CULTURE.—Usually grown in corn fields, but if grown as a separate crop, seed 
should be planted in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way after weather and soil get warm. 
Hoe often till vines begin to run. When leaves die cut the Pumpkins from vine, leaving 
8 to 4 inches of stem attached, and store in a dry place. Handle carefully and avoid 
bruising. One quart to 300 hills; 4 quarts to the acre. They ought to be grown largely 
on every farm in the South. Many sorts are splendid for pies and baking; others make 
a splendid feed for stock during the Winter months. This is a neglected crop in the 
South now, but should be more largely grown. They are easily sold in the towns and 
cities when not wanted for use on the farm. Plant Pumpkins on the farm in 1914—it 
will pay you.
