "farewell baskets" of oranges and other fruits in store windows. When a couple was about to go off on a long boat trip, that was the customary gift to give them.
Later, when I became a writer, I was assigned to do a story on Vitamin C. I learned all about scurvy, bleeding gums and all the other ills associated with a lack of Vitamin C.
And Vitamin C still was equated in my mind with oranges. In some measure, that was a tribute to the advertising boys who whooped it up loudly for the sunny clime fruit.
I had my first introduction to cranberries when the family was invited to dinner in the country one Thanksgiving.
The bright, red fruit, prepared as a sauce, certainly looked different. It also tasted different. Despite a few puckered expressions,
brought on by the bitter flavor, both adults and children made quick work of the new dish.
The gathering also was told by our host that venison rather than turkey might have been the meat served at the first Thanks- giving but that cranberries might very well have been part of the menu.
My mother was taken with the fruit. But when we returned to the city, she dould find no place that sold cranberries.
"If you tell me just what they are, said one obliging vegetable man, "I'll see if my whole- saler can get some for you."
Alas, future visits to the store were to no avail.
So my youth was devoid of the cranberry.
But today! Market shelves are stocked high with firesh cranberries, cranberry sauce, cranberry juice, cranberry juice mixed with apple juice, grape juice, and what have you. There're cranberry cakes, cranberry pies. Muffins are mixed with cranberries, waffles and pancakes are mixed with cranberries . . . newspaper recipes are replete with uses for the cranberry in a variety of dishes.
Yes, the world has changed. The cranberry is everywhere and . . . aside from the merits of the food . . . part of the reason, as with the popularity of the orange in my youth , can be chalked up to smart marketing.
Both fruits are similar in another way, too. Both serve well the body's dire need for Vitamin C.

CRANBERRY QUICHE AND BUBBLY DRINKS FOR A SCINTILLATING NEW YEAR'S PARTY
Celebrating the start of the New Year is a truly pleasurable occasion when the festivities take place at home. Nothing could be nicer than to be surrounded by one's family and friends in an
atmosphere conducive to remi- niscing about the old and look- ing forward with great expecta- tions to happy new days to come.
After the hustle and bustle of the Yuletide season, a hostess will certainly want to consider how she might prepare something which will be at once tasteful and elegant, but easy to prepare ahead of time. Another thought is whether she'd like to extend her hospitality on New Year's Eve, or perhaps on New Year's Day.
Whether the choice be for a midnight supper or for a midday brunch on January 1st, Cran- berry Quiche is a party-perfect answer. It can be made a day ahead of time and then baked fresh — or reheated. It combines cream cheese, chopped pecans, cranberry-orange relish, and
bacon into a crusty, creamy, delectable delight. To complement the quiche. Cranberry Honey Sauce adds its own delicate flavor. No New Year celebration would be complete without the bubbly drinks to toast the occasion. Here are two that you'll want to try. If you decide to serve both, serve one in a tall pitcher and the other in a punch bowl. Cranberry Pink Champagne is a combination of cranberry-apple drink, brandy, champagne and orange liqueur. The other. Sparkling Berry Bur- gundy, combines cranberry juice cocktail, frozen lemonade, rasp- berry sjTup and sparkling bur- gundy. Both are perfect to serve with your quiche, and will bring a pleasant glow to your festivities — and doubtless a resounding ren- dition of "Auld Lang Syne."

A Working Partnership Between You & Your Bank

A good banking relationship remains important to the suc- cess of most business enterprises. That relationship provides the
foundation for the loans, finan- cial advice and other services that a bank can provide to a bus- iness. Most often, that relation- ship centers on a particular lend-

Many managers ignore the need for their contribution to the suc- cess of the banking relationship. Yet a banker needs that contri- bution to properly meet every customer's needs. Your contribution can help make your banker a better banker.
The first contribution comes in the form of the deposits your business carries with the bank. Deposits represent a bank's primary source of funds. A bank invests those funds in the loans and investments that produce the bulk of its revenue. So, a firm's deposits naturally become an important consideration in the financial partnership with a bank.
As a minimum, a business should carry enough deposits to compensate the bank for its check clearing services. Indeed, every

business expects adequate pay for its goods and services. Bankers have the same expecta- tions. Bankers like to see busi- nesses fulfill that expectation with an adequate level of deposits.
A business gains some real benefits from carrjdng deposits that exceed the minimum level necessary to compensate for a bank's check clearing services. The extra deposits make the firm's checking account profita- ble for the bank. That circum- stance adds incentive for a banker's positive response to the firm's request for credit consid- eration. A banker can more read- ily justify making a loan to a profitable deposit customer.
To warrant credit considera- tion, a business also should manage its checking account in a prudent manner. At a basic level, that simply means that you shouldn't issue checks that overdraw the balances in your firm's bank account.
That will appear obvious to

most managers. But some busi- nesses operate with inadequate accounting and control systems. Some others assume that occa- sional overdrafts (checks reach- ing a bank for payment that exceed a firm's bank account) are a common business practice. But habitually issuing checks that would overdraw your check- ing account makes it more diffi- cult for the banker to meet your firm's financing needs.
The reason for that difficulty may not be readily apparent.
After all, a bank doesn't incur any financial risk when it returns a firm's checks unpaid. Moreover, banks typically charge a deposi- tor ten dollars or more for each check returned. That charge compensates for the accounting and administrative tasks asso- ciated with returning checks unpaid. The charges also add to a bank's income.
But from a banker's perspec- tive, habitually issuing checks that the bank must return unpaid raises questions about the man-

agement competence in a busi- ness enterprise. Indeed, bankers presume that competent managers do not habitually issue bad checks. Several premises justify that view.
First, issuing bad checks damages a firm's reputation with its creditors. A single check a bank returns unpaid can mar a reputable history of prompt payments. Several checks returned unpaid can prevent a business from receiving future supplier credit consideration.
Of course, some managers blame bad checks on accounting errors. Yet bankers know that competent managers install effective accounting and control systems that prevent recurring errors. So, blaming bad checks on repeated accounting errors becomes a lame excuse for mismanagement.
Other managers try to blame bad checks on unforeseen cash
flow problems. Expected payments fail to arrive or antic- ipated sales do not develop. Again, such excuses raise ques-
tions about management com- petence. Good managers do not issue checks without insuring that the funds are available to

pay the checks.
Indeed, bankers assume that businesses that habitually issue bad checks suffer from severe financial problems or misman- agement. Either presumption makes it difficult for a banker to meet a firm's financing needs.
Perhaps the most important contribution to a successful banking relationship comes from the information you provide your banker.
First, keep your banker informed about your firm's financial circumstances. As a logical minimum requirement, that means that you should supply your banker with current financial statements in a timely manner. You need a current bal- ance sheet and income statement to properly manage your business. Your banker needs the same information to properly meet your firm's financial needs.
Of course, that financial information must accompany any request for a bank loan. And a banker will request current financial statements as part of the monitoring process for loans already outstanding. But you can make your banker's job easier by providing current statements regularly and voluntarily.
Also, provide that information even though your business doesn't have any anticipated need for bank credit consideration. A fully informed banker then will have the information necessary to respond more readily when the need for a bank loan arises.
In no circumstance should you withhold financial statements from your banker because they record detrimental changes in the firm's financial circumstan- ces. In an apparent contradic- tion, bankers typically offer a positive respose to information revealing a firm's financial dif- ficulties. Indeed, a banker's knowledge and experience can lead to solutions — often includ- ing bank credit consideration — that you may not recognize. The failure to provide that informa-
tion erases that potential.
Of course, financial statements do not tell the full story about any business. So, you should provide your banker with any information necessary to com- plete that story. In one instance, a firm's unique marketing stra- tegy may be relevant informa- tion. In another instance, a major change in a firm's customer base may qualify as relevant infor-
mation. In still another instance, a change in product lines may become important. The circum- stance determines what information becomes relevant.
In any event, remember that the more your banker knows about your business, the better he understands your banking needs. So, do your part to make your banker a better banker.

How to Handle Problems Linked to Contributions
By JOSEPH ARKIN
The problem of contributions is one that has always vexed the owners of small businesses.
We have charity drives by promoters using computerized mailing lists and conducting concerted drives for organizations combating nearly every form of illness known to medical science. In addition there are campaigns for the needy, those starving overseas, and for a multitude of worthy causes.
Giving charity should not be a problem, because we are taught from early childhood that we should share what we have with those less fortunate and to give to promote the common good. Imbued with the spirit of giving, what then is the problem?
Number one on the minds of many people is the feeling of being ripped off. Is the charity bona-fide and funds collected really going for the stated pur- pose of the solicitation?
Irate is hardly the word to des- cribe the feelings of those who read newspaper exposes of pro- motions taking anywhere from 70 percent to 90 percent of the gross revenues of a charity drive.
"It's nice to give to causes which need your help, but if you don't know anything about the charity, you're not going to be a very effective giver," said Robert Both well. Executive Director of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy.
He suggests that, as a starting point in deciding which chari-
ties are legitimate, a check should be made with your local Better Business Bureau or with some of the national organizations offer- ing reports on charities. The Coundl of Better Business Bureaus (Arlington, VA), and the National Charities Information Bureau (New York, NY) both suggest several guidelines to gift giving.
• At least 50 to 60 percent of the money solicited by a charity should be applied to the cause the money is being collected for.
• Fund-raising and admin- istration costs should not exceed 40 percent.
• Solicitations for aid should be specific, telling how many people the charity has helped in the past or

exactly what it proposes to do with the money collected.
• The charity should have a volunteer board of di- rectors.
In addition, the author suggests adding the following:
1 - If you have any doubts at all about a charity, ask for a copy of its financial statement to see just how much (and percentage) of funds raised went towards promotional fees and administra- tive salaries.
2 - Look for statements in "pitch" letters indicating that the orga- nization has received tax-exempt status under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code. Copies of exemption letters are routinely mailed by charities upon request. Annual reports on Form 990 are required to be filed with the IRS by exempt organizations detail- ing sources of income and expenditures. This is some assu-

ranee of some monitoring.
3 - Ask your local Chamber of Commerce or trade association to have its name placed on lists maintained by most State Attorney Generals. Reports are
mailed listing injunctions obtained, or other actions taken against charities suspected of being fraudulent.

Here is a starting point. Check with your accountant and estab- Ush a target or budget amount, taking into consideration the profit of a prior year and pro- jected profit for the current year. In addition, consider the tax structure for the year. And, a small sum should be alloted for contingencies — the need to give a particular charity a gift or risk offending a very good customer.
The worst thing anyone in business can do, however, is to completely ignore a customer's request for a donation to that person's pet charity. This will ruffle your customer.
Whether or not you are going to make a donation, you should answer each solicitation letter. You can answer each letter indi- vidually or have form letters printed wherein you can j ust type in the name of the person to

whom addressed and the letter will look like it was individually typed.
How to handle a request for a political contribution:
"No doubt you are aware that our goods and services are extended to persons belonging to all major (and even minor) polit- ical parties. In the interst of remaining 'politically impartial' to our customers, we have estab- lished a policy of not making any political contributions.
"We trust you will see the need and rationality of such a policy and will accept our position."
A reply to those whose
organization have not been included in your established budget could be make in this way:
"We sincerely regret that we cannot comply with your request
to participate in the fund
raising campaign.
' 'At the beginning of each year we establish monthly quotas for donations to charity. The quota has been reached at this particu- lar time and we cannot make a contribution this year as availa- ble funds for the rest of the year have already been budgeted.

we will make every effort to include your name on next year's list."
A request for advertising in a journal in connection with a dinner-dance of a charitable contribution can be handled in one of three ways:
* You can refuse to purchase an advertisment based on the excuse given in the prior letter.
* You can make the donation in the guise of an advertisement, write a nice letter compliment- ing the organization's worthy efforts, and ask that your com- pany name not be printed and that the ad should say simply, "from a friend." This will help you in that others attending the function do not see your ad and consider you fair game for the solicitation they want to make for a journal their organization is going to make soon.
* You can make the donation and hope that the money will provide two benefits. One being the use to which the money is put for a worthwhile cause, the other being that the persons attending the function will appreciate your efforts, thus reaping some goodwill.
It must again be noted that all letters or in-person solicitations from customers must be handled a lot differently from those received from all sections of the country as a result of your name being on a computerized mailing list.
Where money is tight or you are giving freely but just can't honor all requests because of budgetary restraints, you can discuss with your accountant the possibility of making a donation in goods or services. Here is an opportunity to give undamaged goods (but slow moving items, etc.) to organizations in your area holding "white elephant sales," "auction sales," "bazaars and flea market sales," "rummage sales," etc. You can also donate merchandise to be used as door prizes. Other forms of noncash
22
donations can be to offer a ser- budget worked out with their
vice for free — again to a ticket holder at a luncheon or dinner, or for a raffle sale.
It is often said that those who give freely to charity of a percen- tage of their income, or within a
accountant, do not leave this world any poorer than those who do not give. In fact it is argued that they leave this world a lot richer. ©Arkin Magazine Syndicate

Cranberry Tipworm In Massachusetts 1986 Damage
By JOAN A. LASOTA
Cranberry IPM Coordinator
Massachusetts Cranberry
Experiment Station
Cranberry Tipworm (Dasineura vaccinii) is an insect pest which in the last few years has caused increased concern among Mas- sachusetts cranberry growers.
In this, and future articles, I will introduce the problem of cranberry tipworm, the extent of the damage it causes, and the potential for control. This article will focus on the effect of cran- berry tipworm on Massachusetts

cranberry bogs which were part of the Massachusetts Coopera- tive Extension integrated pest management (IPM) program (Cranberry Experiment Station, E. Wareham).
1987 represented the fifth sea- son of a Cranberry IPM program in Massachusetts. Most of the 12,000 acres of cranberry bogs are located in the southernmost part of the state, on and off of Cape Cod. Due to the large use of water in cranberry management practices, growers face consid- erable pressure with regard to the use of chemical pesticides.
The close proximity of many cranberry bogs to highly resi- dential areas and the high vis- ibility of conservation groups affords sociological implications
for a shift from conventional, calendar-based spray tactics to a spray schedule based on moni- toring pest population levels. For these reasons, as well as for monetary savings, decreased environmental toxicity and tox- icity to beneficials, and for the purpose of preventing a build-up of insecticide resistance in var- ious insect pest populations, cranberry growers are willing to integrate their management practices, provided fruit quality or quantity is not reduced.
In the IPM program, summer scouts are hired to sample and monitor various insect pest pop- ulations throughout the growing season, from mid-May to the end of August. Techniques and tools used for monitoring cranberry

pests include sweep net sampling, pheromone traps, and inspect- ing vine and berry samples. Although these techniques are useful for sampling the most damaging and widespread pest problems , techniques have yet to be worked out for pests which were previously considered secon- dary pests (pests of minor impor- tance), but which have recently increased in significance due to their potential to dramatically cause yield reduction.
One such pest is the cranberry tipworm, a tiny fly in the family, Cecidomyiidae. There are varied opinions among growers and researchers as to the importance of this pest and whether or not controls should be aimed speci- fically at the tipworm or whether it is sufficiently suppressed by chemicals which are applied against other insects. However, in 1986 and 1987, most grower questions concerned this insect. The old literature suggests success at controlling the cran- berry tipworm if applications of parathion are made at 10 day intervals. This is not a good con- trol tactic due to the high toxi- city of parathion and the high probability of building up tip- worm resistance to insecticides if they are used too frequently. Instead, we will try to promote chemical applications at times when we know certain stages of the pest are present.
Because changes in the popu- lation levels of cranberry tipworm have not recently been intensively monitored in Massachusetts, we are uncertain whether the tip- worm problem has actually increased over the last few years, or whether this is j ust perceived to be the case because growers are now more aware of the insect and its damage. We are as yet imcertain whether the seemingly increased incidence of tipworm is due to pesticide resistance, reduction in the number of insec- ticide applications used to con- trol other pests, or combinations of these and other factors.
In the IPM progrram, one of the principal times during which insecticide reductions have been made is late May to early June, when the predominant pests are gypsy moth, false armyworm, blossom worm and, occasionally, cranberry weevil. Threshold levels for these pests are not always reached. Thus, on some bogs, control action may not be neces- sary until after bloom, during berry formation (for cranberry fruitworm and Sparganothis fruitworm). However, it is in early June that the eggs from the first tipworm generation are found. This occurs when the expanding terminal leaves are young and very succulent.
On the bogs, cranberry tipworm damage is identified by an obvious cupping of the terminal leaves. However, by the time this dam- age is noticed, enough injury has been done to the young leaves that growth beyond this point is prevented. After the insects have fed off the leaves (by rasping the leaf tissue), the leaves turn brown and die. The brown, dead appear- ance (which becomes more obvious when the outer pair of leaves is pulled back or removed) is occa- sionally confused with spring frost damage.
The adult flies emerge fi-om- their overwintering pupal cases in the spring and the female flies insert white, elongate, slightly

Figure 1. Cranberry tip worm eggs
curved eggs (with rounded edges and red pigment in the center) (Fig. 1) at the base of the tiny, developing leaves at the tip of growing uprights. The micro- scopic eggs are only about a seventieth of an inch long and one or more eggs my be depos- ited in the uprights. The eggs hatch into small, white, legless maggots (Fig. 2) which eventu- ally become orange as they mature. It is the rasping mouth- parts of the maggot stage which cause the leaf damage. The mature orange maggots are approximately a sixteenth of an inch long.
Following egg hatch, it takes about 10 days for the maggot to reach maturity (Franklin 1984). Prior to developing into the next life stage, the maggot spins a white, silken cocoon which it
attaches to one of the terminal leaves. Following the maggot stage, the insect becomes a pupa inside the cocoon (puparium). Tlie pupa is also orange in color with unexpanded appendages which are held close to the body (Fig. 3). As the pupa matures, the wings and legs (still held close to the body) become blackened.
The tiny flies, which emerge from a slit at one end of the pupal case, are about a sixteenth of an inch long. They are very delicate flies, with one pair of clear wings and six long, spindly legs (Fig. 4). The female fly is character- ized by a bright, orange/red abdomen, whereas the body of the male is dark.
Some growers feel that tipworm has a beneficial pruning effect on cranberry vines, by forcing
multiple shoots to replace a sin- gle, damaged shoot. Although at certain times this seems to be the

case, it is uncertain whether these secondary shoots develop in time to produce flower buds for the following season's fruit produc- tion. And, if secondary shoots are formed, a percentage of the plant's energy is being taken away from fruit production to be used in the shoot production.
In 1954, Phil Marucci (ento- mologist. New Jersey Blueber- ry/Cranberry Research Station) published a paper on cranberry tipworm which opened with this statement made by H.B. Scam- mell in 1923: "The cranberry tipworm is the commonest insect of cranberries and yet the least understood." I believe that this might still be the case in 1988. We must identify what the impact of this pest is, following many years of bombardment with an arsenal of chemical insecti- cides.
Although I had only done pre- liminary work on this pest in
Massachusetts in 1986, the fol- lowing questions will hopefully be answered within the next few years: •When does cranberry tipworm
attack occur?
• How well is the cranberry plant able to recover from tip- worm injury and how much damage is evident at the end of

the growing season, when it is too late for a flower bud to be produced?
• What is the diversity of tip- worm infestation among bogs and how does this relate to the following year's growing season?
1986 DAMAGE Methodology:
In the beginning of September 1986 (prior to harvest), 10 vine samples per acre were randomly cut and brought back to the laboratory for inspection. The vine samples were taken from bogs which were on the state cranberry IPM program during 1986. Vine samples were taken from 201 acres (55 bogs, belong- ing to 15 growers). A total of 2,011 vines were sampled. The vines were inspected for tipworm damage in the laboratory with the use of a dissecting microscope.
Results:
Several categories of tipworm damage were identified in this study:
1-damage occurring in prim- ary (1°) uprights (these are uprights which had begun nor- mal development in the spring,
8
from the previous year's upright or runner) (Fig. 5).
2-damage occurring in secon- dary (2°) or tertiary shoots (3°) (shoots which developed as side shoots after damage had occurred in the primary or secondary uprights) (Fig. 5).
3-damage occurring at the tip of either primary or secondary shoot growth, late enough in the season so that there were no additional side shoots formed following tipworm damage. This was considered to be damage
done to terminal growth. (Due to this damage there was a loss of vegetative and flower buds for the following year's growth and fruit production).
Of the 55 bogs which were sampled, the smallest amount of tipworm damage in a primary shoot was 0% (two bogs had no tipworm damage in the 10 vines per acre used as the sample size). The maximum amount of dam- age on a bog was 71.4%. The mean tipworm damage on prim- ary growth was 29.6% (when all

Introducing New Norosae Herbicide; IVIore Particles, Better Coverage.
Let us send you a sample to test on the toughjes like Quackgrass, Redroot Pigweed and Horsetail (Equisetum SPP).
Since its introduction in the U.S.A., Norosac has increased in sales each year Fruitgrowers and producers of field-grown nursery stock have seen how well it controls weeds and grasses, even the toughest of them, and yet how gentle it is to young trees and ornamentals.
Now, Norosac is even better To help you understand the reasons why, let us review how Norosac works.
When Norosac granules are spread on the ground, the active ingredient, dichlobenil, is carried into the upper layer of soil by moisture.
This dissolved active ingredient is vaporized as the soil temperature rises above 50° F. The vapor is held in place by organic matter.
Because dichlobenil vapor moves very little in the soil, and its uniformity there is essential to weed control, the uniform distribution of granules is
Dark drawing compares granule coverage of the ORIGINAL Norosac with the superior coverage (right) of the NEW formulation having 37% more particles to the pound. This greater density results in substantially less risk of a gap existing in the vapor barrier through which sprouts can escape.

Although NEW Norosac has the same amount of active ingredient as the original formulation, and is applied at the same rate, it contains 37% more particles per pound. This results in a more even vapor barrier and correspondingly better control.

bogs were averaged) (Table 1).
The mean percent of secondary shoot growth, which resulted after damage occurred in the primary growth, was 54.3% (when all bogs were considered) (Table 1). This means that in 45.7% of the cases there was no secondary shoot growth ("pruning effect") follow- ing tipworm damage in the primary shoot. The minimum amount of secondary shoot growth was 0 and the maximum on an individual bog was 100%.
An average of 10.4% of the vines with secondary shoot growth had tipworm damage in these secondary shoots (in addi- tion to the damage which had occurred in the primary shoots) (Table 1).
The most significant piece of information in terms of deter- mining the percent of buds (vegetative and flower) which could not be produced due to tip- worm attack late in the growing season — or attack at a time when

the plant was unable to compen- sate for the damage by sending out secondary shoots — is the data on percent tipworm damage to terminal growth. This damage is seen in the part of the plant which would have been forming vegetative buds (for the follow- ing season's vine growth) or flower buds (for the following season's fruit production). In 1986,
the bog with the least amount of tipworm damage in terminal growth had 0% damage. In these cases, either:
1-there was no initial tipworm damage in primary growth, or
2-there was damage in prim- ary growth, but the plant com- pensated by sending out secon- dary shoots which were not subsequently damaged.

The bog with the greatest amount of damage in the termi- nal growth had 48.2% damage, meaning that, in this bog, close to half of the potential vegeta- tive and/or flower buds for the following season had been des- troyed by tipworm. The average amount of terminal damage (when all bogs were considered) was 13.5%.
Conclusion:
In 1986, cranberry tipworm caused varied amounts of dam- age to cranberry bogs in Massa- chusetts. In most of the cases where damage was done to primary shoot growth, the cran- berry plant compensated by sending out secondary shoots. However, in 10.4% of the cases these secondary shoots were also attacked. The average overall terminal growth damage was 13.5%. This is the amount of damage seen at the end of the growing season Oust prior to harvest) when the plant is read- ying itself for the winter dor- mant phase, and, at this point, it is probably too late for the plant to form a vegetative or flower bud for the following year.
Part II of "Cranberry Tipworm in Massachusetts" will focus on damage which occurred in 1987.

Zero Varroa Mites Turn Up in Bay State
Apiary inspectors have looked closely at 3,500 bee colonies in Massachusetts since last October and so far haven't come up with a single Varroa mite.
Peter Kuzmiski, chief of the Bureau of Pest Control for the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture, told CRAN- BERRIES Magazine that the inspection will wind up in early '88.
The deadly Varroa mite has been found in eight states, includ- ing Wisconsin, the largest cran- berry producing state next to number one Massachusetts.
The bee pest feeds on mature honeybees as well as their larvae and pupae.
Kuzmiski says a weak colony going into the winter is likely doomed if invaded by the mite.
Bees imported from out-of-state are the principal concern of Massachusetts growers. Accord- ing to the Massachusetts Farm Bureau, 98% of Bay State grow- ers are dependent on migratory beekeepers.
The Varroa mite is about the size of a pinhead.
Alfred P. Carl Jr. is the chief apiary inspector for the state.

Building a Home Office (and tax consequences)
By JOSEPH ARKIN, C.P.A.
As a business owner you may find that there is a certain amount of paper work that just can't be done on business premises dur- ing the normal working day.
Constant interruptions — tele- phone calls, information requests, and the need to oversee daily operations — can pull you away from your desk.
A glance at your desk piled high with unfinished work is the primary reason you need to establish a little office sanctuary at home. This, despite warnings about bringing work home after an exhausting day at your place of business.
However, in the privacy of your home, undisturbed (hopefully), you can clear up a backlog of work, face the next day without the harassment of both custo- mers and employees asking countless questions.
If the idea of a home office appeals to you and seems to make some sense, here are some neces- sary steps to create your "little office den."
According to office-design experts, creating an office needn't take a great deal of space or money. Actually , just about every home boasts a nook or cranny, if not a full room, that can be con- verted to a useful purpose by being made into an office. What's more, you'll be converting "waste" space into a center of the house- hold's working world — a thoroughly worthwhile improve- ment in these days of shrinking space, when all of us are doing more with less.
There are two major aspects of creating a home office — how much space is needed and what equipment is required.
14
Obviously, if you have an extra room, even a guest room, an office is a wonderful way to make full- time use of the space. You can even make do with an office built into a space measuring only 5' x 4'. With good organization, that's enough for a desk, a chair, file drawers and shelves, plus all of the equipment you're likely to need.
When available space is small, it can be found anyplace. A comer of the laundry room — where casual traffic is at a minimum, and you're likely to find the peace and privacy that paper work demands — is often a good spot to locate your home office. In a two- story house, explore the space under the stairs. Or look into the possibilities of converting a closet

to a desk enclosure. With the substitution of folding doors, opened wide when someone's working, a sizeable closet becomes a thoroughly practical office with a minimal disruption of the fam- ily's established living patterns.
Whatever the space you choose, wherever, make sure it's out of the mainstream of traffic. With peace and quite, office work will go much faster and more efficiently.
Proper equipment, and efficient organization, are equally impor- tant. No matter how small, or big, your office space, there are some things that are "musts." A good writing surface and good lighting are essential.
One of the smartest desks is also the cheapest: a small flush door topping a pair of two-drawer file cabinets. Or, if you buy a desk, its top should be wide enough for your needs, and its

Hydraulic Pumps
Variable-Displacement Piston Pumps
The variable-displacement pump when used with a tixed- displacement motor (such as our Cessna S74418, or our Vickers TB 15) is called a constant torque transmission. The torque output is constant at any speed. Power output is varied by adjusting pump displacement which changes speed
Power output may be varied manually by the operater as required on the Hydura PVO 1 5, and the Vickers TA 6 or, with a sensor m the hne that automatically conlrols the output as is used with IheVickers PVE 21. and PVQ J.?.

imum. A pencil mug, paper-clip container and stapler, stamp holder and telephone index book are sufficient. You want to keep your space for working, not for dust-collectors. The phone belongs on the wall, along with rulers, scissors and everything else you can hang.
For maximum neatness, use hanging type files; the arrangement can be fitted into any standard-size file drawer. Paper and envelopes can be stored in a shallow, slantwise divider — it is inexpensive and standard equipment at any office supply store. The paper organizer can be stored in a shallow drawer — if you have room for a third, small- drawer file cabinet in your new office space — or on top of the desk or on a shelf above the desk. Wherever it's located, it will keep your working supplies in neat, accessible order.
Shelves are a necessity in any
case, for the storage of equip- ment and certain books you will want to keep at home. If you are carving an office out of the smal- lest space, say a closet, build the shelves as high as you can reach up the wall at the back of the desk. Three shelves at twelve- inch intervals should do the trick. They can be ordinary lumber- yard pine, supported on slotted rods, fastened to the wall with expansion bolts and brackets.
Equipment musts are chang- ing as rapidly as office technol- ogy. These days, a typewriter is a necessity, rather than a lux- ury. You're never too old — or too young — to learn. If you're pur- chasing a new machine for home, make it one of the lightweight portables that can easily be stored under the desk, in its own case, when not in use.
Other equipment should include a portable desk calculator — invaluable for the tax and busi-
ness arithmetic so necessary the; days. A small tape recorder f dictating letters is helpful. Ju
"The future is just as uncertain as ever. Recogni- tion of that fact is the foundation of investment success.

A less familiar mechanical helper that deserves a place on your equipment list is one of the new compact copying machines. A tremendous cut down of tedious copying. And, they are available for under $1000. You can record data from books and magazines, keep copies of tax and business records, and copy memos to cir- culate at the office.
The investment in space and equipment will pay for itself.
What about getting an income tax deduction?
If you are doing work of your principal business you get no deduction. The home office must e your principal place of business.
However, if you have a second income from a sideline enterprise, you can deduct home office expenses if it is exclusively and regularly used as principal place of business and used to meet with customers in the normal course of business. Expenses include, but are not limited to: expensing of fixed assets pur- chased; depreciation of those assets you do not expense; cost of supplies; decorating expenses; separate telephone; and pro-rata share (based on space) of heat- ng, lighting, insurance, even iepreciation of the house itself.* ilxcept for depreciation of pre- mises, these deductions are ivailable to a tenant.
Are you an employee? An ndependent contractor? You annot rent space to your mployer or principal. Employees :an get a deduction for home iffice deductions if they can show hat the use is for the conven- ence of the employer. In all instances, the home office xpense cannot give rise to a 3ss. In such cases the losses are arried forward and not currently educted. Exception is for mort- age interest and real estate taxes, "hese are fully deductible. So, besides helping you get
your work done efficiently and pleasantly, a home office can also be economical.

Children love parties and — since birthdays come but once a year — it's nice to plan special little fetes at other times to add sparkle to their social lives, too! Valentine's Day is a per- fect occasion for such a party, with the added plus that it can be easy on the pocketbook and, at the same time, bright, gay and chock full of imaginative and playful ideas.
Cranberry sauce and drinks are children's flavor favorites — and because they're color-right and tastefully versatile, they combine perfectly in recipes for that red-letter day. Each of the following recipes for your Val-

)cean Spray Claims Innocence
Cooperative Charged With Pollution Law Violations
By CAROLYN GILMORE
Ocean Spray was hit Jan. 28 /ith a 78 count indictment of nowingly violating the federal 'lean Water Act.
Six felony charges are part of 1 counts of not pretreating waste /ater before it drains into the own's sewage system from the ompany's Middleboro, Mass., irocessing plant, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Velch, who will be prosecuting he case. The remaining seven

counts charge the cranberry handler with discharging waste water into the wetlands and the Nemasket River.
Arraignment in the case will take place Feb. 24 in U.S. Dis- trict Court in Boston.
The alleged violations could result in $2.1 milUon in fines. They represent the first charges since Congress tightened the pollution laws last year.
The indictment deals mainly with the company's discharge over the last five years of waste water, the acidity of which pur- portedly kills bacteria needed to operate the town's sewage plant.
The Middleboro processing plant, one of the Ocean Spray Cooperative's five full scale plants in the country, borders the Nemasket River near the town line between Middleboro and
Lakeville. About 280 full time employees work there and nearly 1,000 workers are hired during the harvest.
The company is constructing new corporate headquarters at a separate site actually straddling the Middleboro-Lakeville line. About 400 employees will be rel- ocated there from the present Plymouth headquarters this fall.
THE FORTUNE SOOcompany issued the following statement after receiving a copy of the indictment by a grand jury in Boston:
"Our response is that at no time did Ocean Spray endanger the pubhc's health or the envir- onment. We believe that Ocean Spray will be found innocent of all charges."
The charges, in fact, amount to spilled cranberry juice, said

John Lawlor, Ocean Spray's manager of public relations. Any pollutants, he added, consisted of "small amounts of cranber- ries and cranberry skins" spilled into the Nemasket River as well as cranberry juice that entered the Middleboro treatment system.
"We think Ocean Spray has worked harder than just about any company to comply with government regulations," Law- lor said.
He observed that the company invested more than $1 million to improve the quality of its waste water before it was released into the Middleboro sewage system. It also has cooperated with the town by paying for labor and materials to replace the treat- ment plant's pipes.
The company will remain open to addressing problems at the town level and with the state Department of Enviromental Quality Engineering and the
federal Environmental Protection Agency, Lawlor said.
"We were dismayed at the sev- erity of the charges and the manner in which they were leveled," Lawlor remarked.
The company was aware of the grand jury investigation last year, but, he said, "had no idea when they would come back and what the findings would be."
The U.S. Attorney chose to go public without informing the company, Lawlor noted.
"We understood that before going public they would contact us with the findings," he said. "We believe we will be exonerated."
ALTHOUGH Middleboro is developing rapidly. Ocean Spray is still by far the town's largest sewage system customer, account- ing for 90 percent of the organic wastes processed there.
The sewage agreement between Ocean Spray and the town does
allow for a high level of these solids, which prove costly and difficult to treat, Middleboro Town Manager John F. Healey said.
He added that the town itself risks violating water pollution laws when it discharges inade- quately treated water from its sewage plant.
On another matter, Healey reported that the Ocean Spray processing plant's activities have caused electricity consumption at the sewage treatment facility to rise 45 percent in the past few years. He has recommended recalculation of the formula for charging electricity to the company.

Reagan Hits Cranberry Research Grants
State of Union Message Stirs Cranberry People
Reaction to the latest State of the Union speech by President Reagan ranged from ire to bemusement to agreement on the part of the cranberry community.
In his message to Congress, Reagan hit at research grants — including one for cranberries — as a reason he needs line-item veto power when tackling the federal budget.
The President implied that the grants were frivolous.
The cranberry research grant of $260,000 had been awarded to

Rutgers University in New Jer- sey. Its two fold purpose is the development of higher yielding berries and elimination of insect pests.
John Lawlor, manager of pub- lic relations for Ocean Spray, termed it ironic that Reagan took a swipe at "the only sector of agriculture that doesn't receive some sort of farm subsidy."
A higher yield of cranberries, he said, could lead to additional jobs. The grant, he said, also is helpful to Rutgers.
"We have to keep in perspec- tive the amount of money here," Lawlor said. "Look at it in terms of the federal deficit. Eliminat- ing the grant certainly isn't going to cure the deficit."
Irving Demoranville, director of the Massachusetts Cranberry Experiment Station, said his first reaction upon hearing of the grant was envy — "they got it and we didn't."
Noting that the growing trend
is to have the individual com- modities fund their own research, he said he agrees there shouldn't be a return to a past in which government bore the total cost of research.
Demoranville declared that agricultural research isn't exactly swimming in funds.
"I can't remember when we last got a new vehicle," he said, noting that the station's dump truck is 20 years old.
"We've got an old garage roof that's leaking and occasionally we get someone from the electric company threatening to turn off our lights."
One major grower said that while the research grant "is not the best example of pork barrel- ing," he didn't agree that "the taxpayers should pick up the tab."
With a chuckle, he said, "Don't use my name or I'll have other growers down my back."

BOG workers found the lightweight Bog Boom easy to assem- ble, disassemble and load back onto trucks.
(CRANBERRIES photo by Cornelius Hogenbirk)
Its Use Expands In New Jemy
BoQ Boom
By Cornelius Hogenbirk
The Bog Boom, used to corral cranberries at harvest time, is beginning to spread in New Jersey.
Major reason? The Bog Boom, manufactured in Cocoa, Fla., by Containment Systems Corpora- tion, is relatively light in weight compared to the old, awkward wood booms that they replace.
They consist of a 4-inch diame- ter floatation protected by a tough, vinyl coated fabric cover, with a 4-inch hanging vinyl skirt which includes a ballast chain pocket.
The Bog Boom was first dem- onstrated in New Jersey at the Oswego state experimental bogs five or six years ago.
The first New Jersey grower to give it a try was Ernie Bowker,
who runs the Sheep Pen Hill bogs in Magnolia, which is just eastof Camden. Bowker piu-chased 350 feet in three 100 foot sections plus one 50 foot section.
"We never realized how easy this was to use," Ernie said. "Just like taking candy from a baby."
He didn't recall the exact year that he started using the Bog (continued on page 11)

Boom but he believes it was '83.
The following year, Ted Budd got hooked and decided to get several sections for a try at the Budd bogs in Pemberton. Ted commented that the Bog Boom was a lot easier to use . . . that employees liked it . . . and that it was easy to load onto one or two pickup trucks.
The Bowker and Budd bogs, incidentally, are among the oldest of the numerous historical bogs in New Jersey. Ted mentioned that his family represents the fifth generation operating the bogs.
It's worth noting that actual cultivation of cranberries in New Jersey began around 1840, according to a State Board of Agriculture report dated 1874. In 1840, according to the report.
John Webb established a bog in Ocean County, near Cassville.
Webb received $50 per barrel for his cranberries. Ship merchants sold them to whalers, who kept them aboard ship in cold water for the sailors to eat, more as a medicine than as a food. The berry's vitamin C warded off scurvy, the plague of seafarers in the age of sails.
Back to the Bog Boom. This past harvest season, a third New Jersey grower, Lee Brothers in Chatsworth, began using the equipment for the first time.
"We first saw the 'Booms' in use at a demonstration in Oswego many years ago," Abbott Lee explained. "We then saw it used extensively last year in Wiscon- sin, where we were very much impressed with it."
Abbott noted that the Bog Boom is easy to handle — "works better than the old wooden booms and we can use tractors on either
side."

Says Ocean Spray
Label Issue Stems From Lack of Knowledge
Ralph Nader and others are wrongly trying to compare apples and oranges or — to be more precise— apples, oranges and cranberries.
That's the view of John Law- lor, manager of public relations for Ocean Spray.
He was remarking about the pressure by the Nader organiza- tion and 100 percent fruit juice manufacturers to get the Food & Drug Administration to enforce a regulation requiring all com- panies to label their products with the percentage of fruit juice they contain.
"We're 100 percent behind providing information," Lawlor said. "But the required labeling would be misleading.
"The cranberry is different. It's very tart. You can't drink it straight any more than you can drink lemon straight.
"Also, it's the nature of the cranberry not to be high in water content. Therefore, our cranberry juice cocktail with 85 percent water has less water than 100 percent pure apple juice which contains 86 to 88 percent water.
"And there is more vitamin C in cranberry juice cocktail than there is in 100 percent orange juice."
Lawlor said Ocean Spray is in favor of nutrition labeling, which would give the public a truer pic- ture of what it is consuming.
"Let's get consumer groups, the industry and government together and establish nutritional labeling," the spokesman for Ocean Spray declared.

Mum's the Word In Trust Case
Nobody is talking right now about the Sherman Act suit filed in behalf of Decas Brothers Sales against Ocean Spray last October.
Much, of course, will be said at the trial but no date has yet been set.
Bruce Sokler, the Washing- ton, D.C., lawyer represent- ing Decas, said he doesn't expect a trial until the end of the year, "at the very least."
The trial will take place in the U.S. District Court in Boston.
Decas accuses Ocean Spray of pricing violations regard- ing both fresh and frozen cranberries in the effort to maintain a monopoly. It also
alleges that the cooperative engaged in some unfair mar- keting in the fruit juices field.
The nature of the trial could, of course, be affected by the November election and its aftermath.
The current Administration is not noted for being zealous about antitrust enforcement.
A ne>v White House and Con gress could take an even mort lenient attitude or press foi stricter regulation.
One likely inevitability: protracted trial. Antitrus' cases are notorious for last ing as long as a decade oi more.

Introducing New Norosac Herbicide; More Particles, Better Coverage.
Let us send you a sample to test on the toughies like Quackgrass, Redroot Pigweed and Horsetail (Equisetum SPP).
Since its introduction in the U.S.A., Norosac has increased in sales each year. Fruitgrowers and producers of field-grown nursery stock have seen how well it controls weeds and grasses, even the toughest of them, and yet how gentle it is to young trees and ornamentals.
Now, Norosac is even better To help you understand the reasons why, let us review how Norosac works.
When Norosac granules are spread on the ground, the active ingredient, dichlobenil, is earned into the upper layer of soil by moisture.
This dissolved active ingredient is vaporized as the soil temperature rises above 50° F. The vapor is held in place by organic matter.
Because dichlobenil vapor moves very little in the soil, and its uniformity there is essential to weed control, the uniform distribution of granules is
Dark drawing compares granule coverage of the ORIGINAL Norosac with the supehor coverage (right) of the NEV\/ formulation having 37% more particles to the pound. This greater density results in substantially less risk of a gap existing in the vapor barrier through

i Aimed specifically at cranberry jp-owers, the new program has [jeen designed to provide grow- ers with an easy-to-use method jf tracking production costs and producing handler and chemical reports, Bennie says.
Research and development ot the system took Bennie and his associates more than five years. Local cranberry growers, said the young entrepreneur, were involved in all phases of the pro-

gram's development to assure that the system met all of their information needs.
A former employee of Ocean Spray, Bennie worked for sev- eral years with growers, auto- mating their accounting systems. It was during that period, Ben- nie says, that he saw "a tre- mendous need" for growers to be able to tracH production infor- mation by bog section. He set out to develop a computer system to meet that objective.
Initial systems were installed by the company in 1987. The response was enthusiastic, says
Bennie.
The Cranberry Computers president says he and his staff will assist growers with hard- ware purchases and set up soft- ware installation and training.
"This support continues until the grower is comfortable and knowledgeable about all aspects

Bennie has a BS in accounting from Northern Arizona Univer- sity and a masters degree in computer information systems from Bentley College.
In addition to the "Cranberry Growers System," Bennie also has developed other programs for the cranberry industry. He designed a computer system for the Cranberry Marketing Order to manage the allocation of base quantity and provide the govern- ment with industry statistics. He also developed a Cranberry Handlers System to track ber- ries received and amounts of clean fruit shipped to buyers.
While employed at Ocean Spray, Bennie met his wife, the former Becky Andrews, a South Carver native. She handles the company's administrative duties. Mark and Becky reside in Plymouth and they are expecting their first child in June.
Bennie says demonstration packages of "Cranberry Grow- ers System" are available.

How to Make the Most of an IRA
By JOSEPH ARKIN
An Individual Retirement Account should appeal to almost every taxpayer. After all, an indi- vidual's investment in an IRA becomes a deduction that lowers his/her current income tax obli- gation. Moreover, the taxation of the earnings from an IRA are deferred imtil they are withdrawn. Finally, an Individual Retirement Account can provide a valuable addition to a person's retirement income.
Despite these advantages, out of 83 million eligible Americans, only 20 million have an IRA. Some common misunderstand- ings may explain that disparity.
For example, many people believe that the benefits from an IRA are available only to those in the highest income tax brack- ets. Others believe that opening an Individual Retirement Accoxmt
is a complex and expensive pro- cess. Still others believe that only sophisticated investors have the capacity to manage an IRA.
All of those beliefs represent unfortunate misconceptions.
Indeed, opening an IRA is rel- atively easy and, most often, inexpensive. Moreover, manag- ing an IRA can be as simple as you choose to make it. The dis- cussion that follows will prove those facts. Hopefully, the dis- cussion also will encourage many people to take advantage of the financial benefits that can come from an Individual Retirement Account.
First, note that an unmarried individual can invest up to $2,000 in an IRA. The amount invested then becomes a deduction from that person's gross income. More precisely, the contribution to the IRA actually appears as a
downward "adjustment" to the individual's gross income. So, the tax benefits are available whether or not the individual itemizes deductions.
To demonstrate the tax bene- fits, let's look at an unmarried individual with $26,000 in taxa- ble income. That puts the indi- vidual into the 28% marginal tax bracket. That means the indi- vidual pays 28 cents in taxes on each dollar of income above the $16,801 breaking point.*
Now, assume that the individ- ual elects to put $2,000 into an Individual Retirement Account. That decision creates a deduc- tion that lowers his/her taxable income to $24,000. We find the tax savings by multiplying the $2,000 deduction by the 28%
•In 1988 the break point will be $17,851
marginal tax rate:
$2,000 X .28 = $560
Thus, the decision to establish an IRA reduces the individual's income tax obligation by $560. From another perspective, we can say that the reduction in income taxes provides $60 out of the total invested in the IRA.
The size of the tax benefit increases as higher income pushes individuals into higher margi- nal tax brackets. Moreover, additional benefits develop because the tax on the earnings from an IRA are deferred. As we will see below, that enables the IRA to grow more rapidly in value than would be possible if the income was subject to income taxes.
The potential benefits from an IRA can be even larger for mar- ried couples. That potential exists because married couples can put larger sums into an IRA each year. Married couples with both partners working can contribute $2,000 each to an IRA each year, or a total of $4,000. Couples with only one married partner work- ing can place $2,250 into an IRA each year.
Now, again ignoring the par- ticular investments selected for an Individual Retirement

Account, let's see how the free- dom from taxes on an account's income can accelerate the growth in the value of an IRA.
To illustrate, we will establish two Individual Retirement Accounts. One account will be for a single individual who pla- ces $2,000 into an IRA each year for 30 years. The other account will be for a married couple plac- ing $4,000 each year into an IRA account for the same 30 year period. We also will assume that
each IRA produces a 10% aver age annual rate of return for the 30 year period.
Finally, we will presume that the individual and the married couple remain in the 28% margi- nal tax bracket for the 30 year period. WhUe that isn't completely realistic, it does facilitate the illustration of potential growth in the value of an IRA.
Remember, we are comparing the accumulated saving for the IRA's against a savings account

The comparison emphasizes the benefits that can develop when the income taxes on the earnings from an IRA are deferred.
Thus, an individual placing $2,000 annually into an IRA that earns 10% accumulates $400,993 after 30 years. That more than doubles the accumulation that would occur if the same interest income was subject to taxation at the 28% marginal tax rate.
The married couple's accumu- lation is even more startling. The $4,000 annual deposit into the IRA account grows to more than $800,000 after 30 years. Again, that more than doubles the accumulation possible when the income from a 10% account is subject to taxation.
Note again that income an IRA produces actually doesn't escape taxation. Rather, the tax obligation on interest, dividends or other earnings is deferred until the owners begin withdrawing the fimds, presvunably after retire- ment, when they are in a lower income tax bracket.
Withdrawals from an IRA account may begin when the owner reaches 59^2 years of age. However, if not already initiated, withdrawals must begin when
the owner becomes 70V2 years old.
As a final note, if circumstan- ces dictate a withdrawal from an IRA account before the owner has reached the eligible age, the funds become subject to taxa- tion. In that case, the individual must pay a 10% penalty for early withdrawal.
In any event, the tax benefits available from an Individual Retirement Account should make them very attractive for a large proportion of those eligible.
Establishing an IRA is rela- tively simple. After you identify the specific investment vehicle, opening an IRA account requires only a few minutes to complete an "IRA Application and Adop- tion Agreement."
Indeed, it's so simple that the reluctance to contend with paper- work represents the weakest excuse for not opening an IRA account. That holds true particu- larly when you recognize the financial benefits that can de- velop from such accounts. In fact, the size of the tax savings fi-om establishing an IRA justify bor-

rowing the funds for the IRA, if necessary. The interest costs are nominal when compared to the tax savings.
Now, let's turn to the other concern associated with the deci- sion to establish an Individual Retirement Account. That is, where do you invest the funds committed to an IRA?
In fact, you can invest the funds devoted to an IRA in a surprising variety of different forms. You can buy safe certifi- cates of deposit at your local bank or savings and loan. Such deposits account for fifty percent
of all the funds placed in IRA's.
Alternatively, you can invest in a risky real estate venture by placing the funds in a Limited Partnership. Or you can juggle them among a variety of invest- ments in an effort to boost earn- ings.
You can place the funds in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, money market accounts or pass- book savings accoimts. Moreover, if you select one investment and later change your mind, you can move the funds into another investment.

Moreover, you don't have to make the maximum allowable investment all at once. You can make it in several stages through- out the year. Of course, making the investment earlier in the year is beneficial, since that provides the opportunity to start earning tax sheltered earnings sooner.
Or, you can wait until April 15 of the following year, and still make an investment using an IRA that remains as a deduction

Indeed, finding a place to invest the funds devoted to an Individ- ual Retirement Account actually is easy. The hard part comes from the necessity to choose among the available alternatives.
How do you make that choice?
As the first step, you must identify your personal financial goals and interrelate those goals with the return you want to earn from an Individual Retirement Account. Then, you must recog- nize the basic relationship between the return you can expect firom an investment and the risk you

Do Nematodes Reduce Cranberry Yields?
By RONALD F. MYERS Agricultural Experiment Station
I Rutgers University
j High numbers of nematodes /ere discovered around the eriphery of areas of "dieback isease" and among declining,
(linning vines in New Jersey's anberry bogs.
Such areas of "dieback disease" light be described as follows: The central zone contained bare round and weed plants, but ually no cranberry vines. Pro- ceding outward, a band of dying, ten browning cranberry plants termixed with weeds occurred, hich turned reddish in early 11.
This band, designated as igetation condition 1, was wipe-
jsated with glyphosate to reduce ed competition to the residual anberry plants. Just outside is band was a belt of a meter or ore width (vegetation condition containing plants whose tops ipeared normal, but they had allow, blackened and obviously tting roots. This belt could be ted like a "rug," using a flat,

bladed shovel. Healthy plants surround these slowly advanc- ing zones of dieback disease.
In most bogs, sheath nema- tode, Hemicycliophora ritteri, Brizuela, 1963, was the dominant species but in some stubby root, Paratrichodorus christiei (Allen, 1957) Siddiqi, 1974, (=P. minor (Colbran, 1956) Siddiqi, 1974), was common. Other nematodes intermittently present in lower numbers were spiral, Helicoty- lenchus sp., stunt, Tylenchorhyn- chus sp., and ring, Criconemella sp. Since total nematode numbers often exceeded 3000/pint of soil, it was suspected that nematodes might be responsible for the observed cranberry Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait., dieback and vine decline.
Field plots were established in
the diseased areas overlying both dying plants (vegetation condi- tion 1) and plants that appeared normal but had shallow, rotting roots (vegetation condition 2). Each half overlying vegetation condition 1 and 2 was separately sampled for nematodes and harvested for yields. A total of seven chemical treatments and a check were replicated four times for a total of 32 x 2 plots. Soil samples were taken prior to apply- ing treatments in July and again at the October harvest.
During the following year, all plots were again sampled during August and at harvest. The numbers and weights of both good and rotten fruit were deter- mined for two years. Treatments were Furadan 4F (4.0 lbs/A actual ingredient, a.i.), Vydate 2EC (5.0

lbs/A a.i.), Nemacur 3SC (10.0 lbs/A a.i.), Mocap 6EC (10 lbs/A a.i.), Ridomil 2E (1.5 lbs/A, actual ingredient a.i.), Benlate 50WP (0.5 lbs/A a.i.), Difolatan 80 sprills+Dithane M-45 80WP (2.5 lbs + 2.0 lbs/A a.i.).
While the nematicides were appUed just once, Ridomil was applied twice, once each during July and September, and the other fungicides three times (9 July, 24 July and 5 September). Nemati- cides were applied in water at a calculated dilution of 300 G/A. The vegetation rating was an estimate of percentage of plot covered. A disease rating of 1-5 (l=healthy normal plants and 5=bare soil or very little living vegetation) also utilized color and vine density. Color included dead, blackened vines or reddened foliage due to early senescence. Correlation, ANOVA, and Dun- can's multiple range tests were done on the data.
No phytotoxicity was noted
after chemical application. While some minor differences in yields were observed among chemical treatments, no significant differ- ences in nematode populations were noted among treatments and the controls. Populations of sheath nematodes fluctuated between spring and fall samples but remained about the same over the two year period, while stubby root nematodes slightly increased in overall population. The sheath nematode was present in 92% of the plots and ranged from 0-3750 nematodes/- pint of soil during the first year, but by the following year only 80% of the plots contained sheath nematode. Stubby root nematodes were present in 75% and 85% of the plots and ranged from 0-530 nematodes/pint of soil during the first year but the range increased to 0-1400 the following year. Stunt and spiral nematodes were present in low numbers in less than 25% of the plots.
Difolatan+Dithane treatment resulted in a significant increase in the numbers and weight of good berries over the control in the vegetation condition 1 plots for both years. Higher yields were noted after two years in plots treated with Furadan, Nemacur or Benlate. No soil treatment had a significant effect on either percentage of vine coverage or disease rating.
Another experiment consisting of thirty plots was established in a cranberry bog where stubby^ root nematodes predominated. The results showed that numberS| ranged from 10-1 100 nematodes/i pint of soil with a mean numbeij of 300 stubby root nematodes There were no relationships among niunber of nematodes amount of vine dieback, total yield or berry rot. ^
A final experiment was set uj^ in an attempt to demonstrate £ relationship among numbers o: ' nematodes and yield parameters

disease rating were similar in all plots. Nematode numbers had no observable relationships to percentage cover, disease rating or berry yields.
No evidence was developed during two years of research to connect nematodes to the die- back disease. In addition, no reductions in yield nor damage to cranberry plants were caused by the relatively high numbers of nematodes present in the bogs.
Relatively httle is known about nematode parasites of cranber- ries, although surveys in Wis- consin, New Jersey and Massa- chusetts indicated their presence, often in high numbers. The most common nematodes were sheath and ring from Wisconsin (Barker & Boone, 1966), spiral and sheath from New Jersey (Bird & Jen- kins, 1964) and sheath and stunt nematodes in Massachusetts
(Zuckerman & Coughlin, 1960). The major genera were identi- cal, although geographically the species varied. For example: H. ritteri predominated and H. sim- His Thome, 1955, occurred in New Jersey, H. similis in Mas- sachusetts, while H. typica de Man, 1921, was recorded as present in Wisconsin. Several other genera of plant parasitic nematodes have also been report- ed, but none have been shown to reduce yields in cranberries. These include Afer/mms ioctus (Thome, 1949) Sher, 1973, and Atylenchus decalineatus Cobb, 1913, and species from the following genera: Tylenchus, Psilenchus, Ditylen- chus, Meloidogyne, Aphelenchoi- des, Paratylenchus, Pratylenchus, Hoplolaimus, Xiphinema (Bird & Jenkins, 1964; Barker & Boone, 1966; Zuckerman, 1961).

onstrated that stubby root nem- atodes were the most pathogenic of four species and stopped root growth while causing root discolor- ation.
Fourteen of 16 other species of nematodes tested fed and repro- duced on potted cranberries. Seedlings and cuttings of cran- berries were extremely sensitive to injury by nematodes. Injury to potted cranberries is probably due to limited root development and the large nimiber of para- sites inoculated onto the root systems in relatively small volumes of soil. Such sanitized greenhouse soil confined in pots is considerably different from bog soil and pathogenicity in pots is not necessarily reprodu- cible under field conditions.
Although no relationships among populations to growth and yield parameters could be dem- onstrated in my field tests, Bird and Jenkins (1963) reported that DBCP (1,2 dibromo-3-chloropro- pane)and Zinophos (0,0-diethyl 0-2-pyrazinyl phosphorothioate), both of which are no longer labeled for use, significantly controlled nematodes. They also reported that plants produced a greater niunber of uprights and fruit buds (7-44%).
No consideration was given to the possibility of the chemicals also controlling pathogenic, nontarget organisms and the probability of nutrient release by the death and decay of soil organisms or chemical breakdown resulting in nitrogen release. Such phenomena are known to increase plant growth. Zuckerman (1964) indicated yield increases resulted from field application of Zino- phos, but an examination of these reveal that, in some cases, the untreated controls yielded more firuit.
The current and previous research suggest, therefore, that the presence of relatively high numbers of nematodes cause lit- tle damage to cranberries, with the possible exception of young.

Census Bureau Seeks Facts On Agriculture
The U.S. Census Bureau ascertains a a great deal of sig- nificant information about the field of agriculture from its sur- vey of growers and other farmers. Participants had been asked to return the census forms by Feb. 1 .
This latest census of agricul- ture is the 23rd in a series that began in 1840. The census form contains questions about such basic subjects as land use and ownership, crop value and oper- ator characteristics. Report forms sent to 20 percent of farms con- tain additional questions on production methods and expenses, income from farm-related sour- ces, etc.
The census enables the Cen- sus Bureau to present the big picture about such facts as the number and size of agricultural holdings, production, sales and financial health.
Here are other ways the fig- ures are helpful, says the Census Bureau:
•The U.S. Department of Agri- culture can use county level cen- sus data to define problem areas
and help growers and other farmers recover fi-om outbreaks of disease or pests.
• Farmer organizations, Con- gress and state and local govern- ments which plan programs to help farm operators get the most for their investments will find census statistics helpful.
• Farm machinery manufactur- ers can better pinpoint the most effective products and where needs are changing, to the eco- nomic benefit of farm operators.

The latest crop report from the New England Agricultural Statistics Service indicates the 1987 Massachusetts cran- berry crop as 1 ,440,000 barrels, 1 9 percent below the August estimate and 20 percent below the record crop of 1 986.
Other areas show New Jersey at 280,000 barrels, about 14 percent below last year; Oregon, 144,000 barrels, a record, I believe; Washington, 130,000 barrels, about the same as the August estimate, and Wiscon- sin, 1,264,000 barrels, about 4 percent below the August estimate. The national total is 3,258,000 barrels, down about 1 0 to 1 1 percent from 1 986.
Even though the Massachusetts crop was down about 20 percent, it was the fourth largest in our records, exceeded only by the crops of 1986, 1985 and 1984.
