health food. They thrive under varied conditions 
and soils. Plant in hills six feet apart each way or 
if in drills have six feet between_rows and thin 
plants to 12 inches in the row. Plant thick and 
thin out after plants are up. The average family 
needs at least 1 ounce which will plant 100 hills or 
drill 200 feet of row.
