I'm having a hard time understanding the 
question. If "Watercress" can have data in it, 
then I take it that it is the name of a field. If 
there is an extra Watercress field in your 
printout, with no data in it, then I take it 
there must be a label of some kind that says 
"Watercress" or you wouldn't know it was there. 
Assuming this is a report form that you are 
printing, look at the header tile to see if the 
word Watercress appears twice, and delete the 
extra one if it does. I suspect there is no 
corresponding data cell or anything else in the 
data tile beneath it, and that is why it doesn't 
have any data. It's just an extra label. 
Alternatively, it could be a mislabeled field. 
The word Watercress may have been used to label 
some other field, and that field doesn't happen 
to have any data in it.
