Lettuce research was designed to evaluate present packing procedures for hydroponically grown lettuce. Cooling rates, packaging techniques, and stacking patterns were examined. Sweet corn re- search involved an examination of how precooling and wholesale and retail handling affected sugar loss. Two varieties of sweet corn ('Florida Staysweet' and 'Gold Cup') were evaluated under different temperature regimes to emphasize why proper handling procedures are necessary at every step in the handling chain. Horseradish research examined how handling procedures at harvest and in storage affected dis- ease development, loss of fresh weight, sprouting, and total sugar content. CHRIS DOLL, area advisor in fruits and vegetables: The 1985 Vegetable School at Collinsville attracted an audience of 100, including 9 Missouri growers. The primary emphasis in 1984 was growing under plastic. This school was followed by the annual horseradish day at which the University of Illi- nois gave research updates. The summer twilight meeting at the Barry McMillan farm emphasized sweet corn and horseradish production systems and was concluded with attendance at a St. Louis Cardinal baseball game. Cooperation from the staff of the University of Illinois Departments of Horticul- ture, Plant Pathology, and Entomology with field plots resulted in (1) good ear- worm control in sweet corn with Pounce at 4 and 8 ounces and at 48 to 96 hour intervals; (2) continued favorable potentials for horseradish herbicides; (3) showing the potentials of fumigation with methyl bromide-chloropicrin in horse- radish production. There was a continuation of research in horseradish cultivars and storage, and pest management programs in horseradish and sweet corn. Interest in direct marketing continues in the area, and is supported by the staff through farm visits, newsletters, and promotion of the Farm Market Program. WALTER SPLITTSTOESSER, vegetable physiologist: The tomato is usually self-fertilized with wind being the primary pollination stimulus. Failure to set fruit is an important limiting factor affecting yield of plants. Although tomatoes can be grown over a wide range of temperatures, most cultivars only set adequate fruit under the narrow range of night tempera- tures of 59-70°F. -3- Parthenocarpic tomatoes set fruit naturally without seed. Research in the Department of Horticulture has shown that parthenocarpy in 'Severianin' tomato is controlled by the environment, and the control is a single recessive gene. Under favorable environments, seeded fruit is produced, but under unfavorable environments, such as the hot summers in Illinois, seedless fruit is produced. Fruit production in the greenhouse can also be a problem due to insufficient pollen shed. Again, under these conditions, seedless fruit is produced. It is hoped that this parthenocarpic gene can be transferred into lines with other desired horticultural characteristics. This could result in increased production, both in the greenhouse in winter, and under the hot Illinois summers. BILL SHOEMAKER, horticulturist: It was a busy year in 1984 at the Illinois River Valley Sand Field in Kilbourne, IL. Bill conducted vegetable trials, several studies, and hosted two twilight meetings for the growers of the region. Trials were conducted extensively on melons, in- cluding honeydew melons, large watermelons, yellow-fleshed watermelons, and obser- vations on mixed melons. A trial was also conducted on processing tomato culti- vars. Two studies he conducted looked at the use of spunbonded polyester mate- rials as row covers in a "floating" application. Use of the row cover over black plastic mulch on several planting dates was compared to the use of black plastic mulch or bareground planting of direct-seeded seedless watermelon. He also eval- uated its effectiveness on transplanted muskmelons in black plastic mulch. An evaluation was also conducted on the use of black plastic mulch on watermelons and muskmelons, both direct-seeded and transplanted. Results of this work can be found in the 1984 Illinois Vegetable Research Report. Bill is now established at the Northern Illinois Horticultural Research Center in St. Charles. He will be expanding his cultivar evaluation work with trials being carried out on ten to twelve vegetable crops. Other work he will conduct will include several studies on the use of row covers or tunnels on vegetable crops, an N fertility study on fresh market tomatoes and possibly some drip irrigation work. Any interested party is welcome to contact Bill at the Kane County Cooper- ative Extension Service Office (312)584-6166. BANDY LINDSTBOM, horticulturist, and ROBEBT CUBBY, Extension advisor from Kankakee County: The University of Illinois Horticulture Department conducted a successful twilight meeting in August of 1984. Forty-five growers viewed research plots dealing with variety trials on watermelons, broccoli, cauliflower, and peppers. Other studies conducted included a muskmelon transplant container comparison, a herbicide study on cucumbers, and fertility studies on peppers and broccoli. The Redwood Inn was the site for the Kankakee area Vegetable Growers School on January 22, 1985. Sixty-five growers heard various updates on insects, diseases, and weed control. Variety trial results from the Kankakee River Valley Sand Field and the Illinois River Valley Sand Field were presented. Special talks were given on drip irrigation and the development of good advertising programs. Following the meeting at the Redwood Inn, a representative from the University of Illinois Experiment Station announced the news that a permanent field will be established in the Kankakee River Valley. Land acquisitions will be looked into in the near future. -4- BARRY JACOBSEN, Extension pathologist: He presented disease control information at 7 schools in Illinois and made 37 farm visits. Barry made his annual trip to Tifton, Georgia, to inspect transplants for Illinois growers. He published a number of disease reports and circulars and co- authored colored picture sheets on vegetable diseases. These are available

W. OnOSON, DIRECTOR Vol. 9, No. 10, April 1977 FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK At no time during the past 15 years has there been more discussion at national levels about agricultural research. There are several reasons for this; international conferences on world population, and on world food, have raised questions about the ability of the world's food producers to meet future food needs and demands of this population. The convergenc~ of factors which led to the food supply-price situation of 1973-74 threw an additional scare into the minds of policy makers concerned with these issues. Admittedly, the apparent "crisis" has eased off for the moment with higher levels of stocks and lower prices, but the basic long-run concern about food production continues. There seems to be a consensus in these discussions that the most important factor contributing to long-term growth in agricultural productivity has been technological change.

  • Hopi Crop Diversity and Change
    J. Ethtlobiol. 13(2);203-231 Winter 1993 HOPI CROP DIVERSITY AND CHANGE DANIELA SOLER I and DAVID A. CLEVELAND Center for People, Food, and Environment 344 South Third Ave. Thcson, AZ 85701 ABSTRACT.-There is increasing interest in conserving indigenous crop genetic diversity ex situ as a vital resource for industrial agriculture. However, crop diver­ sity is also important for conserving indigenously based, small-scale agriculture and the farm communities which practice it. Conservation of these resources may best be accomplished, therefore, by ensuring their survival in situ as part of local farming communities like the Hopi. The Hopi are foremost among Native Ameri­ can farmers in the United States in retaining their indigenous agriculture and folk crop varieties (FVs), yet little is known about the dynamics of change and persis­ tence in their crop repertoires. The purpose of our research was to investigate agricultural crop diversity in the form of individual Hopi farmers' crop reper­ toires, to establish the relative importance of Hopi FVs and non·Hopi crop vari­ eties in those repertoires, and to explore the reasons for change or persistence in these repertoires. We report data from a 1989 survey of a small (n "" 50), oppor­ tunistic sample of Hopi farmers and discuss the dynamics of change based on cross·sectional comparisons of the data on crop variety distribution, on farmers' answers to questions about change in their crop repertoires, and on the limited comparisons possible with a 1935 survey of Hopi seed sources. Because ours is a small, nonprobabilistic sample it is not possible to make valid extrapolations to Hopi farmers in general.

Yield: It really depends on the size of the pumpkin and the size of your pie plate. If you use a 6" to 8" pie pumpkin and a full deep dish 9" pie plate, then it should fill that pie to the brim and maybe have enough extra for either a small (4 inch) shallow pie (or a crustless pie - see step 11). Some people manage to make 2 full pies, especially if they use shallow pie plates and/or 8 inch pie plates.

  • Pie Pumpkin, Which Has a Thicker Wall and Is Smaller in Size, and the Jack O’ Lantern, Used for Carving and Display
    Pumpkin has been cultivated in its native regions of South and Central America for over 9000 years. In the New England area, it was a staple among Native American tribes long before the arrival of Europeans. The two most common varieties are the pie pumpkin, which has a thicker wall and is smaller in size, and the Jack o’ lantern, used for carving and display. With the onset of cooler weather vines of the pumpkin die back and it is ready to harvest. Pumpkins will last for months with curing and proper storage. They are an excellent source of vitamin A in the winter, and are also high in iron, potassium, and phosphorus. CULINARY TIPS • Scrape the pumpkin’s inner walls with a wide serving spoon. • Homemade pumpkin puree can be much thinner in texture than canned. After pureeing the cooked or baked pumpkin, you can simmer it on the stove to cook it down. • Use cooked mashed pumpkin in cake and muffin recipes for added moisture. • Substitute shelled pumpkin seeds for pine nuts in recipes for a less expensive alternative. HOW TO STORE Pie Pumpkin Pumpkin will store at room temperature for several weeks, or for several months at 40-50ºF. Cook, puree, and pack it into airtight containers and store in the freezer for up to one year. 3 WAYS TO PREPARE • Sauté ½ inch slices with rings of onion, fresh grated ginger until golden brown on both sides. Add a pinch of salt or sweeten slightly with drizzled honey or maple syrup. • To use as edible decorative bowl, clean out and steam whole.

From the Chair OK, here we go—the first Official Progress Report from Worldcon 76 in San Jose! The World Science Fiction Convention is, to me, the World’s Fair of fandom. No other event brings together fans and creators, regardless of genre or medium, under one “big tent” with the face-to-face intimacy of Worldcon. There are lots of big pop culture conventions (quite a few bigger than Worldcon), but none of them feature the “everybody creates this event together” culture that makes Worldcon such a unique international gathering. Just last month at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, Finland, I had the privilege of announcing our final two Guests of Honor, artist John Picacio and musician Frank Hayes, who join GoHs Spider Robinson, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, and our posthumous Ghost and gHost of Honor Edgar Pangborn and Bob Wilkins. We look forward to sharing their talents in person with you next August, and I’m sure they are working on cunning plans with my Program and Exhibits divisions already.
