"The blue- berry business is getting rough, that is due primarily to the difficulty in getting pickers. We have to pay the pickers a minimum of 80 cents an hour \^^hether they do that much work or not." Holds Oftices Mr. Lee is active in the councils of iboth New Jersey cranberry and blue- berry growing. He is first vice presi- dent of American Cranberry Growers Association. He is a director of Tru- Blu. He has served three years as director of County Board of Agri- culture, Burlington County. He is also a director of the Glas- boro Service Association of Glass- boro, which is a subsidiary of the Farm Bureau and brings in 10,000 Puerto Rican help a year. He is past exaulted ruler of Mt. Holly Lodge of Elks, No. 848 and a past president of the Mt. Holly Lions Club. The Lees, Mr. Lee giving great credit to Mrs. Lee for her help in both cranberry and blueberry grow- ing have a home located on the property where they are close by their means of livilhood. "I have plenty of room for both cranberry and blueberry expansion on the property," Mr. Lee says. It may be expected that if the future of New Jersey cranberries justifies that Mr. Lee will be one of those to expand his holdings and help keep New Jersey up to at least its present position in the overall cran- berry industry.
