CULTURE—Thoroughly soak the soil. 
When dry enough, plow 10 or 12 inches 
deep. After pulverizing the soil make 
furrows 8 or 10 inches deep. Plant the 
seed in furrows 6 feet apart each way, 
using 8 to 10 seeds to a hill, which will 
require 1% 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 re¬ 
member that the roots are as long as 
the vine; therefore when working close 
to the vines let the cultivation be shal¬ 
low. Always cultivate the irrigating fur¬ 
row when dry enough so as to conserve 
the moisture. See Liefgreen’s guide for 
insect pests on melons.
