Fig. 4.— Before advertising was begun it was not unusual for a large crop of cranberries to bring a smaller 
total receipt than a smail crop. The crop of 1914 brought less than a crop one-half as large in 1917. Ad- 
vertising was begun in 1916. Even in the face of sugar shortages and increased transportation rates, 
growers' receipts have not decreased with increased production since that date.
