Pumpkins 
In Your Cornfield 
1 Oz> to 25 Hills; 4 Lbs. per Acre 
Culture—Sow in May or June in warm, rich 
soil. A good time and location is to plant in 
the cornfield when you plant corn. Plant in 
hills 1 in. deep, 6 to 8 ft. apart each way or 
further, as the vines like plenty of room to 
ramble. When the plants appear above the 
ground, dust with air'slacked lime or land 
plaster mixed with dry soil to control the 
striped beetle. It is best to avoid planting 
near other vegetable vines or pumpkin va¬ 
rieties.
