The

for
)roblem, with apparent success.
Johnson is about the only sur-
living loganberry grower in the
county from the some eight to 10
growers on Harstine and some on
the mainland of a few years ago.
Johnson says production this
year on his eight-acre berry field
is about up to normal after six
years of spraying tests eonducted
by tile Washington State Univer-
sity Agriculture Experiment Sta-
tion.
DR.. El) BRAKE of tbe Western
Washington Experiment Station at
Puyallup has been in charge of the
which harvest for this year !s
to the farm.
Johnson has about 15 persons
picking berries this year, mostly
neighbors from Harstine, along
with a few who make the journey
across the ferry to pick.
After the six years of spraying
and testing, the mites on " the
Jotmson berries have almost been
brought nnder control. The dry
berry mites cause undeveloped
berries to get dry and hard in-
stead of ripening.
Tl~e mites have hit other logan-
berry 'growing areas in Western
Washington, but, seemed to hit
the Harstine growers the hardest.
The Johnsons came to Harstine
in 1930 and planted their berries
soon afterward. They now have
about eight acres of loganberries
and an llcl'e of Kra,pes.
The toll of the berry mites and
rel.irement of the other growers on
the island ha.re left the Johnsons
as about the only loganberry
