Sncscks for Reictxthg THE livgps gxposivR, ;EAFoRpir, Cranberries are truly a North American fruit, discovered and used by the Indians long before the arrival of the explorers. They were used with dried deer meat to make "pemmican" and were also added to beans and corn to make "soccotash". The juice was frequently used as a dye to color blankets and rugs. Cranberry culture is highly spec ializas the cultivated var- ieties't•M''t—be grown on bogs simulating the conditions under which the original wild strains are grown. This involves periodic flooding of the bogs and submergence of the vines to protect them against heat or cold. The first • commercially- grown cranberries were hal.= vested in Massachusetts in 1832. It was not until 1870 that culti- vation began in Canada in Nova Scotia, then moved to Quebec and more recently to •British Columbia. British Columbia now has the largest, Canadian production - about 10 million pounds per year. Fresh cranberries will be available in abundance this month. They may be stored in the freezer and used to make those delicious pies and breads again even after the Christmas season is passed. The berries need only be washed, sorted over to remove any bruised ones, and packed in a plastic bag. The two ruby-red cranberry pies tested by home economists welcome treat now or at any season.
