E. A. story tron Boston. Massachusetts probably produces more cranberries than any other state in the union-there being only five out of the 48 in which the ber. ries are Crown. The other sates are New Jersey, Wisconsin, Oregon and Washington. Consequently while there mny be a surplus of wheat, corn, potatoes and other farm crops, there is never I surplus of these ber. ries. In fart, the supply is never enough to meet the demand. For a time the industry got along as best it could using old-fashioned methods of cultivation. But recently (modern mechanical practices, have been utilized, and now a number of machines have been developed not only to sort and grade the berries, but to pick them so well. Canned Cranberries Now The berries are no longer sold al- together for consumption in their na- tural state. They ere now canned and jellied, and shipped all over the World. Through canning, they are trade available All the year round. The way the Russians are now dumping all sorts of commodities on the world market would lead us to believe that what Henry Ford has really sold them wns not tractors but dump cars. . The bulk of cranberry picking is still done by hand, with the aid of wooden "seoops" or rlkes with curv- ed teeth. A skilled hand picker. paid by the box, can earn about $15 a day. Introduction of a mechanical picker has grently aided the industry. It is operated by gasoline and set with rows of curved teeth on a revolving cylinder. It can do the work of 10 men with scoops. It picks a bushel " eranherries in 45 seconds and cov- on from two and a half to three . No Danger to Vines The machine does no damage to growing vines, due to the fnct that its scoops work backward instead of forward. The pickers on the drum are in rows of 40, and as the drum revolves they move slowly through the vines, pull " the cranberries and carry them to the top of the drum. There they drop into a hopper Ind are conveyed to boxes on the outside of the muchine. Helpers follow the mnrhine and remove the boxes as fast as they are filled, , at cranberries in 45 seknds on! from two and a half acres a day. The machine is simple to operate. It runs on three rubber-tired wheels, is run by gasoline and can easily be handled by one operator. ftarirg brhnnl of mum Phonon Highland Park u" Wham “I! mm. LATHROP HARLEY.
