KNOX’S PUMPKINS 
Pumpkins are frequently planted in connection with a crop 
of field corn, and if you grow corn you may just as well grow 
pumpkins. They will grow best in soil kept moist by the dry 
farming method, as too much moisture will kill them. Plant 
the seed in open ground after the danger of frost is over, in 
hills 8 feet apart each way; drop from 8 to 10 seeds per hill 
and when the plants are about 5 inches high and danger of 
insect pests is past, thin to 3 or 4 of the healthiest plants. If 
irrigation is needed, run the water in ditches about 18 inches 
from the hill. About 3 pounds of seed will plant one acre.
