SQUASH 
One ounce of early squash will plant 25 hills. 
Culture: Squash seed succeeds best in good, rich soil. It is not ad¬ 
visable to plant before May 15. Plant in hills 4 to. 5 feet apart for 
bush varieties, and for the running varieties, 7 to 8 feet apart. Put 6 
to 10 seeds in a hill, finally thinning out to 3 to 4 plants. Winter 
squashes may be grown in the corn field the same as pumpkins.
