A rich light loam is best for spinach. However, it will 
Culture grow in ane) soils. Spinach grows the year round in 
California and for succession plant every two weeks. Sow in drills 1 
foot apart and thin, keeping it free from weeds. Plant spinach thicker 
during the warm months as it does not germinate so well in warm 
weather. For field culture plant 16 to 18 inches apart to allow for 
horse cultivation. The plants will stand a relatively low degree of 
temperature but are seriously injured by heat, therefore we recom- 
mend that spring planting be avoided as the growth would not be as 
satisfactory. The average production per acre is 4 tons.

past. In the spring burn a quantity of brush and rubbish on the 
ground intended for the seed bed; then dig and pulverize the earth 
and mix with the ashes, after which the seed may be sown and 
covered very lightly. When the plants are about 6 inches high, trans- 
plant into rows, 4 or 4¥2 feet apart each way. Cultivate thoroughly 
with plow and hoe.

CUTWORMS—Cutworm injury almost invariably occurs in the spring, 
plants usually being cut off at the surface or a little below the sur- 
face of the ground. This injury begins as soon as the first plants 
sprout and continues until late in June or early July when the worms 
have become full grown. Feeding takes place at night, the worms 
resting during the day beneath debris or in the soil. For best results 
in controlling this pest distribute SOWBUG CONTROL over infested 
area, taking care to sprinkle it around each hill. See page 76.
