Ibigipir Mtiis Other than setting records and annoying the neighbors, there are no good reasons to let most vegetables reach their maximum size. Most vegetables should be harvested when young and tender and certainly before you need a wheelbarrow to carry them to the neighbors car, says Jerry Good-spee- d, Utah State University Extension Horticulturclist. About the only exception to this rule is winter squash. When are winter squash ripe? "If the squash are picked too early they will not store well nor be as sweet, he says. "Normally, I would wait until the stem of die fruit is dry and hard and the same is true for the squash itself, before harvesting. Press a fingernail into the skin of the squash. It should be hard to penetrate and no moisture will form in the indentation. Once picked, most winter squash can be stored for several months. Goodspeed says. The ideal storage environment is a cool (50-5- 5 F), dark room, llie stem should be completely dry and a good inch long for proper storage. Protect the squash from freezing temperatures and do not store any that is damaged or has soft spots. Most varieties of winter squash are sweet and can be grown here in Northern Utah, he says. Most require a long season and must be set out into the garden as soon as the last frost has passed in the spring. The problem is. many varieties of winter squash are huge, power hungry vines that overtake the rest of the garden." Good-spee- d said. "Their appetite for land can be reduced by growing up tomato cages or on fences. If grown as a vine, larger fruit may need a'plant hafnmock or some support to keep from falling off the vine bcfoie reaching maturity. "For instance, butternut is sweet, easy to grow and can be cooked in a variety of ways, but it requires a lot of space." he explains. "If this is a problem, try the newer Butterbush variety that requires no more room than a large tomato plant." The largest winter squash is probably the "Banana." he says. The world record for this variety is around 150 pounds. The problem with banana squash is they grow so large that once they are cut they become a staple of eery meal for the next month. Vegetable spaghetti squash is probably the most popular. Good-spee- d says. It is a smaller plant that grows best up a trellis. Since the fruit is smaller, it will not need to be supported. Its unique meat looks similar to ccoked spaghetti noodles. Other winter squash include acorn, blue hubbard. buttercup and Turks turban, he adds. Again, if space is a problem, look for bush varieties. them Forester Intermountain Regional Forester Jack Blackwell called on Forest Service retirees for help in assisting with the most severe fire season in decades. "Our retirees have extensive experience in fire operations, fire management and natural resource management and their skills are much needed in one of the most severe fire seasons in decades," said Blackwell.

Bui the medical community is noting what it calls an "alarming" increase in the frequency of the disease among children and adolescents. and the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Diabetes Assoc, have issued a new set of screening guidelines. The two groups recommend doctors test all young patients who are overweight and have at least two other risk factors for the disease, such as a family history and being of Native American. Hispanic.
