Dr. Harvey Spurr, Professor of Plant Pathology, and several graduate assistants will try to assess damage, distribution and the casual agent.

CRISP LETTUCE If you're lucky enough to have garden lettuce this summer -- store it right to keep it fresh. Because lettuce -- like all fresh, perishable foods -? is best when eaten soon after harvest. So if possible, use it up within one or two davs. But if you plan to keep lettuce awhile ?? store it at the right temperature and humidity. Store lettuce in your refrigerator crisper section -? or in plastic bags. This will reduce moisture loss ~ keeping your lettuce fresh and crisp. Lettuce keeps its nutrients best at near - freezing tempera tures. When you bring lettuce in from outside -- wash it -- shaking well to get rid of excess water. Then store the lettuce immediately. A little work will pay off - in better, crisper salads all summer long. BUYING WATERMELON Warm, summer days add up to melon selling and melon eating time. And if watermelon is your choice, here are some buying tips: choose one that has a yellowish white color on the side that has lain on the ground. Or, if you don't want to trust your judgment -- if you want to see for yourself -- you can buy melons that have already been quartered or halved. When looking at a cut melon, select one that has a good red flesh color. Seeds whould be dark brown or black and the flesh texture should be firm and succulent. Light - colored flesh and white seeds indicate immaturity. Dry, mealy flesh, or watery, stringy flesh that shows darkening or softening of tissue next to seeds -- are signs of overmaturity. There may be a hard white streak located length-wise through the flesh of the watermelon. This condition -- known as white heart ? makes eating quality very un desirable. No matter how you slice water melon -- round or long -- serve it often as a delicious instant dessert or as a snack. READ THE WANT ADS PROMOTION?Cupt. Martin H.
