PUMPKIN 
CULTURE —Pumpkins are easy to raise and are very valuable 
for hogs, cattle and poultry, as well as for table use. Plant 
in May and June in rich hills 8 feet apart, covering the seed 
about 1 inch. Keep well cultivated, and when the plants are 
well up, thin to 3 of the strongest to each hill. Pumpkins also 
do well when grown in the corn, planting a few seeds in 
every fifth or sixth hill in every fourth or fifth row, letting the 
hill of pumpkin take the place of a hill of corn. Do not plant 
near melons, squashes or cucumbers, as they will hybridize, 
which will spoil the flavor of both.
