Culture. The soil for Water- 

 melons must be light, rich and 

 sandy, for if grown on a heavy soil 

 the quality will be poor, and they 

 will not be so early. When there is 

 no more danger of frost drop 8 to 10 

 seeds in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each 

 way, covering about J 4 inch deep. 

 As soon as plants commence to run, 

 thin out to 3 best plants in a hill, 

 and cultivate until the vines cover 

 the whole ground. If slow to fruit, 

 pinch off the ends of the growing 

 shoots. Ash or air-slated lime 

 sifted on the young plants while dew 

 is on is good to keep insects out. 

 One ounce will plant about 30 hills, 

 and it takes 3 to 4 pounds toan acre.
