Cranberry Thrives Best
in Acid Peat, Muck Soil
The cheery little cranberry, once
called craneberry because its blos
soms resemble a crane’s head and
neck, is not modest in its require
ments.
It demands low-lying land satu
rated with water; prefers acid peat
or muck soil. There must be reser
voirs to constantly feed thirsty fields
through miles of radiating canals—'
to flood marshes quickly against kill
ing frosts and as a measure of in
sect control, states a writer in
Prairie Farmer.
It must have winter protection.
Just before heavy frost, reservoirs
are opened and vines covered; they
lie snug through winter beneath a
blanket of ice. They must have a
blanket of sand, toO. one inch thick
atop the ice, to settle gently but
firmly around vines in spring when
the ice goes out to absorb heat and
help keep frost away; to discourage
weed growth; to give old runners a
chance to reroot and thus renew the
bog.
Marshes are drained in the spring
and from short mother vines new
shoots creep. Buds swell and send
out a short shoot upon which pink
waxen blossoms bloom. When pet
als fall, tiny berries emerge to grow
and plumpen. Slowly their color
fades from green to creamy white;
to coral pink, while the rare and
vigorous flavor develops within.
Gathered, dried and boxed, cooler
weather turns the berries full fla
vored and a rich, ruby red.
Octopus Attacks Anything
Equipped by nature with power
ful arms, tough skin, no bones to
be injured and a razor-sharp, par
rot-like beak, an octopus attacks
anything. It is not excessively
courageous; just unusually stupid.
Its flabby head holds few brains.
Ordinarily “ devil fish” have tenta
cles about five or six feet long. But
the existence of demons with 60-
foot feelers has been proven by
carcasses tossed up on shores.
