This crop of squash was raised as a secondary crop, two 

 TOWS of turnip beets, mangels or cabbage being grown 

 between each two rows of squash. The 2.3 acres produced 

 besides the squash 250 bushels of blood turnip beets valued 

 at $100.00, 125 bushels of mangels valued at 118.75 and 

 100 bbls. of cabbage valued at 850.00. The squash vines 

 grew very fast and got the start of the mangels and cab- 

 bage so that neither of the latter varieties yielded over 

 half what they would if the squash had been planted farther 

 apart.
