9 CRANBERRY GROWERS' ASSOCIATION. The vines do best when they are barely covered with water and I notice where the water stands over eighteen or twenty inches deep that the flooding is injuring them seriously. When the water is withdrawn in spring they present a dead like appearance, the leaves drop off the upright, and they produce no fruit where the water was deep, and it takes them the most of the summer to get on new leaves and have the same thing repeated next season. The water is in part spring water and in part from our heavy winter rain-fall and is pure-no minerals. I would consider it a favor if the members of the association when in session, would discuss this subject and then please let me know their finding." According to best data obtainable the crop of 1900 was distributed about as follows:- New England and New York .......... ..... 108,000 barrels New Jersey ........... ............... 63,000 The West ..... .. .................. 18,000" Total ........................ ........... 189,000 barrels or the smallest crop since 1894. The average price realized by the grower was in the neighborhood of five dollars and twenty-five cents. Fancy varieties commanding one dollar to one fifty per barrel higher. On the whole the cranberry industry of Wisconsin commences the century under auspicious conditions. RECEIPTS. Feb. 13, 1900.
