growing enormous foods. The three world records consist of the heaviest

pumpkin and the longest gourd(葫芦). And now it includes the heaviest

squash(南瓜).

when he broke the giant squash record. It weighed 2, 118 pounds. This was at Frerichs Farm in Warren last Saturday.

His other titles came in 2006. That is when he broke the record for longest gourd. It was a 126. 5-inch gourd. In 2007, he broke the record for largest pumpkin. It weighed in at 1, 689 pounds.

Jutras noted that others had won multiple world records for fruit and vegetables before. But they won in categories such as carrots that are not as competitive.

Jutras said his fruit is headed to New York City. It will be on display this month at the New York Botanical Garden.

Asked what he planned to do next, he said he’s been thinking about the bushel gourd.

A small insect is getting a lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states—meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back.

The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are “on the brink of extinction, ” according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects, like butterflies.

U. S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.

The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.
