 I just received a gracious letter from Jack and Sherry LaRue. I wrote
 Sherry about her kilo-pounder and it's nearly invisible crack to the
 cavity. I felt that her having to come forward to point this out to the
 judges ( they would not have noticed it) and to insist that the GPC
 rules apply to their findings ( the crowd wanted the pumpkin to be
 admitted) showed the type of character that makes giant pumpkin growing
 such a great sport to be associated with. Along with there letter came
 seeds from some damn big pumpkins. Jack LaRue mentioned that he had
 problems with his seed this year with many being cracked or blown open.
 In examining these seeds I see what he is talking about. What is one to
 think of a seed who's shell is cracked to one degree or another?

Cracked seed is common but hasn't seemed to adversely affect germination.
