PUMPKINS 
should be grown more largely on every farm in the South. Many 
sorts are splendid for pies and baking; others make a wonderful feed 
for stock during the winter months. This is a neglected crop in the South now, but should 
be more largely grown. Pumpkins are easily sold in the towns and cities when not want- 
ed for use on the farm. Plant them on the farm in 1918 — it will pay you. 
Usually grown in corn-fields, but if grown as a separate crop, seed should be 
wUILUrv planted in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way after weather and soil get warm. 
Hoe often till vines begin to run. Cut pumpkins from vine after the leaves die, leaving 3 
to 4 inches of stem attached, and store in a dry place. Handle carefully and avoid bruis- 
ing, Use one ounce of seed to 20 hills of most varieties ; 3 to 4 pounds per acre.
