CULTURE — Thoroughly soak the soil. When dry 
enough, plow ten or twelve inches deep. After pulverizing the 
soil make furrows eight or ten inches deep. Plant the seed in 
furrows six feet apart each way, using eight to ten seeds to a 
hill, which will require one and a half pounds to the acre. 
When paper covers are used, planting in the Salt River Valley 
generally starts in early February and March. If covers are 
not used, plant after danger of frost is over. As the plants 
grow, gather the soil around them until the roots are ten or 
twelve inches below the surface. Thin out surplus plants as 
soon as they are hardy and well established. Please remem¬ 
ber that the roots are as long as the vine; therefore when 
working close to the vines let the cultivation be shallow. 
Always cultivate the irrigating furrow when dry enough so 
as to conserve the moisture. See Liefgreen’s guide for insect 
pests on melons.
