A | supply is being sent to Forest Ser-| vice Rangers for distribution to persons having land which is suit- able for cranberry culture f Experimental plots have aheady‘ been prepared at Petersburg an(u near Juneau. The local plot, 16 by! 60 feet, is located on the wood road; at mile 7 on the Glacier Highway. That at Petersburg is on the Rar ger station grounds. Plants for both| have been brought from Grayland, Wash,; for setting out as soon as| the ground is ready. A third plot is being prepared on Kenai Pen-| | instia: !
