County is, therefore, unlikely for nearly all the available bog land is already 

 developed. The extent of unused muck land in Plymouth, Norfolk, and 

 Bristol Counties shows that there is much room for expansion as far as avail- 

 able soil is concerned; but flooding facilities, sand supplies, and drainage 

 possibilities are as important as the matter of soil. Most of the good cran- 

 berry-bog sites in Plymouth County are already taken, but excellent unused 

 locations are scattered as far west as the Connecticut Valley and north to the 

 foothills of the White Mountains. Such sites seem to be especially abundant 

 in Essex and Middlesex Counties. There is, therefore, abundant room in 

 Massachusetts for such further development of the cranberry industry as the 

 growth of population or a wider use of cranberries may promote. 



A further increase in production may also come from increased yields per 

 acre as knowledge of cranberry culture progresses.
