Watermelon: An Art
Testing
Thumpers, rappers, hefters
and pluggers can test their wa
termelon picking know-how on
Brazos Volley crops, now at har
vest peak.
“Local crops are on the market
know,” says Dr. Edward E.
Burns, horticulture professor in
the Department of Soil and Crop
Sciences at Texas A&M. “Prices
are as good as they will be, and
we are in the middle of the best
time for quality. Retailers are
clearing South and West Texas-
produced melons.”
The Adriance Lab food tech
nologist offers tips for water
melon selecting. His methods
won’t leave pounded, bruised or
mutilated fruit on the stands.
I “look first at shape,” Burns
explained. “I want a uniform
melond with no gourd-like neck
or other mishapen features.”
“Surface color should be
bright without any dullness.
Study the ‘ground spot’ in par
ticular. It should be yellowish,
rather than white. A paper-
white color reveals an immature
melon.”
Burns said the fruit should
have a “good, solid heft,” though
weights of different varieties at
maturity vary.
Guidelines used by the scien
tist are reflected in a 1964 study
of maturation of Charleston
Gray watermelons by Wai Kit
Nip, food technology graduate
student from Hong Kong.
Grays are one of the more
popular varieties, because of
shipping characteristics. Black
Wiamonds and other types also
are commonly found in produce
departments.
Burns doubts the ability of
average shoppers to discern a
good melon by thumping or
knocking. Another method in
serts a fingernail into the rind,
proper consistency indicating the
ideal watermelon.
“Field hands and loads have
the knack of picking a good
melon, developed over a long
long period,” he remarked. “They
can’t pin it down how they do
it, but they do. They cut a lot
of melons.”
Thumping reveals turgidity of
meat, a higher sound tattling on
an unripe melon.
“If it goes ‘thud, thud’,” Burns
grinned, “it’s over-ripe.”
“Oldtimers check the tendril
for a rough measure of ripeness,”
he added. The field method
notes drying and color condition
of the vine.
The prof said average Charles
ton Grays weigh 30 pounds maxi
imum, the average size at ma
turity about 20 pounds though
15-pounders are eatable. Seeds
in all but white-seeded varieties
are tell-tale signs, he divulged.
“Botanically, the ovary is not
mature until seed mature. Stage
of color development is an indi
cator. If you fork up some
white seeds and some dark ones,
you have an immature water
melon.”
Plugging is generally an in
fallible method of picking a
properly ripened mekm, but,
points out the scientist, only a
few retailers allow the knife-test
method.
“The mark of a connoisseur is
to ask for yellow-flehed water
melon,” the taste panel director
commented. “This is an orang-
ish-yellow, green-striped melon
very popular among East Tex
ans. They won’t slice anything
else. It has a honey-sweet, dis
tinctive flavor, of limited trade
and therefore high quality.”
One breed of seed-spitter is
out of luck. There’s no sure
fire way of getting a juicy, ripe
watermelon by moonlight.

(FASHIONED!
Now it’s just an antique, a relic of a bygone era. Formerly it served a practical purpose, a
special need. Today, Grandfather’s horseless carriage is completely outmoded.
Some philosophies are also out of date. New ideas grip our minds and challenge the intellect.
We would not want a “horse and buggy” philosophy in this modern world of growth and change.
Some things do not change, for they are eternal. For example, man’s soul and his need of God.
No modern invention can ever make God and the Church obsolete. Society is different today than
it was in Grandfather’s day, but man’s spiritual needs are the same.
Discover the value of the timeless in the midst of time. Worship God in your church this week
and find the eternal truth which spans the ages.
