P|J|U|P|C||JC 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 
wanted for use on the farm. Plant them on the farm this year— it will pay you. 
t-’sually grown in cornfields, but if grown as a separate crop, seed should

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 dry place. Handle carefully and avoid 
bruising. Use one ounce of seed to 20 hills of most varieties ; 3 to 4 pounds "per acre.
