Wiley, New York. FRUIT CROPS Alabama Florida Georgia ... Table 3 There are many reasons for the upsurge in interest in new horticultural crops. One industry expert (Cook 1990) reported that during the period between 1978 and 1989, consumption of fresh produce in the United States expanded 23%. The retail produce industry is now worth $32 billion. While the aging of American consumers also is a factor which can lead to overall reduced food purchases, it also has the potential for proportional increases in fresh fruit and vegetable consumption. Americans between the ages of 55 and 64 consume 39% more fresh fruit and 34% more fresh vegetables than the national average. As consumers move into their peak income-earning years, they purchase more high-value products and look for greater diversity. According to Manning (1990), the American produce industry has been riding the crest of a powerful demographic wave which will flatten by the year 2000. Manning predicts that although the nutritional appeal of fresh fruits and vegetables will continue, health options for consumers will increase; growers will need to create more demand and retailers will need to be convinced that consumers will pay more for produce before raising wholesale prices.

AQUACULTURE Culture Economics and Marketing METHODOLOGY ... Fig. 1 Crayfish production can be divided into two distinct segments: hard- and soft-shell production (Huner 1990; Huner and Romaire 1990). Hard-shell producers market tail meat, similar to shrimp production, while soft-shell producers market the entire body, similar to soft-shell crab production. Soft-shell production requires a dependable source of relatively large, hard-shell crayfish. Studies conducted in our laboratory have indicated significant potential for pond production of native species for the tail-meat market ( Table 1 ). In our first attempt at producing the northern or fantail crayfish ( Orconectes viriles ), production levels were dependent on initial stocking strategy, but ranged from 323 to 807 kg/ha when fed agricultural forages (Brown et al. 1990), which compares favorably with average production levels in the South of 545 to 691 kg/ha (Roberts and Harper 1988). That initial study and two regional symposia on crayfish culture stimulated a great deal of interest in crayfish and construction of ponds was initiated. The next step in providing opportunities to midwestern farmers is evaluation of soft-shell production. Soft-shell producers in the South purchase crayfish for $0.07 to 0.50 per kg, transport those animals to controlled, indoor tanks, and wait for the animal to molt, which typically takes 1 to 4 weeks. Soft-shell crayfish retail for $1.80 to $3.60 per kg. Thus, the profit margin and relatively quick turnover of product entices many farmers into soft-shell production.

Meerow and R.J. Black In the last few decades, the ability of landscaping features to improve the energy efficiency of residential, business and public buildings has garnered increasing attention, both in the scientific and professional communities. Unfortunately, the amount of attention paid to this subject tends to fluctuate with the price of the oil which fuels most of our energy needs. As petroleum prices begin a renewed upswing, interest in this subject has also been reawakened. Surprisingly, some literature on the subject predates widescale public awareness of energy related issues, particularly articles in the popular home and gardening press concerning the use of vegetation for microclimate modification. It should be kept in mind that university and government publications may go out of print after a few years. Consequently, some of this class of publication listed below may only be available from large institutional libraries.

Extractions: You are visitor A separate and distinct area of gardening is that of the Master Gardener - the voluntary arm of the Agricultural Extension Services. As a Past President and member of the Harris County Master Gardener Association (Houston, Texas), I am more familiar with the Texas Master Gardener program but Master Gardening is nationwide in scope and on this page I will be attempting to put it all together. I am often asked the question, "Who and what are 'Master Gardeners'"? The following comments, questions and answers are geared primarily to the Texas Master Gardener Program. However, with slight differences, they also apply to all 50 states since all now have "Master Gardener Programs". They also generally apply in the four Canadian provinces with the program except for the sponsorship of Cooperative Extension agencies. Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their cooperative Extension office to provide horticulture-related information to their communities.

Extractions: Taxonomists have only recently begun to agree regarding classification of the domesticated species of Capsicum . Although five species are described, only two, C. annuum and C. frutescens have any significance commercially in the U.S.A. Early species separation on the basis of fruit shape, color and position are of little taxonomic value. Flower and seed color, shape of the calyx, the number of flowers per node and their orientation, are the primary separating characteristics. A simple key to identifying the five domesticated species of Capsicum may be found on page 1996 of "Peppers of the Worldan Identification Guide" by Dave DeWitt and Paul W. Bosland, Ten Speed Press, PO Box 7123, Berkeley, CA 97407. C. annuum is the most important domesticated species in the U.S.A. and is the species to which all bell peppers, and all the peppers listed below belong (unless specified otherwise.)
