SQUASH

well-manured, rich soil. Plant seed in hills 3 to 4 feet 
apart for bush varieties and 6 to 8 feet apart for run- 
ning varieties. Sow 8 to 10 seeds per hill and cover with 
1 to 2 inches of dirt. When plants reach the fourth leaf 
stage, thin out to the three strongest. An occasional feeding of liquid manure will increase
