Wash (API — The paucity of pumpkins in other places hus Washington producers predicting profits from their plush patch es. Washington is the only state reporting larger-than-nonnal pump kin crops this season, after a summer of floods and droughts devas tated patches elsewhere Charles E. Voigt, a vegetable specialist with the Department of Hor ticulture at the University of Illinois, said the bad weather left much of the nation’s pumpkins vulnerable to disease "Even if they look good today, in the next five weeks, a lot of fruit rot can set in It's like a basketball that deflates; they just flatten out.” he said. Even in Washington, where you grew your gourd made a differ ence Not all pumpkins got the light and heat they needed, said lames Freed, cooperative extension agent for Mason County. "It's kind of spotty." Freed said. "But if the farmer lucked out and had a dry area, it was probably pretty good.” Pumpkins in Pierce County. King County and the areas north of Skagit County and around Yakima generally fared well. Freed said. Andy Novak's SO acres in Fife, east of Tacoma, are overflowing with pumpkins The rain-gorged globes are some of the largest his at res have ever yielded. "They are just beautiful," he gushed. Not all farmers have been as lucky. In Enumclaw, Susie Chap man said only 20 percent of the seeds she planted on her three acres sprouted. And her pumpkins are still green. “We had only three or four warm days the whole summer." Chap man said. Dean Cunningham, a manager with Washington Lettuce and Veg etable Co , which wholesales all pumpkins in the state, said he has received so many requests from pumpkin-deprived zones in the Mid west that he expects the price to rise this year. Last year's bulk buyers paid 0 cents to 7 cents a pound, and retail ers charged about 10 cents. "Time will tell," Cunningham said. "I’m feeling pretty optimistic."
