SQUASH 
Sow the seed in hills, about 4 feet apart each way for the 
summer varieties and 10 to 12 feet for the late or winter sorts. 
Do not sow, however, until the soil is warm and dry. The Squash 
vine borer may cause some trouble during the season but can be 
discouraged by sprinkling tobacco dust close around the plants. 
Covering the vines with a little soil at several joints so that they 
take root there will also help to limit its destructiveness. The 
black Squash bug can best be kept in check by hand picking; 
spraying with calcium arsenate is the proper remedy for the 
striped beetle. 
One ounce of Squash seed will plant 15 to 20 hills; 
3 to 5 pounds will plant an acre, according to variety
