CULTURE: Cucumbers prefer a heavy loam. After 
danger of frost has passed, plant the seed % inch 
deep in rows 4 feet apart. Drill about 3 pounds seed 
to the acre and when plants have 4 or 5 leaves, thin 
to 1 plant every 18 inches. Can also be planted in 
hills 3 to 4 feet apart. Cultivate often and irrigate 
about once a week. Keep the cucumbers picked as 
fast as they reach the size desired. If fruits are 
allowed to remain on the vine, the vines cease to bear
