GUI TURF Pumpkins grow and thrive in most any soil. A well- 
(ji-ained soil subject to irrigation is best. Pumpkins 
like other vine crops, should be irrigated carefully, not allow¬ 
ing the water too close to the main stock. As the roots are 
long, irrigation can be made at the ends of the vine. When the 
fields are covered by vine, irrigate midway between the rows. 
Too much water is very detrimental to the vines. Plant hills 
8 to 10 feet apart each way, placing 4 seeds to a hill and after 
established pull out all but the one healthiest plant. Use one 
pound of seed per acre.
